It takes two to tango -- policymakers who believed in the process, and citizens who contributed their time, energy and lived experiences to the process.

In Singapore, IPS' Dr @carolsoon has worked with different agencies to develop "Citizens' Panels".

The Citizens’ Panel on Work-Life Harmony is part of the #SingaporeTogether Movement, which calls for Singaporeans to play a part in policies. https://t.co/MVavhvomNA

Wrote this piece on use of IM for political campaigning. Lots of potential as seen in election campaigns elsewhere, much more can be done by political parties here, esp with the expanding features of IM platforms. @TODAYonline

[Institute of Policy Studies - IPS @IPS_sg]

IM can influence people’s perceptions towards issues. Singapore political parties can do better to connect with voters. #GE2020

Was #Singapore #GE2020 truly an Internet election? My @IPS_sg colleagues @carolsoon and I shared our research findings. My answer was "what influenced swing voters had little to do with using social media during the election". Full video panel and slides: https://t.co/gI71bAdCEg

So excited to meet @the_magdalene's co-founder @dasmaran in person at #asiajournalismforum. One of Asia's best examples of an activist journalist fighting for what she believes in.

Here's a profile that we ran on her startup.
