Kenny Foo - Officer Commanding
Kenny, as a graduate from Ngee Ann Poly, choose to come to Singapore Poly to invest his life in the youths. Always seen as a cheeky, funny and entertaining man, Kenny is a man with knowledge and great advice. A man with a serving heart."No matter what skills sets a person has, he believes most of all in the development of the inner self, the moral values of each person that he comes in contact with."
He started out his journey in The Boys’ Brigade as a 3rd year student helping to kick start a new Primers company in Ngee Ann Poly. The journey undertaken by the team was arduous and many lessons were learnt in the grueling 6 months that went past. And so from a non-existent club it drew an initial 100 freshies to it through the welcome party, which subsequently ran many big events like SGB@NP . Through his involvement in Ngee Ann, he was the facilitator of the 2nd team that went up to the BB learning center in Siem Reap to do the building project of the current center!
The experiences that he had during his six months with Ngee Ann caused him to hope for more young people to come and join in this journey of self discovery!
In the year 2004, a door opened for Ps Danny and Kenny with a team of adult leaders to take over the leadership of SP.Primers. They swiftly overhauled the programming of the company with a vision for it to become a Youth Organisation of Choice.
3 months into their new land, they ran a highly successful recruitment drive (which is now known as the YOUcampaign) having an estimated attendance of close to 600 who attended their various events. That sets the precedent for the next generation of youth leaders to follow and currently SP.PRIMERS has an average attendance of 80 people for their events!
A visionary and an articulate teacher, this officer pushes the boundaries of what student led club should be. He excelled best when he mentors the leaders in making, believing that “Youths are the leaders of today!” and never expecting any less from his Executive Committee members.His principle of coaching is a simple approach of building into the character of each of his young students trusting that the depth of the person will determine the breath of his/her achievements. So no matter what skills sets a person has, he believes most of all in the development of the inner self, the moral values of each person that he comes in contact with.
Kenny has been known as someone who does not minced his words when he expects things to be done but there is a softer side to him which only the closest people that he works with sees it. Being a people person, he best enjoys sitting down in a café and chit chatting with his friends. The heartbeat he has for the youth is always that they are able to understand their destiny in life and that there are no impossibilities to what a person can achieve!

Ng Huishan - Officer
"Huishan believes youths can make a difference in the choices they make"
Huishan was introduced to Primers by her seniors even before she was in SP. Back then, she was not really considering Primers as a CCA but the friendliness of the people in the club brought her from one event to another. She joined the team for a humanitarian trip to Sri Lanka, in the Tamil Tiger Region to help in the Tsunami. Through it, she built a closer and stronger relationship with her fellow Primers.
In 2006, Huishan was invited onboard to serve as Vice-President of the club. Despite her inexperience and lack of skill set, she trusts in the leadership that she was the best person to be put up for this position. The journey was not easy for a young girl like her but the constant care and support she gets from Primers keeps her going on. Shenglong and Kenny were also very supportive in coaching and guiding her in her role. The thought of giving up never sink into her heart.
Graduated in 2008, Huishan chose to continue to serve in Primers as an officer. She is committed into building the lives of youths as an elder sister to them. She constantly take time to listen and share her experiences with the youths. She enjoys doing so as she sees her youthful self in them. The people in the family is the most important reason why she is still around. She sees them as family members, people who are close to her heart. Witnessing how they love the people, it gives Huishan the desire to replicate this love to the youths, and have more people to experience the goodness she went through.
Huishan believes youths can make a difference in the choices they make. She is interested in helping them analyze and make the right choice. At the same time, she believes in giving support to youths to build the courage in them in making choices. The process is more important that the product. Her principle of coaching is by relating her experiences with the youths.
This young lady shows that it is important to excel in your own personal development and relationship with one another. It is not a matter of ‘When’ but a matter or ‘Will’. Being a cheerful person, she enjoys seeing smiles on faces of people she meets. She is currently working at a student care centre at Pei Tong CareHut, as a programme coordinator.
