What took place
Mr
Eddie Teo, Permanent Secretary (Prime Minister's
Office) spoke to about 100 grassroots leaders
about the S21 vision and how Singaporeans could
respond to it (read
speech).
During the Q&A session, participants raised questions
concerning the difficulties that less-educated
Singaporeans face in marrying foreigners. They
also discussed why Singaporeans were starting
families later, how family ties could be strengthened,
and the need to broaden the definition of success
beyond academic and economic achievements. The
participants later broke up into smaller groups
to discuss possible S21 initiatives within their
constituency.
