“You are never too young (or too old) to contribute and serve the community around you.”

When did it all begin?

It all began in 2006, after my National Service. I joined the party on the day I ORDed.

It was something I always wanted to do because for the longest time, I had always been interested in history and politics and I think public service is something that’s commendable. So I thought, why not?

Do you think more young people should be involved in politics?

Of course! In fact, I think the best time for someone to be in politics is when he’s young. You are never too young (or too old) to contribute and serve the community around you. Political work is a very interesting and humbling learning experience. I spent nearly ten years of my youth in the Workers’ Party being of service to others. I have to say, you got to try it to see the positive influence in your life.
