Response to parliamentary question on availability of OBS facilities and programmes for businesses

Question

Mr Thomas Chua Kee Seng: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth whether local businesses can access the facilities at the new Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) to be built at Coney Island for their team-building activities as the existing OBS at Pulau Ubin no longer caters to businesses.


Response

Minister Grace Fu: The new OBS @ Coney, together with OBS' existing premises on Pulau Ubin, will expand OBS' capacity to provide outdoor adventure training opportunities for every youth as they go through upper secondary school. 

  1. Our priority in the next few years will be to recruit and train additional quality instructional staff to provide safe and meaningful experiences for all students attending OBS programmes.  

  2. OBS' priority is to develop resilient youths through shared challenging experiences. Corporates can tap on outdoor adventure providers in the private sector.
