This Merdeka Day, let’s talk about freedom and independence, but in the context of a family unit.

Freedom is really not about doing anything we want, but it’s the power to do something we ought to do right.

Culture guru Joseph Tan, in this Effective Parenting series, shares with us how children can experience freedom and fun at home, but with set boundaries, rules, and responsibilities. And it’s usually through housework and homework!

In today’s dynamic and demanding work environments, leaders are increasingly called upon to go beyond managing performance; they must lead with humanity.

For C-Suite executives, mid-level managers, entrepreneurs, and even students preparing for leadership, recognising the impact of mental well-being on business performance is vital. When mental health is sidelined, burnout rises, trust erodes, and decision-making suffers. When prioritised, leaders build organisations that are not only high-performing but also human-centred and sustainable.
