“The struggle of man against power
is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”
- Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

​

I am a historian, author, content creator, and curator.

​

I am a Senior Researcher at Singapore History Consultants Pte Ltd,
a Singapore-based heritage consultancy;

the Chief Curator of Hell’s Museum,

a museum inside Haw Par Villa, a historic cultural park in Singapore;
and the author of Jalan Singapura: 700 Years of Movement in Singapore.

In my free time, I engage in history research,
urban exploration, and transport studies.

​

As a Singaporean, I believe it is my duty to lay claim to my country’s rich heritage, narrativise it, uncover its many silences, and conserve it for future generations.
