SINGAPORE - Ahead of Singapore Athletics 's Sept 25 election, Team Ground Up say they are ready to hit the ground running and have already secured $100,000 through donations to get their plans going if they are voted into power.
Lien, the general manager of ride-hailing app Gojek, said part of the $100,000 would go towards turning institutes of higher learning into regional training centres. Marinda Yeo, who is running for the post of vice-president said:"More can be done when we're voted into office and when we start to execute the plans we have crafted.
In the 1½-long conference, Lien talked about rebuilding trust in the community through open communication with the fraternity.
