Encountering Someone with Authority? No Fear.

Hello it has been a long time since I last made a post on my blog.

Recently I came across this video about how this young girl bravely spoke up to address environmental issues during a UN conference, even though she herself has no political authority.


What I admire about her is that although she was a young civilian at that time, she had the courage, of which most people did not have, to make a very good point to people having the highest power of authority. She even make a few constructive criticisms about how some countries unneccessarily wasted their resources. Even though the whole world is silenced by her words, I believed that most of the representatives of the countries who attended the conference would be taking her words by heart and willing to change the governing of the country for the better, for the sake of a peaceful world.

Now, because of her, we, the citizens of Singapore, are given many chances to voice out our own opinions regarding Singapore laws and political issues to our government.

Message of this blog: It is not just politicians, but all of you (even if you are not a politicians), who have the ability to change anything.
