Singapore Democrats

Frederique Soh

My fellow Young Democrat, Ms Solange Chee, and I recently attended a seminar in Belgrade, Serbia, where activists gathered to learn about the values of Liberalism and how they influenced societies around the world.

It was also an opportunity to learn from each other in our struggles to bring about democratic change to our countries. The seminar also discussed global youth unemployment and related subjects like the Arab Spring Revolution.

The Young Democrats attended the annual congress of the Parti KeAdilan Rakyat in JB where leaders spoke on readying the party for the general elections expected to be called in Mäsia soon.

The Young Democrats of the SDP will commemorate this occasion in Singapore with an event entitled “YOUth as Singaporean”.

The YDs pledge to put in our best in order to give the electorate what they have been clamouring for all these years: A well-managed and effective electoral campaign worthy of their votes.

Throughout history youths have been at the forefront of change. The fall of the dictatorships in Central Europe to Asia to Latin America were often precipitated by students who dared to speak up against the regimes that shackled them.
