Introduction
Mariam Jaafar’s vision in giving back to the country is focused on three main tenets. Firstly, investing in our people, from early childhood education to lifelong learning, upskilling and reskilling, to continuing to create good jobs and opportunities for Singaporeans in a rapidly changing world. Secondly, promoting diversity and inclusion, so everyone is treated with fairness and respect, and feels they belong. Thirdly, improving accessibility to welfare and healthcare (including mental health). She believes in fighting to ensure Singaporeans continue to enjoy social mobility.
Mariam desires to be a voice for and contribute not just to the Malay Muslim community, but also to the broader society, while bringing a global perspective. She believes in going to the ground, interacting with people to really understand their issues in order to work out innovative and sustainable solutions.
She loves her big family, chocolate croissants, and is a proud Liverpool FC fan.
