Students, Chan Chun Sing share thoughts on social responsibility

Some 300 students from secondary schools and tertiary institutions gathered at SMU on Saturday to share their thoughts on social responsibility and community service. The event is part of a learning symposium organised by the SMU. Among the topics discussed at the symposium were filial piety, being less self-centred and not taking family for granted. Student participants welcomed the thought-provoking session. SMU student Stacie Henson said: "We need to find something that we truly feel passionate about and something that interests us, because if we don't have that interest then we won't go back and serve the community. And it will be fruitless, because we always say community service is just about the hours and giving back to community is subject to what I'll get in school, maybe a point in my CCA or couple of hours in my community service record."
