At the Education Awards ceremony this weekend, I met this young man from Republic Polytechnic who lovingly held his mother who had some walking issues. Didn’t look embarrassed or uncool. I gave them a car ride because we both went to the wrong CC venue. In my books, his character is even more precious than all the academic achievements he has collected. Mighty proud of him and all the young people like him.

Thank you too to all who turned up and the Singapore Association for Mental Health team who shared on emotional resilience.
