What do you love most about being Singaporean?
I love that we’re all on one team–whether it’s us cheering at Sports Hub for the national team, fighting the pandemic together or planning food resiliency through innovative startups–what benefits one of us, benefits all of us. Since we’re a small country, there’s a great mission we all share in making our lives here more meaningful and enjoyable.
What does being a woman in Singapore mean to you?
It means that I can be an empowered individual and dream of emerging technologies for the 21st century. There is an ecosystem of universities, startups and venture fund here that are supported by like-minded people and women’s networks. This allows me to have the confidence that if I work hard, I can go on the global stage and compete for projects and clients–all because I’m from Singapore and can be taken seriously.
What is your favourite local hawker dish?
Everything at Mr & Mrs Mohgan Prata in Katong is delicious. The Super Crispy Prata is the perfect dish with mutton curry! There is always a long line at the stall so I’d recommend visitors to go early.
