What Singaporeans can do to refresh our social compact

“Each of us should be curious enough to continuously learn and take initiative to share knowledge with our communities. Host seminars, interest groups, brown bag sessions. You'll never know when an interest can develop into a useful skillset.”

“Continuous upskilling opportunities are crucial. My work requires me to be constantly updated on technologies. While individuals should be self-motivated, companies should also support workers and provide training opportunities.”

My way of making a difference

“As a bursary recipient for my education, I’ve benefited from the community and I’m now committed to giving back. Apart from doing good, volunteer work can be fun. Such activities keep me going.”
