From neighbourhood school to war in Afghanistan, leading NDP2022, and now a new face in a GRC!

Sessions aka Rise 'n Shine Podcast - In this episode, we sit down with someone who’s quietly served Singapore for decades—from the heartlands to national duties most of us never hear about. He’s not here to shout slogans. He’s here to listen, reflect, and share why he believes serving people is more than just a job—it’s a lifelong mission. In this honest conversation, we talk about: • Growing up in the heartlands and what shaped his beliefs • Why he chose to serve Singapore in uniform and in the community • Lessons from leading during crisis—including COVID and overseas deployments • What community really means to him—and how he hopes to strengthen it • The surprising role he played during Singapore’s comeback National Day Parade • Why walking the ground matters more than ever today We don’t tell you who he is in the title… because we want you to discover it for yourself. But by the end of this episode, we hope you’ll not just know him—you’ll relate to him. FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS!
