SINGAPORE : Some 150
youths on Friday got a rare chance to engage Singapore Prime Minister
Lee Hsien Loong on issues close to their hearts.
Held fittingly
at youth park *SCAPE, the closed-door session saw youths, aged between
17 and 35, discussing the theme "Youths Inspired".
Organised by
the National Youth Council, the dialogue, which lasted one and a half
hours, was an opportunity for young Singaporeans to share with Mr Lee
their dreams, inspirations and challenges they faced.
Topics
covered areas such as the economy, society, people and the future.

Don't think I've ever seen a 35 year old "youth" before.
They shuld have more such activities.
To know what the pple want.
youths?????pm hould be talking to working citizens and not youths......why youths?cuz they are the least subjected to the nonsense of political failures and policy from workplace,low salary....and bleak future in spore even though with high education.
or maybe if he gets clobbered by a 35 year old he can jail the "youth" or kid that everyone thinks youth hasnt seen the world and does things on impulse.
They should also have dialogue with the mature working adults too.
They should also have dialogue with families too.
The more dialogue they have (with different age group), they more true down to earth feedback they received. Just relying solely on facts and figures will be distorted from any judgement or planning.
tok so much also won;t change my votes. sg cannot always rely on our 'people' what's more our 'people' are actually cheapo floor traps. no hope.
A few days ago, I watch (repeat telecast U channel) show about family run down home, it show 2 brothers (mild and slow learner) with their aged father who suffer from some kind of old illness. And they dont even have the money to have 3 meals and their home very dirty. Their mother pass away long long time ago.
After watching this show, I have been thinking why so many this cases unresolved? I mean why no help from the govt? And instead show all happy faces in the tv with new homes?
In fact, there are many sporean out there really need govt help. But then govt do nothing about it.

In life it is not how much good you do; it is how less evil you commit.
Many love to pay pittance esp the high and mighty. To me that is not care but hypocrisy.
All is useless, unless you are rich, nothing works, just take a look at those rich living it up and the government forcing us to open our legs and backsides for foreigners to scrw, we are doomed, also we ourselves got no pride, no unity and no one including me got the guts to scrw the government, where got use, we've seen all these talking before, where got use? If you got money, good loh, if you got talent and young, emigrate lah, if you old and no talent, die loh.
waste time lah............150 people asking mickey mouse questions and getting donald duck answers.....
or is it 150 people sucking up to LKY's sonny............behind closed doors..............

brudder............you can be sure as hell PAP knows what people want...............just that they don't care........
they only concerned about their own fat salaries...........
Yes, they know that there are lots of pple in a poor living conditions and need helps, but why bother about them??
Maybe pap already know it, but remain silent?
Or waiting for someone to come forward to donate to the family? Where money /cost concern, dont bother pap??

He needed a closed door session to explain to the youths about his open door policy of allowing anybody and everybody into the country.
