My Son, Pranjal’s 5-member team from NUS High School gets their bill “passed” in Singapore Moot Parliament (First Prize in Written Bill).
25 teams from Secondary 3 & 4 (class 9 & 10) from a number of secondary schools made it to the Parliament House on Thursday, 17th Aug 2023. While the 12-page bill from Pranjal’s team passed without debate, some others were contested and a parliamentary debate ensued in the presence of the Deputy Clerk of Parliament (Singapore), professors from NUS law school and other distinguished guests.
Gifted Education Branch of Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore organizes it “to develop students’ interest in parliamentary legislation and develop active citizenry”.
Thank you MOE, NUS Faculty of Law, NUS High School (and other secondary schools), all lawyers and mentors who prepared the students for months on the intricacies of parliamentary legislation.
Singapore is a little dot in the heart of Asia that depends on others even for water. Devoid of natural resources, the only thing that Singapore is left with is her 5-million population. That leaves no option but to nurture them so that they are well-equipped to make the best use of Singapore’s strategic location for her survival and prosperity.
