Many Singaporeans have the habit of pushing responsibilities and blames to our government whenever something went wrong, and they often fail to realise that we have what we have today is because of the effort of our leaders and undeniably, Singapore has one of the most efficient governments in the world.
I was privileged to be able to participate in the Induction Programme for New Grassroots Leaders (IPNGL) which was organised by NACLI on 17th Jan 2014. The most beneficial activity for me was the table conversations. We were asked to go tothree different tables to carry out discussions on three different topics regarding community services and what it meant to be a grassroots leader. This gives me the opportunities to hear from other grassroots leaders from all walks of life and it gives me inspirations for different projects to initiate for the residents in West Coast.
The other activity I liked was the visit to the Grassroots Heritage Centre in NACLI where we saw how PA W
was formed and how it had grown over the years. The PA mission would always be "bringing people together", but its methodologies have evolved over the years to cater to the changing profiles of the people. I am very proud to be part of it now to serve the community and will strive on to bring people together.
