Vision for Singapore

He believes that through collective efforts, we can build a Singapore that reflects the values of fairness, inclusivity, and opportunity for all.
Louis advocates for a culture of open-mindedness, where the government and civil service recognise the value of alternative viewpoints in making the best decisions for Singapore. He believes that a balanced parliament is essential for enhancing accountability and transparency in government decision-making, ensuring that all voices are heard and that policies are designed to serve the collective good.
Philosophy and Passions
Louis believes that it may be tempting to take the easy path in life, but we only live once. It is important for all of us to forge a meaningful path that shapes us into the person we aspire to be, and the best version of ourselves.
Louis is married with two energetic boys and a Cavapoo puppy, who the boys affectionately call their “mei mei” or little sister. Family is at the heart of all that he does, and he is deeply committed to creating a Singapore where every Singaporean can thrive, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Louis also enjoys singing and was the president of the Music Interactive Club (known as the “karaoke club”) in university. In his younger days, wakeboarding was one of his favourite pastimes.
