Been busy with my school project and also with my association stuffs. Was involved as Security Personnel in this Youth Peace Interfaith Symposium organised by my association at Expo on Sunday March 16th.

I must said the role has been a challenging one, as the event is being graced by leaders from the various religious groups and the Foreign Minister being the Guest Speaker, every aspect of the event has to be well-taken care of. Being one of the IC, was tasked to oversee the area between the exhibition hall and the main hall. In the process, the security of Mr O also comes under my care as the moment he steps into the exhibition area, I will have to ensure his safety. I must said it sure was interesting as I have to follow him closely where ever he goes, and at points where he stays and interact with some of the religious leaders, I have to be standing near him. Kind of reminds me of those bodyguards I saw on TV.

Overall the whole security stint was great, though it was tiring but having the chance to go through the whole works of ensuring security of such a large scale event and to ensure the safety of Mr O is indeed an experience that I will never forget. From ensuring security before the event, safety of guests and VIPs, overall security of the main hall during and after the event, all these requires detailed planning and great seriousness in us; security personnel.

Though am still suffering from the tiredness of the event yesterday and the day before, but spirits are still high!
