Attending Moot Parliament Programme (Singapore)

In the first half of 2024, I was given the opportunity to take part in an MOE Gifted Education Branch (GEB) Special Program called the Moot Parliament Programme. In this prestigious programme, I was provided with a 6-month mentorship attachment that offers insights into how public policies are passed in Singapore and how to craft legislative bills under the guidance of expert mentors from the legal profession. Throughout MPP, I served as ACS(I) Team 1 Leader, and led my group to draft the “Public Order (Amendment) Act”.

Looking back on the programme, I have truly gained valuable insights regarding how the Singapore parliamentary system functions. At the same time, being able to interact with both like-minded peers and experienced lawyers provides me with a diverse range of perspectives to understand the process of crafting a legislative bill.
