In the words of a participant, Ong Sing May (21A01C), “I attended four virtual RSP sessions and every one of them was enjoyable and informative, with quizzes, tight lesson plans and engaging teachers. RSP gave me a general understanding of the Southeast Asian region’s economy, culture and politics and bolstered my learning of History in JC. My interest for Southeast Asian culture has only grown since. Moreover, RSP has developed my ability to analyse action-reaction events in recent history.”
According to Yean Lyn (21A13B), RSP allows for “the broadening of my world view through increased familiarity with other countries and their customs.”
Shylla (21S03E) enjoys RSP as “it provided me with an opportunity to learn more about the region, and the various countries within it. I enjoyed learning about various religions, cultures, and political systems in the region. I was better able to understand the significance of ASEAN, and its role in allowing various countries to coexist despite having different political ideologies or beliefs. I thought it was interesting that countries' unique geographic locations contributed to key historical events or economic developments within them. I also enjoyed learning about nuances in languages across the region.”
Ruhi (21S03E) says that, “despite the Covid-19 situation placing restrictions on our interactions, RSP continued to provide us with invaluable knowledge regarding our immediate neighbours. Although, my journey in RSP has come to an end, it has sown in me a seed of curiosity through its overseas trip and interactive lessons that drives me to learn more about the Southeast Asian region”
