Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has urged youths to look within themselves and follow their talents in deciding their career paths, stressing that the Government will provide more opportunities for Singaporeans to pursue their diverse aspirations and their own definitions of success. Mr Wong was addressing about 900 students from institutes of higher learning at the event held at SMU on 2 July evening. At the event jointly organised by SMU, the Institute of Policy Studies and Varsity Voices, a student-led inter-university political awareness group, Mr Wong said that everyone must do their part to "contribute to a better society" if Singapore is to move forward. In the question-and-answer segment with Mr Wong following his speech moderated by SMU President Professor Lily Kong, students lined up in waves to pose their questions to the Prime Minister. They encompassed a broad range of topics including housing concerns, social mobility and economic policies. The segment kicked off with a question by Prof Kong on what skills young people should develop for the future. In response, Mr Wong said that youths should think about "mega trends" that will permeate global discourse over the coming years and ride on them.
