2 NYP Scholars

We would like to congratulate both Colin and Jun Yao for being awarded the NYP scholarship. Both have definitely done well to deserve this scholarship. OLT catches up with Colin on his thoughts on being awarded the scholarship.

I would first like to say a big “Thank You” to the school - thank you for the caring lecturers and mentors, for the quality education and the good facilities. I’m extremely grateful to receive the NYP scholarship. Across the past 2 years, it’s been an amazing journey for me – actively participating in competitions and accomplishing some extent of success in some; starting up a club, excelling in studies and fostering meaningful friendships with my peers. I’m thankful for the scholarship as it will help me financially and better focus on achieving the goals and championing the ‘innovative’ spirit of NYP. Thank you NYP!

National Poly Forum

OLT catches up with Li Jwee on his experiences at the National Poly Forum.
National Poly Forum has been an eye opening experience. I was exposed to the various social and economical affairs that we Singaporean are concerned about and the various challenges that we may face 20 years down the road.
Having speakers from various fields sharing their viewpoints has shed light upon certain issues that allow me to view events from a different perspective. For example, in the past I wasn’t able to comprehend the actions of the government to extend the withdrawal of CPF fund to a later age with the requirement to top up the existing amount they have. After going through the forum, I’m gradually able to understand the rationale behind these decision made by the Singapore Government.
The poly forum has served as a platform where young people from the various polys come together to share their ideas for a better future. Not only has it allowed us to voice our opinions but also helped us to forge a greater sense of ownership in Singapore.
I am most impressed by the facilitators from the various polytechnics. They were both knowledgeable and engaging. They have inspired most of us, allowing us to think deeper into the various issues rather than just dictating what needs to be done.
Apart from the forum’s activities, the bonds forged during the entire forum was most memorable! The chance to interact with people and students from various backgrounds has broadened my horizon. There was much stuff I can learn from these great people! Even with the end of the polytechnic forum, we are still pretty much in contact with everyone. To sum it up, the lessons I have learned from this forum is not to be complacent and that we should always seek for improvements to stay relevant. I feel that all students should have such a chance to attend events like this. The overall experience for this forum for me was FANTASTIC!
