Not that I am doubting their acheivements but what is the age criteria for this award huh? Like that I am still a young man...feels good man From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1208817/1/.html Three youths to receive the Singapore Youth Award Posted: 20 June 2012 1613 hrs

Changes planned to allow 18 year olds to go into business Posted: 25 August 2008 1531 hrs SINGAPORE - Plans have been laid out to make it easier for young entrepreneurs to go into business. The Finance Ministry is proposing a delinking of the age of majority from the age of contractual capacity, reducing the age from 21 years to 18 years. The move is the result of feedback received by the Pro-Enterprise Panel that legal barriers that prevent young people from starting and conducting a business should be removed. To change will however require the amendment of a host of other laws, and Civil Law Act which the Finance and Law ministries have drafted amendments to. The two ministries are now seeking feedback on the Consultation Paper both have released with the draft Civil Law (Amendment) Bill. The consultation period ends on Friday, 19 September. If it really happens, then IMH and those counselling centres will have more patients and there will be more bankrupts....very few teens are as enterprising and risk taking like the ang mohs whereby when they fell down time after time, they will stand up again and again...asians, especially singaporeans are afraid of failure.
