 * Rough Draft**

**Benedict Wong – Deputy Secretary General** **By Han Myo Oo (Edward Xu), International School Yangon**

Benedict Wong, who graced THIMUN Singapore last year as the President of ECOSOC, is back as a senior this year, ready to mark his 5 th year in MUN as Deputy Secretary General. Wong’s goal for this year’s conference is to “with the rest of the student officer team, see the best THIMUN Singapore through, to surpass all hopes and expectations, and to meet the challenge of last year”. This shouldn’t be an impossible feat for him, considering his experience as the DSG for BISSMUN last year, and what he describes as his “OCD about planning”. His interests range from swimming to art, and he intends to pursue a career in engineering, explaining that his MUN experience has imparted him with important skills for the future, such as “the understanding and awareness of our environment – politically, socially, and economically”. He says: “Whatever career any of us chooses, learning to act on the problems that we see will help ensure that our children, and our children’s children will have a good environment to live in.”

**Eric Wang – Deputy Secretary General** **By Han Myo Oo (Edward Xu), International School Yangon**

His team might “always beat” Benedict’s in the arena of swimming competitions, but there is no question that Deputy Secretary General Eric Wang will have to be cooperating with “Ben” on this one. With his “affable” and “good-humored” personality, Wong has worked his way through various positions, such as the Assistant President of the Advisory Panel in his second year in THIMUN at the Hague, all the way to becoming Secretary General for this year’s BEIMUN. Wang hopes to see everybody participating in debates, stating: “There shouldn't be one person in the conference that hasn't said anything at all”. He believes that MUN is important because “it deals with issues that are pertinent in the real world, and make students actually have to think about solving these issues themselves”. When asked about what advice he has for other delegates to THIMUN Singapore this year, he simply replied: “Confidence. Confidence is the key to MUN. You don’t have to be right all the time. Just be confident and most importantly, participate.”
