Ahead of the upcoming commemoration at Kranji War Memorial, we revisit the ceremony that ended the Japanese Occupation and marked a turning point in Southeast Asia’s post-war awakening. Jeya unpacks how Singapore’s national identity evolved after independence in 1965—from economic priorities and military reform to how we commemorate conflict and teach history.

Selena’s journey began in 2019 during a family trip to a remote village still recovering from the 2015 earthquake. That experience—and a stranger’s unexpected act of generosity—planted the seed for her volunteer work. Now, she’s turning purpose into action, supporting WFN’s work to uplift women and children through education, safety, and empowerment. Her campaign is live on Give.Asia, and her firm is matching staff donations as part of its CSR initiative. Selena shares why Singaporeans should care, how small acts can spark big change, and what it means to give with intention. This is more than a climb—it’s a call to community.
