Youth Day Singapore


Last night, over the dinner table, I informed everyone that I had taken the day off today.

Mom goes, “Why?”

“Because I’ve not taken any leave for a while, and I need a break.”

“It’s Youth Day, you know.” My mom knows this because she is a tuition teacher.

“Erm, no I didn’t know. I didn’t choose it because it’s Youth Day lah.”

The boys’ and girls’ 4x100m relay teams also recorded podium finishes. The girls’ quartet of Veronica Shanti Pereira, Jannah Wong, Eugenia Tan and Ruelia Nesaranjini finished over a second behind Thailand in second place, but their time of 47.70 seconds compares extremely favourably with the national junior record of 47.58 seconds.

Leading the Optimist Gold fleet is 12 year old Ryan Lo from Tao Nan School who has sailed a consistent regatta so far winning five out of eight races. Andrew Tang (Raffles Institution) trails him by four points in second position followed by Kimberly Ng (Tanjong Katong Girls’ School) in third.

The youth will join cooperative when cooperatives are professionalize in their working, he said. The training and education part of cooperative movement should be in tune with the change of time and should not confined to old ways of doing, said Shri Tiwari.


I asked the youth to submit questions that I could then answer next Saturday. I wanted them to stick to my specialty–Bible translation. Some did, but others asked more general questions. But by far, my favorite question is this: “How can young people like us be involved in the work of Bible translation?” I don’t think I’ll have any problem answering that question! But pray for wisdom as I think about how best to answer all the questions.

I wanted to start my own business - something that could positively influence young people, who are especially influenced by media,” Lin told CNS from San Rafael, California. “I was talking to my parents. And my dad, who actually grew up in Japan, asked me, ‘How come there’s no biblical manga?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s right.
