Your Singapore 2035 Blueprint ; Singapore in the future!

# data[].attributes.body
You are part of a Youth Advisory team helping to shape Singapore’s future.

Your task is to design what Singapore should look like in 2035 and the role youth play in it.

What kind of Singapore do we want to live in and how do we get there?

# data[].attributes.body
For the following questions, each group is to discuss and assign a scribe to type out your answers into the respective sections.

Do remember to indicate your group numbers as the title of your entrees.

# data[].attributes.body
Think of your vision based on your given sub-theme, just a summary of your hopes and wishes in the development of Singapore

E.g. In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where…

AI improves life without leaving anyone behind (Innovation and AI)

Growth and sustainability go hand in hand (Environment and sustainability)

Everyone has equal opportunities to thrive (Social compact)

Culture and identity stay strong in a modern world (Arts and culture)

Globalisation improves, forming greater connections (Regional and Global affairs)

# data[].attributes.body
Identify 1 big challenge that Singapore has to overcome to achieve your vision

E.g.

Job disruptions (AI taking over)

Ageing population (how do we not leave anyone behind?)

Global tensions (how do we ensure the new generation stays open-minded to regional differences?)

Climate change increasingly worsens (Technology is prioritised over nature and environment)

# data[].attributes.body
What are some ways proposed to mitigate these challenges? Think from 3 different points of view: Government, Organisations/ schools/companies, Youth (you!)

For example (Regional and global affairs) 1. Government:

Maintain strong diplomatic relationships with multiple global powers

Diversify trade partnerships to reduce over-dependence on any single country

2. Organisations:

Expand global collaboration in technology, research, and busines

Prepare workers for global industries and remote collaboration

3. Youth:

Stay informed about global issues (climate, wars, economy)

Develop global skills like communication and adaptability

# data[].attributes.body
Im 2035, Singapore will he a nation where AI is well integrated into everyones life and everyone is able to access it equally, no matter what their ses or social status is.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where we are globalised, tech-savvy, and efficient, whilst being able to coexist and leverage on technology to increase productivity and materialise futuristic concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a globally connected nation that builds strong international partnerships and creates opportunities for all.

# data[].attributes.body
how will singapore be able to maintain and build good relationships with our neighbouring countries such that we can forge closer bonds with others?

# data[].attributes.body
Balancing the use of artificial intelligence for repetitive routines, data-heavy tasks whilst ensuring human innovation and creativity are not supressed by the capabilities of artifical intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
Unemployment caused by takeover of AI in multiple industries. This leaves many people unemployed and unable to secure stable or even minimum wage jobs

# data[].attributes.body
Government

Laws and policies that prevent the retrenchment of the current workforce and ensuring that international organisations do not make use of AI for their selfish needs

Maintaining good diplomatic relations to build trust and partnership in developing AI for good causes

Organisations

Finding ways to make current job positions expendable and flexible to be able to accommodate both AI and human figures in respective industries.

Youth

Upskilling and reforming our educational/career pathways to suit current trends

Raising awareness within the communities for people to adapt and be informed about future changes.

# data[].attributes.body
Government:

Increase trade with our nenoighbouring countries, helping to forge trust

Provide humanitarian aids in times of crisis

Organisations:

Expand global collaboration in technology, research and business

Youth:

participate in cross cultural exchanges and events

stay informed about global issues

be respectful to other cultures

# data[].attributes.body
The government can limit the use of AI so people do not easily get replaced and lose their jobs.

Schools and organisations can conduct upskilling workshops so more people can have more skills to get hired more easily.

As youths, we should proactively read up about AI so we can learn to work together with AI and make ourselves useful in the process.

# data[].attributes.body
in 2035, Singapore will be a place where everyone has fair chances to grow, And move from being a being hyper competitive society to a harmonious community with mutual support.

# data[].attributes.body
Government should have peace treaties and diplomatic meetings in order to maintain peace as well as trade agreements

Find ways to make jobs accommodate both ai and human figures

Teach ai in schools as well as highlight how to use it and how to use it effectively and adapt to future changes in tech

# data[].attributes.body
Not having places to dispose of our increasing amounts of rubbish (E.g. Semakau Landfill is rapidly running out of space, hence no way to throw, by 2035 it will be full

Limited resources, so we have to rely on other countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Sub there: Innovation and AI

We hope that SG can become more developed in technology, not just in hardware but software as well. in terms of AI, we hope that it can be properly and responsibly utilised as a tool to connect us with the international community and push global connection. We want to embrace AI, to help preserve heritage and retain SG's relevancy on a international level, admidst the readily advancing avant-garde global society.

# data[].attributes.body
AI could cause job loss and unemployment

How do we, advancements in AI and technology could affect environment

How do we continue to stay globally connected while reducing reliance on foreign imports/currency/etc

# data[].attributes.body
Government

Laws and enforcement

Promote racial harmony through campaigns

Organisation

Cultural exchange programmes

Provide training for everyone

Youths

Learn about different cultures and religion

# data[].attributes.body
social compact:

finding a way to cope with rising cost of living in singapore as it affects vulnerable groups of people (migrant workers etc) especially since they come here to give back to their family (high loans, high prices)

arts and culture:

traditional forms of arts may be lost, deepfake, loss of cultural identity

environment:

making the right decisions (diff stakehodlers, diff opinions) on how to use AI to improve environment.

limited resources (consider diff stakeholders) dont agree w usage of AI -> lack of unity

elderly not comfortable or dont udnerstand hot to use AI -> more people to teach and support them (volunteering, family members)

# data[].attributes.body
1: The government can hold different events in community centers so people from different race/religion/culture can mingle together

2: Schools can impose a quota for the amount of students from different backgrounds to hold positions/participate in activities

3: Youths can include and talk to more people from different backgrounds eg: race/religion/culture

# data[].attributes.body
We want to live in a interconnected world where AI has allowed everyone to express themselves and are appreciated. AI should not replace humans, rather, they should help humans find and navigate their true self. Humans and AI can work hand in hand to make the world better.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where there will be a lot of innovation and artificial intelligence integrated into the infrastructure, made with equal access for everyone and with the best interests of Singapore as a country at the heart.

# data[].attributes.body
continue to stay relevant with modern times especially with the rise of globalisation. eg: working hand in hand with AI

# data[].attributes.body
We hope that in the future Singapore will achieve its 30 by 30 vision faster, and be less reliant on other countries for food imports incase got conflicts with other countries. We hope that environment sustainable living is available to everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Governments keeping up with the times and regulating the use of AI. Governments also improve ai literacy rates.

People take responsibility to be more aware of how to use ai and have an onus to stay relevant themselves by upskilling and keeping up with the times

# data[].attributes.body
as singapore’s ageing population increases, the elderly are often left behind and unable to adapt quickly to the new technology. as a nation, we should come up with new initiatives to include them as we progress to integrate artificial intelligence, to allow equal access.

# data[].attributes.body
cost of living: government -> increase variety of food sources, reduce cost

youths can work part time jobs and be more independent

arts and culture -> to show importance of arts in society: laws and policies to enforce traditions, such as disallowing the use of AI to pirate content or create deepfake images

environment: democracy yay ! voting

for elderly not understanding the use of AI, allow family members, volunteers from organisations to teach them to be more proficient in the use of AI

govt: more initiatives

youth seminars -> NYC, network discuss current affairs !

schools -> more VIA !

# data[].attributes.body
Government: Organise community events to teach affordable and sustainable living methods.

Schools: Let students participate in environmental activities like recycling and clean-up campaigns.

Youths: Encourage friends and family to adopt simple eco-friendly habits.

# data[].attributes.body
AI job displacement

Government:

-Educate citizens on AI and teach them to be AI fluent.

-Provide subsidies and affordable classes as well as help for people that lost their jobs because of AI

Organisations:

-Train employees for AI instead of fire them

-Expand jobs available

-cooperate with government

Youth:

-Pick up 21st century competencies and be adaptable to changes in the world

Improve healthcare subsidies for the elderly

2. Organisations:

More programmes catering to exercise for Singaporeans so we can lead a better lifestyle

3. Youths:

# data[].attributes.body
In 2035, Singapore will be a nation where the underprivileged have the same opportunities to succeed as everyone else. For example, the underprivileged can access education equally so they fulfil the requirement to get hired at companies to get a job. This shortens the gap between the rich and the poor. Underprivileged students can also be funded with technology alongside textbooks and uniforms as technology advances so they have equal resources.

Unemployment rate can be lower. Everyone has the opportunity to get a job regardless of their background or status.

Underprivileged have the daily necessities so they will not have to worry about it, and focus on something else.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Singapore has an actively aging population, this will result in the retirement age being higher. This means that they will feel more stressed and experience physical fatigue. We need to look for solutions(e.g. active aging centers) to solve this issue.

# data[].attributes.body
globalization like tourist not being able to understand Singapore's laws and policies, which may disrupt services and local's life. SG also needs to keep up with demands and ensure there is enough entertainment and services catered to the tourist

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge is the risk of creating cultural echo chambers that accidentally deepen divisions. When global events polarize people, art often takes a strong side, alienating those with opposing views. If a creative project feels like political lecturing, it triggers defensive backlash, causing divided groups to retreat into their bubbles instead of coming together.

# data[].attributes.body
Government:

Encourage citizens to volunteer for VIA works. Subsidies poor people and help people in need. Increase pay of social workers so more people will work more and harder for social stuff. Teach students in school to volunteer for people in need to teach them to be KinD~

Organization:

Pay their workers better, priorities worker welfare, donate to charitable organizations, organize events to the public to raise awareness for people in nEed.

You:

Donate stuff to broke people and sacrifice your time to help those people

# data[].attributes.body
Problem statement: How might we use arts and culture to foster social unity and cohesion in the face of global events that increasingly create division within society?

Government

Fund inclusive arts and cultural initiatives that celebrate Singapore's multicultural identity

Integrate arts and cultural education into schools

Organisations

Partner with artists and community groups to make projects that tell diverse stories

Youths

Participate in cultural events and festivals to appreciate other cultures

# data[].attributes.body
Sub theme: Art and Culture

We hope to preserve the heritage and customs that are a part of our cultures. We want to continue celebrating our diverse cultural backgrounds and be able to continue passing down through practicing our traditions. Even in the face of global events that might pose difficulty. Global and political issues may eradicate ancient practices in the face of modernisation. We believe in the current age, balancing modernisation and cultural practices will allow SG to develop with the times while protecting its identity.

In 2035, singapore will be a place where there is zero waste and relies solely on renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions significantly. plant more trees in new estate areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Job disruption by AI, as they start to replace some jobs and is becoming a more and more relevant issue. This results in retrenchment and people being uncertain about their future.

# data[].attributes.body
- public awareness in their commitment to the plan since people think its not convenient

- unwillingess to participate in societal efforts

- not being able to think long term

# data[].attributes.body
- through publicity, the government can appeal to the local residents regarding their energy usage and reduce consumption, and the different methods to build a sustainable future.

- companies can advertise sustainable methods on their products and use sustainable materials as much as possible

- youths can start volunteer projects to educate the public to outreach in order to spread awareness about the effects of climate change and global warming

# data[].attributes.body
Problem: Rapid technological change, AI is taking over ppl's jobs and more people are unemployed (Skill issue but ok)

Solution: Government can create policies and partnerships that strengthen national resilience that trains people to learn how to use AI in the jobs to increase efficiency and stay relevant.

Organizations can help individuals to adapt to change by providing opportunities for learning, innovation, and collaboration.

Youths can develop the skills needed for the future by staying informed about global issues and learning how to use AI efficiently and responsibly so that they can be a contributing member of the society.
