Change in thought means change in life. Bringing your own flavour into the speech was and is brilliant. Education dosn't mean academic - education means learning to your capabilities to give yourself choices. You are heading for great things Joshua I look forward to following your road.

Very inspiring speech Joshua. You've got a great future ahead with your humility & honesty. Keep God in the centre of your life always and you will do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Phil.4:13).

Great points. To add to those words -Let's all be respective of everyone else too - brown, ping pong, indians, ching chongs - stop the name callings. Let's WORK TOGETHER! My daughter's best friend is Tongan - we're Malaysians. God bless you Joshua. Keep Him in the centre of your life always.

Fantastic speech. Well done Joshua, although I do not know you.... Well done, putting it out there, promoting a thought, planting the seed. I will endeavor to let these seeds grow. I only wish we had more role models like you for our younger people.... And if we do - then please Step Up! BE THE CHANGE
