Went to Expo Hall 4 today for the first ever Youth Peace Symposium organised by SSA.
Quite proud to be a Soka member honestly.
It was a really interesting and meaningful event. Especially to hear from representatives from different religions, Baha’i, Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholic and Sikhism (I enjoyed the speech by the Sikh representative the most). I thought this was a very good event for youths to learn more about the different religious beliefs and all in a more relaxed kind of way.
Saw Benjamin Hum, Wei Fen, Shini, Chui Ling and Kiwi. Had dinner with my sis and Yun Fong after that at Pasir Ris and walked around White Sands a bit.
Channel News Asia was there too: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/335354/1/.html
