Every day he looks different because there's a rapid growth period. And I remember after general election, when the dust has settled, I came back and I look at him also, oh my God, he has grown so much. What did I miss out? So it was, it was quite, quite emotional. And then of course now they are a bit older.

a little bit more independent in that sense and but I must say that in the end whatever that I could do I wouldn't have been able to achieve those if not for the great support of many wonderful people so within the constituency I have a great team who have stood by me even during the toughest of times and I'm grateful.

Residents have been very kind and understanding and they continue to place their trust in me and I'm grateful. At work, my colleagues and my bosses have also been appreciative of my other roles and they gave me the flexibility. I'm grateful. Of course, at home, I've got my family, my parents, my husband and friends as well who are willing to step in when I have to go out and do my part.

So it's a whole ecosystem of support. I recognize that not everyone enjoys the same level of support. And so actually... This thing about how can we better support women to achieve their aspirations actually became one of the causes that I've been fighting for or talking about since that second general election, since 2015, since becoming a mother.

Yeah, actually I'm passionate about a range of issues and causes. When I was in my 20s, when I was first fielded, I was very passionate and I continue to be passionate about elderly issues as well as youth because I've always been.

a youth volunteer and I believe in youth development mental health mental wellness being such a core part of issue that youth are concerned about so that naturally is something that I'm concerned about as well and I've always been interested in mental health that's why I chose psychology right Then seniors, my parents are aging.

As the only child, I have to think about how I can support them, how I can care for them. And I also start to think about how I would like to live my life when I eventually grow old and become an elderly myself. So that's from the personal point of view, but my constituency, One in three are aged 60 and above. So I have a fairly significant population of seniors that were under my care.

Naturally, issues concerning them would be my concern as well. Ensuring their basic living needs are being taken care of, ensuring that they continue to be socially and mentally engaged because I think the biggest red face that our elderly face today is isolation. Bread and butter, all these.

Some do continue to struggle, but overall, I think with the government support, with the charities and community partners coming together, we can cover that part. For seniors, because of changing social structure, Many are living alone or they are living maybe with only one other person. Be a spouse, could be a helper.
