#354 Tin Pei Ling: What It Takes to Be Singapore’s Youngest Member of Parliament

Yeah, definitely, definitely. Coming out of that period, it did accelerate my personal growth and even emotionally, psychologically, I would say that today I'm probably a lot more resilient. Looking back, even though that was the darkest period for me personally, I'm actually thankful for having gone through that experience because it really helped me grow.

And it also gave me a story to tell, which I hope would be useful for others who may have their own battles to fight. If it's of any consolation at all, hopefully it will be helpful for them. I must say, coming back to the bias that you mentioned earlier, a lot of people would assume that age correlates with maturity. But maybe I can just share one example. This was what happened in 2011.

So that was the first general election that I took part in. I remember on polling day, that was the day that people went, goes down to vote, right? And then for us, we could actually go from polling station to polling station. We can't get involved. We can just monitor and inspect, right? And so I stepped out of one of the polling station with my election agent.

And as we walked out, a pair of sisters walk in the opposite direction. And I remember they were, I think in their 50s. As they walked past, they were heckling at me. They were chanting like something that was meant to mock at me. And I was thinking to myself, I mean, this felt a bit like high school. I didn't actually experience it in high school. As that happened, I was thinking to myself, wow.

What just happened? I mean, hand over heart. I did not think that I did anything wrong. I did not hurt anyone. I did not commit a crime. Yeah, I was young. Maybe I wasn't very polished, but I don't think I did anything wrong. And all I wanted to do was to do something meaningful. And yes, it was quite a moment.

#191 Pei Ling Tin: A Life-Altering Election for Singapore's Youngest Elected Parliamentarian - Part Two

I think it was wonderful. Fantastic. I really enjoyed my time at Chicago Booth. I meet a lot of different people from different walks of life. I learn from them and make great friends, including you, Vinz. Yeah, of course, of course. Of course. 10 years and counting. Yes, yes. Yeah, so... Okay, first of all, I like meeting people, but I also love learning.

After I graduated from university, I realized I do like being a student. I like to challenge myself and stretch my mind. I never really did study business type of subjects when I was in school. And so the MBA helps to put frameworks and theories to what I learned on the job. Business consulting, it is business, but... It's not like a formal education. It's on the job kind of training.

So going through MBA, I think that was useful. There is a lot of rigor in what Chicago Bulls offer. I remember, for example, macroeconomics.

Yeah, man. Heisinger. Professor Heisinger. I really liked him. He really drives us. He taught us how to look at trends, try to predict stuff using formulas. I know that some other, I shall not name other schools, but from my understanding, macroeconomics would be a little bit more intuitive in those causes. But for Chicago Booth, it was all formula-driven.
