SMU's character development programme laudable

SMU’s initiative in introducing a values-based programme to advance character development among its students was applauded by Singapore Kindness Movement Chairman Koh Poh Tiong in a forum letter. He thought it showed that the university places emphasis on the learning journey as much as the end result itself and is dedicated to moulding desirable traits in their students beyond just academic excellence. He added that SMU's innovative proposal is an interesting and ground-breaking way of encouraging students to reflect upon their actions and purposes, and to re-examine the assumptions and beliefs they adhere to.
