Cyriva Club members in Polytechnic Forum 2011


The final week of Poly Forum 2011, the week all of us is looking forward for where all of us gathered at Malaysia Desaru, Lotus Resort. Once everyone gathered, we had briefing session by the camp chief and after that each different sub theme head to our own respective places for our breakout sessions.

Before we had our first breakout session, we had our buffet lunch. The food was superb delicious, it was so nice that we had to go for another round of serving. Not forgetting the dessert it’s nice.

For the first breakout session, our task was to compile all our findings from each sub subthemes, Local Charity, Price of Charity and Global Charity. From there, with the three compiled information, we combined all into one as a whole Charity Subtheme.

It was challenging for us to narrow down our research, taking out good points so that we can produce one good presentation for the whole subtheme Charity. 

After all the intensive discussion, it’s time for our fun time.

Dinner Time!

2nd Day, we had our breakout session with discussion and finalized on our presentation for the third day where we had to present it to the rest 4 subthemes.

3rd Day, everyone gathered at the Ballroom and we had our presentation from all 5 different subthemes. After all the presentations, we all went back to our rooms and get changed for our social night. Each subtheme did their own performances and as for Charity subtheme all of us gave our best shot. All of us had fun! 


On the last day, Hasif and a group of selected students were appointed to return back to Republic Polytechnic early morning to prepare for the Dialogue Session with the Minister of Education.

Hasif and Khong Zi Jian from NP were appointed by Charity Subtheme to decorate the panel for the exhibition booths. And thanks to David Liew, facilitator for Charity Subtheme and a facilitator from RP (STA) for assisting and helping us design the poster. And here is the decorated booth.

“Wonderful and fruitful journey I ever had during two weeks of Polytechnic Forum. Not only just enjoying and making more friends, it’s an eye-opener for me. I learnt a lot of valuable insights of charity, and being more aware what’s happening around the world right now. Charity Starts with Me and I Can Make A Difference.” – Muhammad Hasif (DMNT)


“In these 2 weeks of poly forum, i gained valuable knowledge and learnt about the current issues that Singapore is facing. Indeed it allowed me to see things in a different way. Of course not to mention, the friends i made from other polytechnics in Singapore, as well as the journey to complete this event is an awesome experience! Singapore now lies in the hands of the youths and we will be the one who will make a difference. We should be more considerate and charitable towards others. Lending a helping hand can bring smiles to others, as well as yourself. So what are you waiting for? Go out and help the needy! It all starts with you!” - Tey Chia Chin Josen (DAE)
