I was served a Quarantine Order. What's next?What happens from the moment you are served a Quarantine Order in Singapore?<div><br /></div><div>For me, the phone call from the Ministry of Health (MOH) preceded a series of "What's next". In the phone call, I navigated between the need to obtain more information and releasing the officer to move on to clearing his other cases. I tilted more towards the latter, since what would happen, would happen.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the first phone call, I was informed that I had come into contact with an individual who had later on been tested COVID-19 positive, and I would thus have to be quarantined for 14 days from the date of the encounter. The officer added that I would be receiving a SMS and a further phone call to confirm the timing of transport pick-up to the quarantine facility.</div><div><br /></div><div>Possibly due to the recent surge in community cases, there were no further contact by MOH that day. I received a call the next day, informing me to be ready by a certain timing for the transport the next day and that the driver would be calling 30 minutes before that to share with me where I would be headed to. I then received the SMS informing me of my quarantine period and instructions to download a mobile app, which collected location data and temperature readings.</div><div><br /></div><div>Google was not very useful in finding out what to pack for quarantine and what would be or not be provided by the quarantine facility. It was even worst when Google results showed previous news reports on complaints on the facility...</div><div><div><br /></div><div>The driver called early in the morning (since I was his first passenger for the day) and gave me a comfortable lead time to prepare myself. </div><div><br /></div><div>To make it easy for me to identify the vehicle, the driver stood outside his limousine in full personal protective equipment (PPE). I picked up my pace as I sheepishly boarded his vehicle, and sat on the exact seat that he assigned me to.</div><div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4KtfJJ-ZP6-he5YeGP7uSXO_AAIusIgMcqfwo5a1GpI0jXbz5NipEfC4T8psqxcJEi5gzjwaf1_D9ZuNs3PN8AE_sxgXaYzyIT_q96Clg-kuqPZwPD04hnU-y6_Nt1mbjXz2u/s1600/Transport+to+QO+Facility.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4KtfJJ-ZP6-he5YeGP7uSXO_AAIusIgMcqfwo5a1GpI0jXbz5NipEfC4T8psqxcJEi5gzjwaf1_D9ZuNs3PN8AE_sxgXaYzyIT_q96Clg-kuqPZwPD04hnU-y6_Nt1mbjXz2u/s320/Transport+to+QO+Facility.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Air conditioning was turned on, but all the windows were drawn down.

The promotion was almost unbelievable: 50% off for adults, additional 10% off for seniors; free for children below 16. It was a great opportunity to try the cruise out. </p><p>Safety was another consideration. I was quite impressed with the CruiseSafe programme put in place by the Singapore Tourism Board. Singapore is probably the first country in the world to develop and put in place a mandatory certification programme for cruise lines before they could commence sailings. Since the resumption of cruise travel from November 2020, there were no cases of on-board COVID-19 infections. </p><p>The requirement to undergo swab test prior to boading the cruise was ironically what made us hesitant to go for cruise. In fact, after my first swab test done in my life for this trip, I told myself that this trip had better be worth it.</p><p>The COVID related restrictions on mainland were applicable on the cruise. The restriction of group size from 8 pax to 5 pax occured on 8 June while we were onboard, so for the first 2 days, we could dine as a group of 7 but had to split tables from 8 June.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Pre-Cruise</u></b></p><p>We did some research online to find out the layout of the ship and online reviews to determine which level and which area of the cruise should we book for our rooms. We picked Level 10, which was not too near Level 14 where most activities were and yet, offered a high enough view out of the balcony.</p><p>After signing up for the 4-Nights cruise trip, EDMs for promotion and deals for activities onboard were sent via email. Perhaps the most important thing to do pre-trip was to download the Royal Caribbean mobile app which would reflect the activities available, nearer the date of the trip. </p><p>While the Genting's World Dream offered its guests the Antigen Rapid Test (ART) swab test, conducted immediately before the boarding, Royal Caribbean's guests had to schedule their Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) swab tests 2-3 days before the trip. To the uninitiated, PCR swabs are generally more uncomfortable.</p><p>We also did our check-in way ahead of time and managed to secure one of the earlier slots at 3pm.</p><p><br /></p><p> <b>And the Trip Begins!</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just as stated in the instructions, admission into the MBCC was kept strictly to the timing. We arrived right on our scheduled timing at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre and had a clear lane in. A long queue was already building up for those who reached earlier than their stipulated timing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For instance, asking about some recent news headlines on a topic that you have no interest in would put you in an awkward position when you can't continue the conversation with your newly acquainted counterpart.</p><p>On the same note, don't ask a question if you don't know what to do with the answer. </p><p>That said, a relatively safe and easy question these days could go in the line of "How are you coping about COVID situation?"</p><p><br /></p><p><b>2) Give the Other Person an Easy Way into the Conversation </b></p><p>Ask easy questions that would allow the other person to participate in the conversation.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3) Be Brave about Sharing Yourself</b></p><p>Share something more personal and share genuine experiences which would give others a chance to better remember you.</p>Fong Yoong Kheonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04121648000301880687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332784.post-24197624831356207712020-08-27T00:40:00.002+08:002020-08-27T00:40:09.952+08:00Reviving Air Travel<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Reciprocal Green Lanes • Travel Bubbles • Travel Corridors • Corona Corridors • Travel Bridges </b></p><p>Some new synonymous words in the COVID-19 lexicon. </p><p>Recent news articles on reviving air travel have generated polarised views. On one hand, some want it resumed as soon and safe as possible. On the other extreme, some want borders closed until the extinction of COVID. In such times, we must be thankful that we have a centrist and balanced government. </p><p>Not many governments can endure prolonged lockdowns unless they have huge reserves; print more money (which may lead to fiscal instabilities) or borrow more (increase burden for younger generation). In any case, please don't be alarmed when you read about Singapore starting discussions on RGL with Indonesia (which has about 2306 new confirmed cases today). </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEjYg6BHiinV00bCMH_x3H3JArP_zft_GiGoCHzHFO0IqZOezT7ceWZcmsSGR2jdIS5fKyxO4v5adHQzhOu2zWv1F8KIrb6cYT7WlSHA6ef5IgJh2xIv1VRcRQ5-mTH_tqUV1/s1600/T3+Arrivals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJEjYg6BHiinV00bCMH_x3H3JArP_zft_GiGoCHzHFO0IqZOezT7ceWZcmsSGR2jdIS5fKyxO4v5adHQzhOu2zWv1F8KIrb6cYT7WlSHA6ef5IgJh2xIv1VRcRQ5-mTH_tqUV1/w307-h410/T3+Arrivals.jpg" width="307" /></a></p><p>In fact, I think our Singapore diplomats and transport ministries should start discussing with every country. Establishing mutually agreed arrangements and protocols take time. To start discussing only with countries that have low cases will mean missing the window of travel before the next wave hits. </p><p>Just like in business, you don't wait for the clients to start issuing cheques to you before printing your product brochures to show them, it is in our interest to establish RGL arrangements with every country which are ready to be implemented when the time is right. And yes, we can then disagree on what time is a right time. But till then, let's hope Singapore gets into as many travel arrangements as possible.</p>Fong Yoong Kheonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04121648000301880687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332784.post-72300337144987790132020-08-22T16:20:00.002+08:002020-08-22T16:20:21.159+08:00My Qatar Escapade (Day 2)<p> 29 December 2019</p><p><br /></p><p>Headed to the gym in the morning after a great night of rest from the long march <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2020/08/my-qatar-escapade-day-1.html" target="_blank">the day before</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSPXLfWuzGE0BN_635RGpM3O34A0c0J9kWKcZlT5qM6Sl1ktyKjyeAWLEHEHxMVOQon3tcHsL0XftpMAsNMqoNsY26epzcLXLqqxX6_Rd8htLLGJ9URuha3iSNampwYZYb2JqK/s2048/36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSPXLfWuzGE0BN_635RGpM3O34A0c0J9kWKcZlT5qM6Sl1ktyKjyeAWLEHEHxMVOQon3tcHsL0XftpMAsNMqoNsY26epzcLXLqqxX6_Rd8htLLGJ9URuha3iSNampwYZYb2JqK/w328-h246/36.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">After getting my hands on some Qatari Riyal, I finally could take public transport.

GE2020 could be remembered as the COVID election; the watershed election that saw the most number of elected opposition in Parliament since <i>Barisan Sosialis</i> boycotted Parliament in 1968; the election that brought in the 5G leaders; or perhaps just simply one that ushered in a <i>new normal </i>(which election doesn't?).</div><div><br /></div><div>With a campaigning period of 9 days and a day of "Cooling Off", the relatively short timeline seemed to have cramped all the emotions/heat/passion into a cabin-sized luggage meant for a 5-year overseas work assignment. In other countries, people get weary of the long campaigning. Trust me, a short campaigning period equally drains you with that intensity. </div><div><br /></div><div>The top most common question I received since the end of the Circuit Breaker measures, a stringent set of stay-home measures imposed by the government in lieu of COVID-19 cases, was, "Do you think the People's Action Party (PAP) will win back Aljunied GRC?" My candid answer was sometimes, "I don't know. I have never smelt victory."</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>

For the PAP, <a href="https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/ge2020-lawrence-wong-pap-to-do-more-win-young-middle-aged-voters-12943628" target="_blank">the work to win the next GE starts right after the current one</a>. Having served alongside most of the Aljunied GRC PAP candidates since GE2015, I was naturally happy that the PAP decided to field the existing slate of PAP Branch Chairpersons. While some would argue that the lack of a "heavyweight" (probably defined as a veteran Member of Parliament or Minister) candidate meant that PAP did not see winning the GRC as a priority, I chose to see it as a form of recognition by the PAP for this team of candidates who had served the constituents as opposition in their wards.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="411" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FChuaEngLeongPAP%2Fvideos%2F197446281623308%2F&show_text=false&width=734&appId=228047492930&height=411" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="734"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZpPZtSSrbH_aCE3ZAfR2-DKfhqoIJJU5Hre0afKTB_bKJWIkIOk3S7KFKLWxJgYScREgv0PI3pwuWMa5nPVL4goBjLIXjh_pMaUCmzozpbkUM-HYfoLTe_AZT-PZGUy2_a_F/s960/Perambulant+Vehicle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZpPZtSSrbH_aCE3ZAfR2-DKfhqoIJJU5Hre0afKTB_bKJWIkIOk3S7KFKLWxJgYScREgv0PI3pwuWMa5nPVL4goBjLIXjh_pMaUCmzozpbkUM-HYfoLTe_AZT-PZGUy2_a_F/w400-h300/Perambulant+Vehicle.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><i>Aljunied GRC PAP's Perambulant Vehicle</i></div><div><br /></div><div>One of my favourite things to do during GE campaigning is to drive the PAP perambulant vehicle (or be driven) around the constituency. At times, we were welcomed with finger greetings. Most of the times, residents waved at us or give us the feisty fist pump to cheer us on. Looking at curious children with their wondering expressions reminds me on the purpose of politics - to chart a better future for our future generation.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="586" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fyoongkheong%2Fposts%2F10158232810016638&show_text=true&width=552&appId=228047492930&height=586" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="552"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In lieu of political rallies which could not be held safely due to COVID-19, GE2020 introduced the Constituency Political Broadcast for candidates to pitch on national television. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recalled in GE2011 when Aljunied GRC's PAP team asked its Workers' Party (WP) counterparts on their plans for the GRC.

One caught my attention. NTUC's Deputy Secretary-General Koh Poh Koon interviewed a fellow Industrial Relations Officer (IRO) colleague her role as an IRO and how Unions and IROs support union members in job placement. "Jobs" was a major pillar of PAP's GE2020 manifesto - <i>Our Jobs, Our Lives, Our Future</i>.</div><div><br /><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="413" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdrkohpohkoon%2Fvideos%2F326752542058452%2F&show_text=false&width=734&appId=228047492930&height=413" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="734"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>One of the most emotional video in this GE goes to:</div><div><br /><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="588" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Firene.low.507%2Fvideos%2F3514906935242578%2F&show_text=true&width=734&appId=228047492930&height=588" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="734"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Social inequalities and inequities are often used by the Opposition to cast the ruling party as heartless and ignorant, in Singapore and as in most countries. There are many ways to eradicate inequalities. The PAP's way is a multi-pronged approach and begins with a heavy investment in educating our young.

Our candidate Chua Eng Leong walked past and saw him and did a "PAP" fist pump. Little would I know that it impressed in my little one's mind so much that he would do the same at home, and even on the way back from school. As the GE campaign came to the tail end, he had the same question for his Mum everyday, "Why is Papa always at the PAP (office)?"</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="695" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fyoongkheong%2Fposts%2F10158251365281638&show_text=true&width=552&appId=228047492930&height=695" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="552"></iframe></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Being a PAP Counting Agent for in an opposition ward is no joke. Your heart skips a beat when the sample vote counts gradually show things are not in your favour. You endure long nights (into the morning) as the newscaster announces the results of the other constituencies before yours. But in GE2020, my heart sank even deeper when our WP counterparts burst into cheers on the announcement of their victory in Sengkang GRC.</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="encrypted-media" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="753" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fyoongkheong%2Fposts%2F10158257742481638&show_text=true&width=552&appId=228047492930&height=753" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="552"></iframe></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Social media churned out tonnes of political analysts post-GE. Many offered their perspectives on why the PAP fared well (based on the number of seats it won) or badly (how it lost additional seats to the Opposition). In a contest, there are winners and there are losers. What matters is what do you do after you won or lost.</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8qIeMmOVcdw" width="560"></iframe></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Some asked me, "Why do you still serve in an Opposition ward?" Well, while the PAP is not flawless, it is a centrist party that appeals to a broad spectrum of society. There are strong fundamental values of the PAP that I believe in, including the belief in a establishing a fair and just society. And most importantly, it is a party which emphasises on building a democracy of deeds and taking action over words.</div><div><br /></div><div>How would the future generation study GE2020 and derive the lessons it provided?

This is a compilation of my once-in-a-lifetime Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Professional Fellows Program (Spring 2019).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The program brought me to visit the United States of America for the first time in my life. During the 6 weeks' stay in the US, I had the chance to visit Washington DC and was based in the City of Chicago for 4 weeks. At Chicago, I had the chance to work in Metropolitan Family Services and learn they support families and build strong communities. From Chicago, we also had the chance to visit nearby places such as Springfield, Illinois; New Berlin, Illinois; Village of Barrington; the City of North Chicago; and Madison, Wisconsin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Special Thanks to US Department of State for the opportunity; American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) for delivering a robust schedule for the program; Ric Estrada, CEO and President of Metropolitan Family Services for hosting me at the organisation for 4 weeks; ACYPL alumni who facilitated our placements and arranged our visits and meetings; colleagues and friends we met in the US; and most importantly, the 23 other ACYPL Professional Fellows (especially Ivy, Yasmin and My who were also in Chicago with me) who made the experience the way it couldn't be any richer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are too many people to thank, and I hope, in a way, that my blogposts had done justice in showing appreciation to each and every one of them.</div>

First, we had the plenary session on <i>Transforming Vision into Reality,</i> by Viola Llewellyn, Co-Founder and President, Ovamba Solutions Inc.</div>

<i>Viola Llewellyn</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viola shared that the toolkit of diversity is our strength. The Leader Within has the power of managing failure; the power to encouraging growth; and needs to hone the art of authenticity and vulnerability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viola urged Fellows to make managing change a legacy, and to develop a culture of connecting the old and new. She added, "We will die one day."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viola shared that solving problem is an honour and privilege. One needs to sell the upside/game, not the product itself, e.g. when someone wants a hole in the wall, we don't sell the wall to the person but the tools to drill the hole.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She ended off with an analogy which succinctly describes most of our journey: When you drive at night, you can only see the lighted road right in front of you and can't see your destination, but you keep driving. Why? Isn't it because you want to reach your destination?</div>

<i>Anthony Robinson on Change Makers</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anthony started his segment by asking why we were here. He shared that it was not just for networking, but to be part of a community of change makers. Citing the story of Rosa Parks, he shared that the traits of change makers are 1) Takes Risks; 2) Courage; 3) Humility. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anthony talked about having a purpose-driven leadership/career, "Lifestyle guides your career." We took some time to come up with our individual Mission Statements. If an activity/involvement comes along, one should reflect and see how it aligns with one's own mission statement, and if it does not, to consider how much time one should be spending on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emphasising the need to be able to articulate our own personal story, he shared about his downtrodden past and how he got to where he is today. One should have in mind different versions of one's personal story, for different audiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, Anthony shared that Transformational Leadership requires GRIT:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Generosity</li>
<li>Respect</li>
<li>Integrity</li>
<li>Truth & Transparency</li>
</ul>

<i>Graham F. West, Communications Director, Truman Center on "Perfecting your Pitch"</i></div>
<br />
Graham shared that a pitch should address 3 key questions in 2 minutes:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Why this? - Describe the problem that you are working to solve</li>
<li>Why you? - Establish credibility as a leader and demonstrate that you understand your audience</li>
<li>Why now? - Establish urgency and why it matters at this very moment</li>
</ol>
<br />
It is useful to have different versions of the pitches:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>5-second pitch: Most concise, single-sentence version</li>
<li>2-min pitch: Build off and use value narratives. Tell a story, establish emotional connection, demonstrate you share important values with the audience</li>
<li>30-second pitch: Briefly describe how you will execute your idea and mission</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graham segregated the audience into 5 different types and shared the corresponding narrative required:</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Active Supporter - basic narrative</li>
<li>Supportive but not active - majority narrative</li>
<li>Questioning/Unsure - persuasion narrative. It's all about trust, and seeking that permission to be heard</li>
<li>Active Opposition </li>
<li>Inactive Opposition - emphasise on values/emotions</li>
</ul>
<div>

<b><i>"You can't share what you believe until you can articulate what you believe"</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5 ways to articulate:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Connect through emotions</li>
<li>Identify shared values - what are your values and what is the audience's values?</li>
<li>Learn 3 value narratives for any issues<br />"My number one goal is keeping us safe"<br />"I believe my organisation should be a leader in this space" - convincing audience that you can solve the problem<br />"I understand that there's a problem and I'm here to solve it" - no-nonsense; focus on urgency; reframe the discussion</li>
<li>Use short personal story</li>
<li>Make pitch by putting the above all together</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Graham ended his sharing by sharing a story. Once, villagers living by the river encountered floating babies that were abandoned upstream. Villager A took action by saving the babies. Villager B took action by teaching the babies how to swim. Villager C took a step back and then went upstream and stopped the person who's throwing the babies. </div>

<i>Susan Hay Patrick, Chief Executive Officer, United Way of Missoula County</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Susan hosted Professional Fellows in her organisation, United Way of Missoula County, for several years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Susan shared the importance to be outward-facing, and to look inward (reflective), and think about how does one contribute to the dysfunction. She urged Professional Fellows to find a way to reach out to others, and to mentor the young.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Susan reminded Professional Fellows not to lose the sense of humour, which is an act of leadership. Funny leaders = good leaders. And to never lose hope in whatever we do.</div>
<br />

Professional Fellows were then divided into 20 groups for the Pitch Practice Workshop. The organiser had grouped Fellows based on their areas of interest. For our group, it was economic empowerment.</div>

Ami was sharp to spot me (her facebook friend) amongst the crowd of Professional Fellows. Not losing out to the game, I made a wild guess that she is a Gujarati, and I got it spot on.

Out of over 30 embassies of Singapore, the one at Washington DC is the largest. We had a chat about our 6 weeks of Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Professional Fellows Program experience in our 5 different placement cities, and what we set out to achieve. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We also talked about the “Crazy Rich Asian” film and Trump-Kim Summit which had generated interest of Singapore and Asia within America. And how, although Singapore is not perfect, we have so much to count our blessings for. I can now totally appreciate what it means when we say we have a clean and green, secure and safe environment. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each State gifts two statues which would be displayed at the State Capitol. States are free to decide who they want to feature, but the individual must have already passed on. The statues are made of either bronze or marble. A total of 100 statues are placed throughout the State Capitol building, including the Capitol Visitor Center.</div>

Our guide was explicit in describing the state of the crowded Chamber back in those days. With a high ceiling, there were echoes from conversations and speeches. The floor was carpeted and stained with tobacco spits. There was a quote from a former Representative who said that if you dropped something on the floor, you would need gloves to pick it up.</div>

There are 36 statues in the Statutory Hall. One of them is not a State collection, and that is the statue of Rosa Parks, who refused to budge from her seat in a bus when she was told that she should be seated at where the blacks should be sitting. Her acts led to the Montgomery bus boycott. Her statue was placed in the State Capitol as a request from Congress.</div>

<i>Some of us shared our reflections on the 4 weeks in our Placement City</i></div>
<br />
I was arrowed by Farah (Brunei) to share. I cited three points:<br />
<ol>
<li>That the Professional Fellows Program provided a great opportunity for me to experience work overseas. Some of us, in our professional paths, would not have had the chance to do so.</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
The 4-week journey had been extremely insightful. People looking from the outside might feel that the state of politics and democracy of US is messy. I cited <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-State-Capitol-Lincoln-Tomb-Having-Kids.html" target="_blank">the quote from a meeting with Executive Director Brad Cole of the Illinois Municipality League</a>, where "even with two persons, consensus can be hard to reach" that I felt summed up the need to appreciate the US politics and governance systems in a contextualised manner.<br />
<br />
Being able to visit the downtown side of Chicago, and the downtrodden part of it, had also added new frames and perspectives.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The extensive and high profile network of ACYPL alumni had also enriched our experiences, bringing us to insightful visits; meeting inspiring persons; and most importantly, getting us emplaced into prestigious organisations for our fellowship programme.</li>
</ol>

I had walked to office every day, and with the dense high-rise buildings within the Loop, my GPS signal often directed me off route.

Year Up Chicago runs a one-year, intensive training programme for youths aged 18 to 24 years old. The training programme imparts technical skills; professional skills such as networking and other soft skills; as well as internship with established organisations. Coaches conduct weekly reflection exercises with students and actively seek their feedback to enhance the programme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Year Up Chicago also provides wraparound services for its students who might be facing hardships. The programme also provides college credits, should students wished to continue pursuing their studies in college.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also asked Edward and Ana on the challenges that youths like themselves face, as well as the challenges faced by low-income families.</div>

<i>Lunched at Revival Food Hall</i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Revival Food Hall was a battleground. With 20 minutes for lunch, I hurriedly settled for the shortest queue line and found myself seated with Andrea, an anti money laundering expert, who shared briefly about money laundering and her work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I then headed to Metropolitan Family Services Learning and Wellness Center, which I <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-hamilton.html" target="_blank">visited in early May</a>, to meet Glenn Willoughby to learn from his perspectives as a beneficiary to Metropolitan Family Services programmes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Glenn is happily married with three children, all of whom are enrolled with the Learning and Wellness Center. He first came to know about the childcare services provided by Metropolitan Family Services through his brother who had also enrolled his son with the Center. Glenn volunteers actively with the Center, reading books to students and helping to clean up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Besides volunteering at Metropolitan Family Services, Glenn organises book fairs and distributes books for free to children. He also runs a Englewood Art Collection, to provide an outlet for youths to express themselves.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I asked him about his experience living in a precarious neighbourhood, especially as a parent to young children. Glenn shared that he used to live in Brownsville, where rental could work out to be USD 1,800 a month; as compared to USD 750 a month in Englewood, the community he is now at. He plans to use his savings to one day purchase his own property. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glenn and his wife are the only married couple in the block. He shared that it was important to be street-smart and conduct yourself appropriately. If you show respect to gang members, they would reciprocate that respect. However, he would not bring his children to play at the playground in the neighbourhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On segregation and gentrification, Glenn shared with me about this cool <a href="https://www.tonijphotography.com/projects/6836945" target="_blank">Folded Map Project</a>, which used photography to contrast the living environment of the North and South of Chicago City. He invited me to his community a decade later to see for myself how the community would transform, with developments bringing in services, which would result in higher property taxes and pushing residents who could not afford out to the suburbs. Many would end up having their properties put up on sale as dollar houses, which would be grabbed by property developers to hold on to and transact at a higher price later on.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I probed about the relationship between the community and police. Glenn shared that the struggle within the community is very real. There was resentment to police within the African American community and a constant fear of being pulled over by Police. Police officers could cite that they "smelled weed" or say "I feel threatened" and make an arrest, both of which would be difficult to prove otherwise in court.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I enquired about his family history. Glenn shared that in the 1980s, the use of crack and cocaine skyrocketed as they were new and <i>cool</i>. There was a lack of awareness of their harmful effects, and many households were destroyed, including his parents. A Christian Youth Center situated in a neighbouring White neighbourhood decided to cross over to the black neighbourhood he was living in to reach out and recruit youths. That was when he mixed with other White youths, went for trips and began to see the world as a larger neighbourhood. He saw the commonality between him and other White youths (they were poor and they had to do homework), and that they were not much different. The White neighbourhood was resistant to the church's engagement with black youths, so a van had to send them back home at night for safety reasons. He attributed his ability to dream big, due to his widened exposure.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glenn started off washing cars and worked hard, taking the chance to learn by asking questions. When there was a vacancy in the Service Consultant role, he applied for it and got it because he had been learning about the job role. That saw a massive jump in his earnings until he was laid off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Besides doing freelance photography, Glenn is also pursuing his studies in early childhood, sparked by the fact that there is a lack of black male teachers in the pre-school sector.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glenn shared that children from disadvantaged background are trying to survive, and it would be difficult for them to dream. They don't know that "I'm worth better", as they had never seen people who had lived in their full potential. Thus, it was important to instill self-confidence in them to let them want to achieve more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the 2-3 hours long conversation, I could not help but reflect the fact that we were of about the same age, but the experiences that we had to grow up with were so drastically different. There were moments where I got emotional, and I remembered telling Glenn that he should explore a career in motivational speaking.</div>

<i>With Glenn Willoughby, who gladly agreed for me to share the contents of our conversation</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glenn gave me a lift to the nearest subway station. During the drive, I shared that I had walked from the train station and almost reached the Learning and Wellness Center before being <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-hamilton.html" target="_blank">asked to get into the car by Cristy</a>. He concurred that the weather back then was still chilly. He would not advised doing it during a warm weather day like today. Sadly, gun violence incidents go up as the temperature goes up.</div>

<i>Aldis' theory on creating a profitable skyscraper:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>1) Office that gives up the most for light and air is the best investment;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>2) Second-class space costs as much to build and operate as first-class space. Therefore, build no second-class space;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>3) The parts every person entering see must make a lasting impression. Entrance, first floor lobby, elevator cabs, elevator service, public corridors, toilet rooms must be very good;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>4) Generally, office space should be about 24 feet deep from good light;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>5) Operating expenses must be constantly borne in mind. Use proper materials and details to simplify the work;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>6) Carefully consider and provide for changes in location of corridor doors, partitions, light, plumbing and telephones;</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>7) Arrange typical layout for intensive use. A large number of small tenants is more desirable than large space for large tenants</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>8) Upkeep of an office is most important. Janitor service must be of high quality, elevator operators of good personality. Management progressive.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At lunch, we met Aldermen Carl Evans and Bonny Mayfield, Chief of Staff Deb Waszak, Heads of Departments and staff of North Chicago City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We discussed on a wide range of topics and learnt more about the City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
North Chicago City is a full service municipality. Out of a population of about 30,000, about half are Navy personnel. The City is currently busy with the population census, which would determine the allocation of federal funding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The North Chicago City Council comprises 7 elected Aldermen, and led by Mayor Leon Rockingham Jr. The backgrounds of the current Council include a retired police, former Navy personnel, nurse, pastor, retired Army personnel. Some of the issues campaigned by Aldermen include public safety, taxes, and the economy. The City Clerk and City Treasurer are both elected positions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Chief of Staff and HR department negotiate with several unions, including the Illinois FOP Labor Council, International Association of Firefighters (IAFF), Service Employees International Union (SEIU) on collective agreements (<a href="https://www.northchicago.org/human_resources" target="_blank">which are published online</a>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of economy, North Chicago is home of Abbott, Jelly Belly, Dr Scholes and Abbvie. The long-term plans on the City are charted out in strategic and comprehensive plans of 20-50 years. The City has two Metra stations, and the City intends to enhance their aesthetics.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the challenges faced by North Chicago City include:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Pension</li>
<li>Economic Development - some buildings are not in productive use, and more could be done to enhance property value</li>
<li>With 39,000 Navy recruits graduating every week, the City could do more to attract and retain the visiting families within North Chicago City instead of having them be staying in hotels outside the City.</li>
<li>As a suburban community, youths who study in universities elsewhere rarely return. The City is looking at creating more entertainment outlets and better quality housing to retain residents.</li>
</ol>
<br />
In terms of gun violence, the City has fewer than 100 shootings annually.<br />

Had learnt about the Chicago Teachers' Union from Singapore Teachers' Union General Secretary Mike Thiruman. We were supposed to meet CTU leaders during our programme but due to unforeseen circumstances, it didn't quite work out. So when I happened to find out that Chicago Teachers' Union is holding a rally, I immediately signed up for it.</div>

The Rally's theme was "United for Our Contract, Our Schools." Chicago Teachers' Union represents teachers and allied teachers from the Chicago Public Schools. While in the case of <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/06/yseali-pfp-barrington-bedroom.html" target="_blank">Barrington</a> and other cities, the school district board is elected, in Chicago City, the Mayor appoints the board members. It has been a contention within some quarters who feel that an elected board would be more accountable and beneficial to overhauling the education system and schools.</div>

I would later learn that the rally was held as Mayor Lori Lightfoot was in a closed door discussion to chart "<a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/05/24/chgo-m24.html" target="_blank">forthcoming attacks on teachers and public education</a>".<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Interestingly, no teachers spoke during the Rally. Student, parent, allied teachers, fraternal partners all spoke in support of teachers. CTU actively cultivates its relationship with parents, and even organises parent and educator meet-up sessions to orientate parents on pre-school registration processes, etc.</div>

Walked to One Prudential Plaza for a meeting at the Chicago Federation of Labor. The meeting was made possible through my host Ric Estrada. During the <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/04/7-days-to-acypl-yseali.html" target="_blank">discussion with my host prior to the programme</a>, I had shared my interest to meet union leaders during my stay in Chicago as that would be relevant to my professional work.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I met with Bob Reiter, President, Chicago Federation of Labor and Don Villar, Secretary-Treasurer, Chicago Federation of Labor. Bob was formerly an Engineer from the building and construction sector, while Don was from the broadcasting sector. Both Bob and Don were formerly attorneys.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Learnt that there are about 28 unions in the construction sector, and the unions conduct collective bargaining at the industry level.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the challenges faced by CFL is managing the relations amongst affiliates, which might be contesting to organise in similar sectors.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As in all unions, the CFL supports pro-labour candidates in elections. It does so by seeking a two-third majority vote from its affiliates to endorse candidates. At times, as affiliates hold varying views on proposed candidates, there might not be a consensus. For instance, in the recent Mayoral election, CFL did not endorse a candidate. On hindsight, this probably placed CFL in a good neutral position, since there was a bitter contest between the current Mayor Lori Lightfoot and President of Cook County Board Toni Preckwinkle (who lost the elections), and CFL had to work with both Chicago City and Cook County in its jurisdiction. But in times when CFL affiliates could agree on backing a candidate, the candidate almost would have a sure-win at the polls.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of employment and employability initiatives, CFL runs job-ready programmes in high schools. The <a href="http://cflinitiative.org/" target="_blank">CFL Workforce & Community Initiative</a> "connects job seekers to employers by developing and strengthening skilled workers and making it easy for employers to find the right talent." CFL also runs a <a href="https://www.ctuf.org/grants/grantees/chicago-federation-of-labor/" target="_blank">Chicago Federation of Labor Workers Assistance Committee</a>, which runs several vocational programmes to enhance employability of jobseekers. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike in Singapore where there is a trade union of employers, the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), there is no equivalent body representing employers across Chicago. Hence, tripartism in Chicago's context meant CFL and unions working with employers at the individual industry level.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While CFL elections are held quadrennially, union elections generally are held triennially. Once elected as President and Secretary-Treasurer, the two full-time roles in the Executive Board, they would relinquish their positions with their unions. CFL has a lean team of 7 staff as its secretariat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Had lunch with my host Ric, and discussed the proposed follow-up programme for him in Singapore. Part of the <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/04/i-am-yseali-professional-fellow.html" target="_blank">ACYPL YSEALI Programme</a> entails a follow-up programme for the host of our fellowship organisations to visit our country to support the fellows in our projects. About 7 out of the 24 hosts would have a chance to travel to their fellows' countries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
During lunch, Ric also reviewed the fellowship programme and asked what other meetings I would like to have. I shared that I had a very comprehensive understanding of the various programmes, and that it would be great for me to hear from beneficiaries on the challenges they faced; as well as employability programmes which would be useful learning to me for my professional career. Ric would eventually work magic over the next few days for me to arrange meetings that achieved these.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
20 May was a significant day in the <i>herstory</i> of Chicago. Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot, the first African American female and first gay Mayor of the City. Chicago City would be the largest city in the US to have a female Mayor. Since our first week in Chicago, we had heard many people discussing about wishlists for the City as well as their anticipation for the Inauguration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other ACYPL YSEALI Professional Fellows were attending the Mayor's inauguration ceremony, and left early in the morning. I comforted myself by guessing that the inauguration should be captured on some YouTube videos which I could watch later on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was about to climb out of bed to prepare to go to work, when I received a text from my host, asking me to meet him in the office to go to the inauguration together. Wee! Within 15 minutes, I was out of the house!</div>
<br />
From Metropolitan Family Services, we took a taxi to WinTrust Arena.<br />

<i>Mayor Lori Lightfoot's inaugural address</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
Some snippets of her address (<a href="https://wgntv.com/2019/05/20/heres-the-full-text-of-chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoots-inauguration-speech/" target="_blank">click here for her full address in text</a>):<br />
<br />
"If not me, then who? If not now, then when?"<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quoting Gwendolyn Brooks, “We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mayor Lightfoot made reference to the 4 stars in the flag of Chicago, and shared her 4 key priority areas:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1) Safety in every neighbourhood</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Public safety should not be a commodity of the wealthy. A Mayor's Office for Public Safety headed by Deputy Mayor would be set up to address the issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2) Education</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Work with businesses and labour to ensure that youths are job ready when they graduate, and to develop a citywide workforce pipeline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3) Stability</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The need to get fiscal house in order; resolve pension debt issue; invest into neighbourhoods and solve housing issues.</div>
<br />
<b>4) Integrity</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Putting Chicago government and integrity in the same sentence is …well… a little strange."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"No official in the City of Chicago …elected or appointed… should ever profit from his or her office." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mayor announced that she would sign an executive order to end Aldermanic privilege (Aldermen had the power to decide on zoning and this had led to abuses of power and corruption) that afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Today …as we prepare to enter the third decade of the twenty first century… one out of every five children in Chicago still lives in poverty."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mayor Lightfoot's address struck a chord with many amongst the audience. This could be attributed to the efforts of the <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-reporting-to-work-at-metropolitan-family-services.html" target="_blank">Transition Committees'</a> inputs. </div>

As soon as we alighted from the taxi, we met a few students who were heading to the protest site. They passed us some t-shirts. The protest centred around the wage conditions of tipped workers. Tipped workers were given a subminimum wage of USD6.25 an hour as compared to the minimum wage of USD12 an hour for other workers. Tipped workers are defined by workers who customarily and regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips. Based on federal law, employers are obliged to ensure that wages for tipped workers and their tips collected amount to at least the minimum wage. ROC advocates for #1fairwage, which means one set of minimum wage to cover all workers, including tipped workers, regardless of the amount of tips received by them.<br />

When the demography of tipped workers is considered, one can understand the complexity of the issue. In Chicago, 54% of tipped workers are women. Women tipped workers earn 87 cents with every dollar their male counterparts receive, and 65 cents for every dollar their white male counterparts receive. 16% of tipped workers are black, and they earn 70 cents for every dollar their white counterparts receive. 41.7% of black tipped workers and 20.5% of women tipped workers access food stamps.</div>

I must have spent about over two hours chatting with Jacquie on trade unionism in one of her favourite dining place. This was my first Chinese cuisine in the United States. She was a survivor mum, a term used to refer to mothers whose child was a victim of gun violence. It was inspiring to learn about how she eventually chose to advocate for workers' rights as part of the labour movement.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We learnt about the <i>Emergency Rally to Save Reproductive Rights</i> via facebook events that our friends from Indivisible Chicago were attending, and decided to check it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The facebook event page detailed the event as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Across the country, reproductive rights are under attack. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Anti-abortion forces are committed to overturning Roe v Wade, assaulting reproductive rights, and banning abortion in many parts of the country. Measures this week in Georgia, Alabama and Missouri reflect this reality. Illinois can protect abortion rights by passing the Reproductive Health Act, but we need everyone to contact their state representatives and urge them to support this critical legislation. This is urgent. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
We are gathering in Federal Plaza to take a stand and declare that we won't go back. Join us in rallying support for the Reproductive Health Act. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="text-align: justify;">We were slightly late, and missed the speech by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle at Federal Plaza. But we were in time to see the protesters hitting the streets.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">In May 2019, Republican-majority Alabama Senate voted 25-6 to outlaw almost all kinds of abortions, except in situations when the mother’s life is in danger. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed the bill on 15 May 2019, making abortion a Class A felony, with doctors performing illegal abortion subjected to imprisonment of up to 99 years.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The move by several States to pass anti-abortion laws seemed to be provoking pro-choice supporters to trigger a review of the Roe v Wade case at the federal courts, giving a Republican-majority Supreme Court the chance to move towards a more pro-life position.</div>

I asked a protester who held up an image of the coat hanger, and learnt that it symbolised illegal abortion, as in the old days, people actually used the coat hanger to self-induce abortions. </div>

We managed to catch up with Marj and Denise who were busy debriefing the activists. It was amazing to learn that the emergency rally was only planned 4 days ago. The various organisations actually took 4 days to mobilise hundreds of Chicagoans to take to the streets at 5pm on a Monday! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was intrigued by how the entire rally was organised. Although the fact that pro-choice/pro-life matters are emotive to draw people to turn out in the numbers, the participating organisations' capacity to mobilise their supporters also depended on how they were continuously engaged. Participants were kept emotionally involved and charged up while they marched from Federal Plaza to Thompson Center, by chants and cheers. Thought-provoking placards, coat hanger symbols, and other creative messages added colour and vibrancy to the procession. The programme, speakers, songs, etc. </div>

Mayor Levi Boone raised the cost of a liquor licence by 600% to curb German beer-drinking culture and revived a law banning beer sales on Sundays. German and Irish immigrants protested in the 1855 Lager Beer Riot and made Mayor Boone a one term Mayor. Such is the power of beer as an organising and rallying cause!</div>

<i>"Engaging at close quarters - Naval combat in the age of sails was a matter of positioning. The advantage went to the captain who could bring the side of his ship close to the enemy and fire his cannons, while at the same time preventing the enemy from doing the same.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This was John Paul Jones' strategy when he engaged the British warship Serapis. For four hours the two ships fired at each other at close range. Early on, the riggings of the two ships became entangled. Jones took advantage of this by lashing the ships together to keep the British from pulling away. Within an hour the American ship had suffered so much hull damage that it began to sink.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Legend says Jones shouted out, "I have not yet begun to fight!" when asked by the British captain to surrender. For two more hours the crews fought with muskets, swords and small cannon. Then, by chance, a hand grenade thrown by an American sailor ignited gunpowder on the British ship, killing many of that ship's crew. The British surrendered soon after."</i></div>

<i> "Imposing naval superiority - The Union naval strategy had two objectives during the Civil War. The first was to isolate the Confederacy from Europe. The second was to gain control of the Mississippi River. A Union naval blockade around Southern ports stopped shipments of Southern cotton from reaching England, and shipments of guns, ammunition and food from reaching the South. Some Confederate blockade runners did get through but as the Union Army and Navy captured Southern ports, the Southern economy collapsed."</i></div>

<i>"The US Navy inducted Captain Daniel V. Gallery Jr to be the commander of the Hunter-Killer Task Group 22.3. He had the perfect background for the job.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>A native of Chicago, Gallery graduated from the United States Naval Academy and distinguished himself as a flier and a flight instructor. He proved himself to be ingenious, inspirational... and a fighter. For the first half of the war, he commanded seaplane bases in Scotland and Iceland responsible for patrolling the North Atlantic convoy lanes. His fliers sank six U-boats.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>In September 1943, Gallery returned to the US and was appointed commander of the USS Guadalcanal... which sank three German submarines."</i></div>

"<i>Attacking U-505 - On June 4, 1944 at 11:10am, the USS Chatelain reported a sonar contact and the Task Group jumped into action. The USS Guadalcanal could not attack without damaging itself so Captain Gallery moved the ship quickly out of harm's way. Supported by the Destroyer Escorts USS Pillsbury and USS Jenky, the USS Chatelain swiftly attacked. As the sonar crew maintained contact with the submerged U-505, the USS Chatelain's first attack was with a salvo of 24 hedgehogs that missed. While the USS Chatelain opened the range to turn and make another attack, two fighter planes from the USS Guadalcanal fired their guns into the water to help mark the location of the submerged U-505. The USS Chatelain then fired a pattern of 14 depth charges, eight of which were of the type you see here, forcing U-505 to the surface."</i></div>

Walked back to our corporate housing in a very chilly weather. Enjoyed the conversation with Yasmin on the way back. As the few parents in our ACYPL YSEALI Professional Fellows Program, we often discussed about our sons who were always on our minds.</div>

We made our way to Ogilvy Transportation Center in the morning to take the 1-hour Union Pacific Northwest Metra train ride towards Barrington. We checked the digital signboards, identified the terminal and since we were slightly early, we went to get our coffee. When we returned to the terminal, we were wondering where was the train. After a quick check, we realised there was a change in terminal! And so we rushed in to the train, just before it departed. What an adventurous start to a fine day!</div>

<br />
We had learnt about <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-State-Capitol-Lincoln-Tomb-Having-Kids.html" target="_blank">Illinois State Government</a>; <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-city-county.html" target="_blank">City and County government units</a>; as well as <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/06/yseali-pfp-on-the-table.html" target="_blank">Library District Boards and Mosquito Abatement Districts</a>. At Barrington, we got to double-click into some of these local government units, as well as learn about villages and townships.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barrington Unit School District 220 School Board has 7 elected Board members. The village of Barrington has a population of about 10,000. In recent elections, candidates required about 4,000 votes to win. The School Board represents the community in setting the goals and priorities of education in local schools, namely, in the areas of safety; technology in education; and negotiating with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BEA220.org/" target="_blank">Barrington Education Association</a> (the teachers' union in Barrington) on the union contracts for teachers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The School Board hires a Superintendent to implement its objectives. The Superintendent works with the School Principals work to translate the goals into actions. School District 220 serves schools in 10 cities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entry salary for teachers is about USD52K, regardless of the grades they teach. The union contract locks in a 3% annual increment. <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/06/yseali-pfp-day-20-chicago-history-art.html" target="_blank">Right-to-work laws</a> were not applicable to Barrington teachers, hence all teachers must join the Barrington Education Association upon employment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Located about 50km northwest of Chicago, Barrington is a bedroom community. Most residents work in the City of Chicago. In the morning, there are express trains that make the one-way commute duration at about 45 minutes. Since Barrington is largely residential, economic activities are limited, with schools being the largest employer. Other major employers include </span>Pepsico, Motorola, Sears and car dealers.</div>

After the campus tour, we had a meeting with Principal Dr Korb.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Countryside Elementary School is a National Blue Ribbon School, a status accorded by the US government to "honour schools that have achieved high levels of student achievement or made significant improvements in closing the achievement gap among student subgroups" (source: <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Blue_Ribbon_Schools_Program" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Relating to experiences in Singapore, I asked about the relationship between parents and teachers, especially assertive parents. Dr Korb shared that the school was honest and open to parents on what the school could or could not do. The school sets a common language in school and with parents, in terms of curriculum and students' behaviour. The Parent Teacher Organisation (PTO) actively partnered the school, most recently, in raising funds for an inclusive playground (Project Playground - Let's Play Together) so that students with special needs could also play together alongside their schoolmates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On homework, the school adopts an approach to reinforce what is covered in the day, instead of introducing new learning via homework. This is because students may not learn correctly, and the teacher will then have help the students unlearn the wrong facts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also discussed on the Chinese Immersion Programme. It initiated from a federal grant, but when the grant expired, parents formed a council and raised funds to continue the programme. </div>
<br />

<i>With <span style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Micah Korb, Principal, Countryside Elementary School</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Wendy shared about her involvement in lobbying for the "yes" vote in a <a href="https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190328/guest-column-the-case-for-barrington-dist-220s-referendum-question" target="_blank">referendum to raise taxes to purchase bonds to finance education</a>. 7,000 voted in the referendum. </span>The proposed raising of taxes did not succeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
The teacher - student ratio is about 1:21 in kindergarten, going up to 1:24 at 5th grade. 1:30 in middle school.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wendy drove us for a tour around Barrington High School. We observed the packed parking lot, and learnt that at age 15, one could already drive with parents in the car. From 16, they could drive independently. Grade 12 students could park in school.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several railroads cut across Barrington, and cause buildup of traffic. We pulled over with Canada National Rail ahead of us. The railroad links Canada to Mexico. We learnt that these trains could sometimes be pulling over 100 carriages!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We stopped over at a cafe and bought lunch for a lunch meeting at the Village Hall.</div>

<i>Housing Developments - most residential zones limit buildings to 3 storeys high</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Village of Barrington, has a board of 7 trustees, employs about 75 staff, in departments such as Communications; Economic Development (attracts investments and formulates revitalisation plans for downtown Barrington and development of town centre); Planning and Development (development of residential and commercial zones); Human Resources; Police and Fire. The Village also manages the Barrington White House, a cultural space for the community. Operating budget of the Village is about $15m. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Townships were established in the 1800s in Illinois, based on a 6 x 6 miles grid system to provide services for the local community. About a decade later, villages were set up to provide more services especially to the suburbs. Rural areas continued to be taken care of by townships.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Different Townships perform different roles. Cuba Township looks at roads; assesses property taxes and provides food pantry. On the other hand, the <a href="https://www.barringtontownship.com/" target="_blank">Barrington Township</a> does not look at roads; does not assess property taxes (in Cook County, Township Assessors do not assess property) but does provide food pantry for families in need. Barrington Village looks after fire and safety; maintenance and construction of roads and zoning. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were curious on why the Village was called a "Village" even though the area looked more developed than what one would imagine as a village. We learnt that "Villages" were formed usually at areas near creeks where people resided. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To spur economic development, the Village created a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District in a portion of the downtown. TIF Districts establishes a base value for all real estate in the District in the year of establishment. Other taxing districts, such as school districts and library districts, collects taxes from the properties in the District based on the base valuation. Increases in the property values are taxed at the same tax rate but all proceeds are remitted to the TIF District to improve it and lower the cost of development in the District.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I raised a question on what do Trustee candidates campaign about during elections. Candidates generally present their ideas on development of the Village, and are elected at large (i.e. not individually by wards, but by entire Village).</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the key infrastructure project was the construction of underground roads to allow vehicles to bypass the railroads. The underground roads would improve traffic for residents and enhance response time from safety and rescue vehicles. Costing USD75m, the Village had already taken more than a decade to secure the necessary grants. </div>

We stopped over at Norton’s USA store, which sells unique items all made in the USA. We learnt from the shop staff that the store was started by a celebrity who was not able to find things made in the USA, and decided to set up a store to sell US made products only. We also learnt that she is a resident of Barrington!</div>

We were hosted to lunch and had the chance to dialogue with staff handling the various programmes. Roxanne was helpful in inviting them to share personal stories and impact of their work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Denise and Nowami shared about their work in preventing substance abuse, through youth practice. They work with youth advisory committees in Chicago Public Schools to empower youths to impact the community. They also run family workshops and educate youths in opioid and marijuana prevention. I asked about the challenges with the impending bid to legalise marijuana, to which they shared that efforts have been made to step up the awareness of the harmful effects of marijuana.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On domestic violence work, Metropolitan Family Services works with young children to teenagers on maintaining healthy relationships; provides a safe place and conducts psychoeducation. Victims of domestic violence could sometimes be oblivious about their plight and upon conversations with case workers, realised that they were subjected to domestic violence. Staff also work with victims to develop safety plans, such as saving help numbers under a different contact name in their phone address books.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On adoption preservation, Metropolitan Family Services organises Family Night events to build social capital among adopted families. In these events, it ensures that there are a separate activities that cater to the parents, teens and children. There are individual therapy sessions for adopted children and adolescents from 5 to 17 years old, as well as family therapy sessions.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jasline and Veronica shared about their work in enhancing mental health for families, especially zooming in on mental health of children, infants up to age 5 years old. Parents are guided on how to soothe their stressed children, as observed from their facial expression and tone. I was particularly curious about the identification of depression in babies. They shared that babies who were suffering from depression might not be responsive to cues. Metropolitan Family Services also conducts home-based programmes, promote maternal mental health as well as conduct child-parent psychotherapy sessions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a separate programme, Metropolitan Family Services staff conduct weekly home visits to first-time Mums, to provide them support and prepare them for motherhood. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alexis Greathouse, Site Director for Metropolitan Family Services North Children's Center shared that educators also conduct general observation in class to identify children who might be affected by mental health issues. She also shared that the North Children's Center provides all year round childcare services to 2 to 5-year-olds from low-income households.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Joyce, a support staff, shared her experience interacting with clients and registering them when they enter the premises. Each staff plays a part in ensuring a positive and empowering experience for </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roxanne was formerly from the private sector and used to work with entrepreneurs. She shared she found meaning in what Metropolitan Family Services is doing, which is to resolve things that are holding people back from what they could otherwise do. It's not about "we" and "them", because at the end of the day we are all the same. It's just that some might lack the information to get to the next destination.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After lunch, Roxanne brought me around to introduce to staff which were not able to join us for lunch. Truly appreciate the time and effort. It must have taken us about 1-2 more hours. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Made a request to learn about how Financial Opportunities Centers (FOC) help job seekers in employment and employability, so Cristy managed to slot me for a visit to Metropolitan Family Services FOC at Kennedy-King College, a public community college. A community college provides vocational education and college transfer academic programmes. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had the chance to meet staff, one after another, who were working on various programmes available at the FOC. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FOC runs a free Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) Training Program for job seekers who are keen to take up a career in the medical field. In the publicity leaflet, it mentioned that the sector had "29 percent job growth over the next 8 years" and the certification would allow one to work in "medical offices: dental, nursing, homes, rehabilitation centers, etc." Understand that the starting salary would be in the range of USD30,000 and above.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The CMAA Training Program lasts 14 weeks, and training includes areas such as soft skills, vocational training, digital literacy, and medical classes. Participants earn a stipend at various intervals of the training. Upon completion, they sit for the certification test by the National Healthcare Association. Participants are mainly high school students who do not intend to further their education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FOC provides a bundled/wrap-around service for job seekers as well. Clients also gain access to the whole suite of support services from Metropolitan Family Services. For instance, clients could get free clothing to attend to job interviews, and childcare services could be facilitated. Metropolitan Family Services follows up with clients up to 5 years from the point they get employed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A career coach shared that her role was to be with the client from the beginning, to understand what motivates the client and to visit the client at his/her workplace to find out how he/she is settling in. Job seekers usually start with a 2-week job readiness programme. Employers are invited to share their experience in hiring with participants of this programme. The career coach helps the client to get his/her support group (e.g. family) ready for his/her employment; and works with second-chance employers to hire job seekers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Charise Flowers shared about the Families in Transition (FIT) programme. Beneficiaries of the programme are referred to Metropolitan Family Services by Chicago Public Schools. They could be low-income households; broken families or any other displaced families. Charise conducts monthly house visits to the beneficiaries, and organises quarterly life-skill workshops to assist the beneficiaries to reach their goals. Metropolitan Family Services also assists in housing issues, i.e. liaising with landlords.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dominic shared about his role as a Communities Partnering for Peace (CP4P) Career Coach. Outreach workers may refer former gang members to participate in the 2-week job readiness training. After that, they could either 1) sign up for a 14-week programme to be accredited in the construction sector; 2) undergo General Education Diploma (GED); or 3) 14-week programme at Chicago Food Depository to obtain the ServSafe food handling Certificate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each of the staff who sat down with Cristy and I shared passionately about their work. I quipped that it was an irony that the people, who are helping others gain employment, can lose theirs any time when the state/city funding for the programme ceases.</div>

We were greeted by the bubbly Paris Ervin, Director of Communications, Illinois State Treasurer's Office, whom we met <a href="http://furykid.blogspot.com/2019/05/yseali-pfp-State-Capitol-Lincoln-Tomb-Having-Kids.html" target="_blank">when we visited Illinois State Capitol</a>, before entering the Treasurer's Office.</div>

Treasurer Michael Frerichs, an alumnus of ACYPL, shared with us how he decided to run for the Treasurer's Office, and how he had expanded the role of the Treasurer's Office during his term. He shared some of the challenges of the State, which include balancing the needs of the urban and rural communities. We also learnt that he could speak Mandarin conversantly!</div>

We met Chris Meyers, President, Chicago Young Republicans and learnt more about the structure of the Republican Party and how messages were cascaded from the Republican National Committee to the grassroots activists. We also spoke about the fundamental beliefs of Republicans, namely, the view that government should be kept small and confined to diplomacy and defence, while leaving other matters to the local governments.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then we walked over to Clover Sports & Leisure at 722 W Grand Avenue, where the Chicago Young Republicans was holding its regular Happy Hour gathering.</div>

Met a Republican who quipped that the best to the left go to politics, while the best to the right go to work. Also met an African American Republican and learnt his reasons in affiliating himself with the Reds. It was great to be able to learn the perspectives and opinions of Americans from both ends of the spectrum.</div>
