"I always hope for the best possible future for my young children and ageing parents. This means quality education and healthcare. I also draw motivation from the people I often meet. These may be my students or residents or fellow volunteers. Each of them has a unique background, transforming adversity to success."

Introduction
Wan Rizal is passionate about strengthening mental health support, building more sustainable towns and giving every Singaporean multiple pathways to success.
A member of the GPC for Health, Wan Rizal frequently speaks up on mental health awareness and support. He draws on the advice of mental health researchers and practitioners to advocate for better policies in Parliament. Under the PAP’s #BetterTogether movement for mental health, he has organised activities to strengthen awareness of mental health issues in his constituency as well as in the Malay/Muslim community.
Wan Rizal also serves as the Chair for the Action for Green Towns (AGT) Taskforce – a collective effort among the 15 PAP-led Town Councils to level up sustainability practices within their communities. Launched in May 2021, the initiative aims to galvanise support from residents and stakeholders to move towards co-creating zero-waste, energy-efficient and greener towns. As the Sustainability Champion and Chairman of Jalan Besar Town Council, he has instituted greener practices and sustainability programmes in Jalan Besar GRC and his constituency of Kolam Ayer.
A lecturer in a polytechnic and a late bloomer in academics himself, Wan Rizal believes that education should bring out the best in every student. Along with other members of the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Education, he has spoken up on multiple pathways to success for students in polytechnics and ITEs.
A lifelong community builder, Wan Rizal was active in grassroots activities and Malay/Muslim community organisations for many years before becoming a Member of Parliament in 2020.
