Honoured to be serving on the 12th COMPASS (COMmunity and PArents in Support of Schools) Council whose role is to advise the MOE on ways in which school-home-community collaboration could be strengthened and promoted. When I first received the invite, I accepted it without any hesitation because admittedly, education is an area that holds diverse opinions among parents in Singapore. And it is something I want to make a difference in as well.
The first meeting I participated in already gave me a glimpse of the mammoth task that is front of us. There're no easy answers, only more questions but what I would like to see is more support being offered to parents of secondary school children. Parenting younger kids is okay but once they become teens and go to secondary schools, that's when everything starts to become challenging - studies, friends, BGR, screentime, stress, acceptance, bullying... It's endless. Not only do the teens need help, but I suspect parents need help too. So I would like to see how we can better engage the parents and support them in their parenting journey. And of course, more needs to be done in the areas of mental wellness among students too.
If you have any constructive suggestions along the way, I will love to hear them too! Let's work together for the sake of our kids' future education. 😊

AMWRRO’s 24 hour emergency wildlife hospital has again been opened to assist with the mammoth task of helping the Adelaide Hills bush fire victims.
Our specialist team of veterinarians and operational crew last night accepted 5 critical Koalas that required immediate treatment.
These critical patients were admitted via a full general anaesthetic, body and burns assessment, treatment of wounds, placed on I.V. fluids for severe dehydration and provided much needed pain relief and antibiotics.
These animals will require ongoing treatment for several weeks if not months due to their condition and severity of wounds.
To support the AMWRRO wildlife hospital please donate today by following this link

All donations are tax deductible and all funds raise will assist our native animals in need of assistance.
mammoth task 在 Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman Facebook 的最佳解答
For many years, the stigma on Islamic Nations have always been "Archaic" "Oppressive" and "Backward". But the world has changed, Islamic Nations need to change and youth is the most important engine to effect such change.
I had the privilege to work together with some of the most brilliant youth leaders of Islamic Nations. Their enthusiasm and spirit to improve the state of Islamic Nations is definitely inspiring. They brought forth the high level resolutions from the Youth KL Summit and all the resolutions beautifully reflect the creative and proactive mindset of youths.
One of the more radical and groundbreaking suggestions is to establish Ministry of Future Advancement & Human Governance that provide foresights and megatrends of all minitries. This ministry has to be led by an apolitical youth - a symbol of the way forward. Where it is no longer about which party you're from but what you represent! They discussed about focusing on TVET & creating a network of entrepreneurs to ensure that the Ummah can also give birth to our very own tech Unicorns & Decacorns.
These resolutions among others will not materialize without the strong, capable people who made this summit possible. They were given this mammoth task to gather over 200 youth leaders from 22 countries in less than 10 days ago. An impossible task if not for sheer determination and the drive to ensure youth voice is heard to revive the glory of Islamic civilization.
Kudos to Adam Mukhriz, Amira Aisya and Ulya Aqamah and the whole team for bringing the youth voice together. In the same way as Tun, I pledge that I will ensure that the resolutions discussed will not be put to waste.
Together, we can revive the glory of Islamic civilization which is about development & COMPASSION, and return back the power of the future back into the hands of the people.
