Adviser's Message

Dear friends from the Jurong Spring Youth Club,

Please join me in congratulating and thanking the Chairman and members of our 11^th YEC for a job well done, and for their hard work and contribution to the activities of Jurong Spring Community Club over the past 2 years. During their term, they worked closely with other grassroots organisations to organise community activities such as the Children’s Christmas Party, the Jurong Spring CC Open House, the Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations, and durian tours, among many others. They have also set up Interest Groups such as balloon sculpturing and K Pop dance.

The PA Youth Movement (and by extension every YEC) plays an important part in nation building and community bonding. It has four key functions: (1) to promote social cohesiveness, national consciousness and national pride among our young people; (2) to channel youth energies to constructive pursuits; (3) to foster leadership qualities and organising abilities among our youth; and (4) to promote friendship and understanding among youth at national and international levels.

I have met many young Singaporeans over the past few months who are keen to serve the less fortunate in Jurong Spring. There are equally many youth who have constructive and thoughtful ideas, not only about improving our living environment, but also about policies that can better the lives of all Singaporeans.

I encourage the incoming 12^th YEC to tap this spring of energy and imagination to achieve 3 objectives: (1) to serve the less fortunate in our community with compassion and quiet dedication, (2) to organise programmes and activities that can help our residents and our youth better themselves and strengthen body and mind, and (3) to give our youth an effective channel to express themselves actively and constructively.  

I look forward to working with you, side by side, to build a better Jurong Spring.

Best wishes,

Desmond
