Young Singaporeans to watch: Class act
As a year of disruption and upheaval draws to a close, there are some who show that tough times can bring out the best in Singaporeans. The Straits Times is celebrating young change-makers from diverse backgrounds and disparate fields who deserve recognition for their achievements and daring. While some in these 30 profiles are already household names, many are relative unknowns who have dedicated themselves to a cause - be it charting new ground in the arts or civil society, or building something new as entrepreneurs. Clara Chong and Clement Yong spotlight these rising stars who not only had big dreams but also took the leap to act on them, and hope they will inspire more readers to action.
