Today is the first day of SMUN 2021. Everyone has been planning for this for several months now. This is the day that many have waited for. Freedom of speech has left the Whatsapp group chats to make room for announcements. We get to see the opening ceremony led by Mr. Harry Goh (and if you look carefully, his glasses reflect the presence of a streaming team on his left). With a bit of a bump here and there, the commencing of the event starts to roll. As a Press Editor, it is exciting to anticipate the reports of all ten SMUN councils, excluding press, coming in via our journalists through the email in the form of pitches, written articles, and other multimedia formats. Good luck for all the delegates, chairs, and committees involved to have a blast during the first day!Adiba - Press Editor
The Press Corps had a slow start today as delegates were off to listen in at other committees. But oh boy was I flooded with a ton of last-minute submissions after 7pm. Here’s to a fruitful day two ahead!

For far too long, the Right Honorable Chairs of the Press Corps have been overworked and underrepresented in pertinent issues pertaining to Singapore Model United Nations. For the nature of the Press Corps is fundamentally different from the other committees, being a non-centralised committee where delegates do not aggregate at a specific location or commit to a single communal activity, the roles and responsibilities of Press Chairs (heretofore known as Editors”) bear little resemblance to those of other Chairs.
For one, as the Editors are not involved in the administration of any particular committee, the occupancy of their time is therefore not constrained to any specific activity. A consequence of this is that an Editor has to expend a considerable amount of their time in the deciding of what actions they must do to make the best use of their situation—be it Solitaire, washing the dishes, or doing homework assignments. Not only does this place a temporal burden on the Editor, but it uses up cognitive resources that can be better spent on activities that contribute towards Model United Nations.I have now proven that SMUN Editors are more overworked than conventional committee chairs. As a reparation, I demand that SMUN Editors be each given five hundred million dollars as compensation.Jaden Ong Heng Yi - Editor
