90 Youth Attended The PAYM Policy Forum On New Media On 18 April @ National Museum

90 youth spent their afternoon at the National Museum, The Salon, on 18 April (Sat) from 1.30pm to 5.30pm and attended the PAYM Policy Forum on New Media: Can the internet be self -regulated? This event was brought to you by 9 YECs, including Kampong Glam YEC, in the Jalan Besar GRC and the Guest Of Honour was Dr Lee Boon Yang while the panelist was Associate Professor Alfred Choi from NTU. It was indeed a very engaging forum and very candid sharing by Dr Lee and AP Alfred.

The participants were spread out into 5 groups to share their views on the possibilities of the regulation of internet from various perspectives such as individual, companies and government organisation. Many questions were asked by the participants and were also answered truthfully by Dr Lee Boon Yang. I believed it was an afternoon well spent by the youth and let's look forward to the next Policy Forum by Jalan Besar GRC!
