"University life itself will provide many opportunities to hone your leadership skills. Mr Puah You Kai, a Year 2 Local Teaching Scholar, assumed the role of organizing Chairman for the Singapore Model United Nations 2009, an undergraduate-run conference for over 300 participants aged 17 years and above. At this conference, participants role-played country ambassadors and debated real-life global issues. Besides You Kai, four other Teaching Scholars were in the Organising Committee, Ms Ngiam Jing Zhi, Ms Charmaine Tay Mei Xian, Ms Rachel Kwan and Mr Kwok Yi Jun. I encourage our teaching scholars and award holders to participate in and benefit fully from these activities."
