Committee of Supply 2021 debate, Day 4: Eric Chua on changing society's mindset about youth success

It is high time to recognise that every youth has potential and potential should not be defined narrowly in terms of academic achievements, said Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth Eric Chua. He asked in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 3): "How can we as a society change our mindsets about how success is defined and how one gets there? How can we as a society dump our deep-seated biases and start looking at our youths with a pair of untinted lenses?" He added that Singapore youths must be empowered to be the best versions of themselves.
