for example, prime minister lee hsien loong announcer a national-level conversation where citizens can come together to share their views and ideas about what matters to singapore, as well as their hopes and dreams.

Is singapore affordable to live in. --> govt understands problems by people --> govt can act on these feedback and implement new policies to meet the needs of the people in society.

Citizens can contribute towards the good of society in many ways. Citizens can influence government policies by providing feedback through platforms such as online and offline communication channels. Citizens can also improve outcomes in society by addressing the needs of their fellow citizens or by responding to issues and challenges that they care about. (Good!) --> for Influencing Govt Decisions (Grp 1)

Individuals play an important role in contributing to the needs of society through volunteering their time, effort and money towards meaningful social causes. For example, citizens who are unhappy with littering, started a campaign called “A litter at a Time” by Ms Elisa Ng OR Dr Joshua Lam volunteers at a subsidised clinic for migrant workers --> to encourage people to pick up a piece of litter Everyday. --> if everyone plays their part, they can make a difference in the environment and contribute to a cleaner environment.
