Words of inspiration for SMU graduates

SMU’s Class of 2020 celebrated its graduation yesterday amid the Covid-19 pandemic. In a pre-recorded speech, Defence Minister, Dr Ng Eng Hen said that he is aware of the apprehension and anxieties faced by graduating students. However, he is confident that the skills and values that SMU has imparted to its graduates will see them through this crisis. In his speech to the graduands, Minister of Education Ong Ye Kung [who has been newly appointed as Minister of Transport] noted that it is an exceptional time to graduate. He said that though this may be a time when many may feel hopeless, it can also be a time of many opportunities.
