How should youths prepare themselves for the increasingly fragmented world? With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), how can students ensure that what they are learning in universities remain relevant?
These were among the questions raised by students from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) during a ministerial forum, themed “Strength in smallness — from the individual to the nation”, held on April 2.
PM Wong said that he could not get through all the questions and decided to respond on social media through a “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) video.
This is not the first time that the prime minister has used an AMA video format to address questions raised by Singaporeans.
On Dec 17, 2025, PM Wong used the same format to address questions such as exam stress, online harms and even a request to bring South Korean band BigBang to Singapore to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
The Sunday (April 19) video starts off with a question on how students can prepare themselves for the increasingly fragmented and complex world.
On this, PM Wong said that while the world is becoming more unpredictable, new opportunities are opening up. He suggested that youths should remain curious, learn continuously, and seize the opportunities around them.
“The path to excellence is never straight, but it’s the journey that makes us better and stronger,” he said.
Another student asked about the Government’s heavy investments in AI and how students can ensure that what they are learning will remain relevant in the years to come.
