Race Against CrimE - RACE-PYA Event 2010
On the 30th Oct 2010, Sat, our Unit had successfully organised a major Police Youth Ambassador (PYA) event titled "RACE - Race Against CrimE 2010".
This event was spearheaded by our Unit with CI(NPCC) Gary Toh as the CI Coordinator and CI (NPCC) Wei Jun as the Assistant Coordinator. The cadets Committee was headed by SSGT (NPCC) Leon as the Coordinator and SSGT (NPCC) Cecilia, SSGT (NPCC) Solihin, SGT (NPCC) Wei Chao as the Assistant Coordinators.
Of course, the Sec3 squad was involved in planning part of the programmes and the entire Unit was activated with the SCIs for the mobilisation of manpower to support the success of this Event.
With co-organising it with SPF, we have other organisations involved as stakeholders such as SCDF, NCPC, C2E, Chong Boon Market Sub Committee, Cheng San Zone D RC, as well as Secondary schools. In total, we have a total of up to 100 participants for both the CSSP Booth competition as well as the Amazing Race at AMK Neighbourhood having an overall of 80 event's officials manning this event.
This event took off ideas in December 2009 when we discuss with SPF on collaboration on a major PYA project and to take on "loan shark" as the theme. SPF put up proposal to request for fundings and finally in May, we received the approval on the fundings. This project kicked off initially as a X-country Event with CSSP Booths at Ang Mo Kio Garden. The idea was later on changed to an Amazing Race with CSSP Booths. Finally, this proposal was conceptualized by having the Amazing Race with the theme Loan shark for at-risk students and the CSSP Booths will become a competition for our NPCC Area schools to provide them the platform and opportunities to complete their PYA project as well.
This project indeed took on a long planning time and many's hardwork and effort including time were being put into to ensure that success is the only option for the Unit. We have indeed done our Unit and School proud with the successful completion of such a massive deployment in organising this event. Months of hardwork and many late nights including a camp overnight before the actual day to ensure that we do not missed out even the smallest details...had finally paid off.
Now we know...we have the capability and ability to host such a major event and we should continued to strive for more challenges and bring our Unit to greater heights!
To one and all, every cadets in the Unit who had one way or another contributed to the success of this event, SCIs who took their time off on Sat to ensure we have enough supervision, SPF, SCDF and NCPC for their continued support and contributions. And of course to the Organising Commmittee who had tirelessly put in 150% of their effort to ensure success. We had tasted the fruit of our efforts!
Congratulations! 3 Cheers to Deyi NPCC and everyone in the Unit!!!
