Parliament is where national issues are debated and policies take shape. Next month, several young Singaporeans will get their chance to try this in the Singapore Model Parliament! They will be playing the roles of MPs from ruling party and opposition, as well as NCMPs and NMPs, to draft, debate and vote on mock Bills.
Singapore Parliamentary debates tend to be less theatrical than in some other countries, which is as it should be. So it is good to see young Singaporeans taking an interest in our legislature and how laws are passed. It certainly helps that for the first time the SMP is being held in Parliament House, for an ‘authentic’ experience. :)
Incidentally, Parliament recently launched their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeParliament/). Do give them a Like! – LHL
