Today is the long awaited PAYM Policy Forum @ Ang Mo Kio GRC. Finally after many months of planning. For does of you who do not those what is this, is actually a Forum organised by the Youth Executive Groups from different CC in AMK GRCs. We will invite Youth from 21 to 35 to come together to express their way on certain topics and issues.
The topic is Arrival of the Stork - Bliss or Woe?. It is mainly touching on the recent low birth rate in Singapore and provide responses on whether the policies are helping a not. It is quite an exciting and interesting experience .... I am selected as one of the three faciliators for the breaking up discussion groups. It is really interesting to talk to different people in my group and most of them are really active in expressing their way.
After that, we invite three panelists in to take the Forum proper. They are Dr Helen Chen, Psychiatrist from KK hospital; Ms Chong Cheh Hoon, Vice-President (Content) from Family Focus and Dr Lam Pin Min, MP.
All of them give us an interesting view about this issue and I feel that Ms Chong's explanation is the best. I will write some interesting point. She says that the reason why Generation Y (which is us) are not getting married is because there is a mind-set change and egotist. They don't want to listen to Generation X (which is our parents) on any issues. This generation is very brand caution and they prefer self-fulfillment. Any answers, they just for it on the internet.
Straight away after this, we went straight into Q & A about this topics. At first is a bit slow, but it started to pick up.
In end with a good note and we all enjoy ourselves with dinner and a group photo. Below is the poster designed by my Youth Group member, Agnotti and also my official pass....haha!!
To be continued.....
