On 14, 15 and 21 October 2023, SP Debates sent Don, Moe Myint, Sid and Wesley to represent the club at Singapore Model Parliament organised by . The members had a blast attending dialogue sessions and workshops where they learnt about the policymaking process and its tradeoffs. We are extremely grateful for the chance to not only gain valuable insights, but to also form bonds with like-minded youths from various other tertiary institutions. Thank you to the organisers and fellow participants for the experience. Swipe to see the photos from each day!

Rinne (me), as our Director of Outreach, is the individual responsible for painstakingly thinking up an interesting bio for each and every one of the EXCO. A weeb through and through, you'll find her at conventions drooling over cosplay and collecting (borderline inappropriate) t-shirts. She also enjoys photography, a hobby that she won't let you forget about on her Instagram page. As such, we're so proud to present our Director of Outreach: Rinne!

Sid is probably the most extroverted member of the exco: he bounces up to members where he then regales friends, acquaintances and strangers alike with stories of culture (“So because you know, I’m Indian, right…”), football and memes. He frequently inquires about others well-being and goes out of his way to catch up with them on how they’re doing. He never seems to get tired, still excitedly chatting even at 10pm when conversations begin to wind down. We think he’ll make friends with you too, thus we present our Director of Welfare: Sid the (not) Science Kid.
