The SGLaw200 Youth Forum

Singapore Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong addressed youths at the opening of SGLaw200 Youth Forum, urging young Singaporeans to help evolve and strengthen the Rule of Law for the future, so that Singapore remains a society defined by fairness, justice and trust. At the closing dialogue, Minister for Law, Mr Edwin Tong - joined by panellists from the judiciary and the Attorney-General’s Chambers - described the Rule of Law as a dynamic, living framework that must be continually renewed to remain fit for purpose — encompassing new challenges in technology and the needs of vulnerable communities. 

The panellists answered questions from the lively youth audience, which covered a wide range of topics including civic participation in law-making, the separation of powers and access to justice.
