Philosophy and Passions
Fadli believes in building an inclusive country where its citizens are given the time, space and resources to explore pursuits and develop themselves in ways which are both meaningful to the individual and beneficial to society.
Fadli hopes to see a more deliberative policymaking process in Singapore—one where legislation and policies are debated thoroughly, with a proper weighing of pros and cons, rather than being rushed through or rubber-stamped. Such an approach ensures that decisions are more robust and reflective of the diverse needs of society.
Fadli enjoys reading about a wide range of topics, watching football and going to the gym.
