Introduction
Edward believes that everyone possesses remarkable capacity and value, and when we empower individuals to impact the community, together we are greater than the sum of our parts.
From a young age, Edward has lived out his conviction that enterprises are potent engines for positive impact and change. Driven to create a platform for young musicians and develop our local culinary talents, Edward co-founded live music restaurant Timbre when he was 21 years of age, and grew the homegrown brand into a familiar name. He continues to pursue positive impact through entrepreneurship, with his focus currently on green economy solutions.
Since he took office in 2020, Edward has been representing the views of Singapore businesses, particularly local Small-Medium-Enterprises (SMEs), drawing on his regular chats with SME owners.
In Bukit Panjang, he has brought the community together to create common good. At the heart of the pandemic, he worked hand in hand with residents to kickstart a town-wide network for home bakers and cooks called Bukit Panjang Sedap! The group has grown to over 11,000 members, empowering residents to generate additional income for their families and creating more opportunities for neighbourliness and friendships to thrive around the town.
Edward also places a strong emphasis on securing a sustainable future. As the Action for Green Towns Sustainability Champion for Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council, he has worked with residents, partners and the Town Council to build more green spaces that involve the community, as well as adopt more practices that contribute to reducing waste and energy use.
