<strong>YSA</strong> BOOK LAUNCH<br />
TRAITS OF FUTURE SIKH LEADERS<br />
The Sikh Voices conference on 11 November <strong>2018</strong><br />
also witnessed the launch of <strong>YSA</strong>’s Sikh Voices<br />
publication, Traits of Future Sikh Leaders. Comprising<br />
a collection of essays by Sikhs from three different<br />
age groups (Under 30, 30-55 and Above 55 years),<br />
the book aims to help shape the future these writers<br />
want for the Sikh community in Singapore.<br />
The inaugural book hopes to provide thought<br />
leadership for the minority Sikh community in<br />
Singapore, which faces several challenges in<br />
the coming years. It is hoped that, through this<br />
publication, the community will develop a strong<br />
body of ideas, thoughts and approaches on dealing<br />
with its challenges.<br />
During the launch of the book, the co-editors, Mr<br />
Malminderjit Singh and Ms Alisha Gill, shared their<br />
belief that the book would provide a useful resource<br />
to view the Sikh community’s challenges from a<br />
wider national lens, where possible. The discussion<br />
on the issues of leadership would also foster deeper<br />
integration within the Sikh community.<br />
This book was presented to all the participants at<br />
the conference, including the Guest-of-Honour, Mr<br />
Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of<br />
Communications and Information, and Ministry of<br />
Health.<br />
Complimentary copies of the book are available at<br />
any gurdwara in Singapore. Alternatively, you can<br />
drop an email to Ms Alisha at alishagssg@gmail.com<br />
to arrange for a copy of the book.<br />
