WP's Pritam Singh shares advice to those in limbo over lower-than-expected PSLE score
The Workers’ Party (WP) chief and Leader of the Opposition (LO) Pritam Singh took to his Facebook on Tuesday (8 Dec) to share a valuable advice to students who are in a period of uncertainty due to their lower-than-expected academic achievement.
According to Mr Singh, a resident who goes by the name Sanisah - whom he met at his Meet-the-People session (MPS) on Monday night (7 Dec) - shared that her daughter wasn’t exactly the happiest over her PSLE score.
At Ms Sanisah's request during their encounter, he recorded a short video message dedicated to her daughter, reminding her "to keep her chin up" so as to overcome her apprehensions.
In his post, Mr Singh then gave a pep talk to anyone who are in limbo because of their PSLE results.
"As I learn and experience everyday, the world of tomorrow will be very different from that of our parents. One dimensional; repetitive and routine work will be replaced with AI [artificial intelligence] and new technology," he wrote.
Mr Singh went on to say that the world of tomorrow will call for the worker of tomorrow, where a masterful combination of hard and soft skills is the more sought-after pursuit than high PSLE score.
"There will be more opportunities to chase that in the years to come. Seize them, even as the competition intensifies. And never underestimate yourself. You drive your own destiny," he added.
