In the year 1959, freshly independent Singapore faces a catalogue of hardships associated with maturing into a full-fledged country: rampant, unchecked communism, frequent and soft-violent protests, an uneasy economy, an unstable political landscape, and more uncertainty than ever. This tiny state, populated by just over 1.5 million, is not only without a clear path forward but also facing immense pressure from outside forces. A solution, however, has been posed: to merge Singapore with the neighbouring state of Malaya. Although the merger promises economic prosperity, stability, and resources, questions are raised. Most importantly, the question of maintaining national autonomy remains: what should and could Singaporeans sacrifice to become Malaysian?
As a continuous crisis committee, the Advanced Crisis Committee is most appropriate for experienced delegates. Position papers are mandatory and must be submitted by January 12, 2026, at 23:59 PST. More information about position papers specific to this committee can be found in the Position Paper Guide, on the Delegate Resources Page.
Kelly Mao | Director
As a Grade 12 student at Semiahmoo Secondary School, Kelly is exuberant and jubilant to be serving as the director of ACC. Ever since reading her first crisis update and writing her first vague directive, Kelly has never gotten enough of the dizzying atmosphere of a crisis committee. She often finds herself using her committee session breaks drafting the perfect remedy for a problem or causing one. Between conferences, Kelly is playing competitive games, looking for pointless debates to spark with her friends, and laughing hysterically at her own jokes. Kelly knows VMUN 2026 will prove to be a memorable experience for its delegates; she is looking forward to an energetic and impassioned conference!
Ingrid Yang | Chair
Currently a Grade 12 student at Semiahmoo Secondary School, Ingrid is honoured to be serving as the Chair of ACC at VMUN 2026. Ever since Ingrid’s first shaky 10-second speech, Ingrid has grown to love all aspects of MUN, from researching to making passionate speeches. Ingrid has been captivated by the amazing MUN community and appreciates all of the rewards and challenges that she has experienced. Ingrid is incredibly grateful for all the friendships, memories and experiences MUN has brought her over the years. Outside of the committee room, you can find Ingrid swinging her racket on the badminton court, playing the piano, scrapbooking, and wondering how she reached “rouge” status so fast at Sephora. Ingrid is looking forward to seeing all delegates at VMUN 2026 for a weekend of passionate speeches and riveting debate!
Mickey Wang | Assistant Director
A Grade 12 student at St. George’s School, Mickey is delighted to serve as the Assistant Director of the ACC for VMUN 2026. Since attending his first conference in Grade 9, he has experienced countless enjoyable memories. From getting Starbucks between each committee session, to the extremely questionable hotel room activities, Mickey has grown to cherish each memory made throughout his journey. Outside the conference room, Mickey can be found perfecting his Spotify playlist, wasting money at the school cafe, and reading webtoons. He is excited to share his experiences and insights with others and is overjoyed that he can help contribute to sentimental memories. Mickey is looking forward to meeting the new and old delegates alike and wishes that everyone will enjoy their time during VMUN 2026.
