“Throughout my career, I did not need to do strenuous physical tasks such as restraining the crocodiles or moving heavy cartons of food. As a team, I feel men and women can complement each other in harmony, if we focus on our strengths instead of weaknesses.” FocusTeamStrengthWeaknessHarmonyCareerComplement Author:Fanny Lai
“It is not easy to be a man with growing feminism. It is ideal if women who are very successful in their careers can find a man to complement their strengths and work as a team. I think we should interview the men behind all the successful women, and find out the qualities of good men behind successful women. “Behind every successful woman is a great man.” Finding the right companion on the onset is like striking the jackpot in life.” LifeQualityTeamFeminismStrengthCompanionCareerComplement Author:Fanny Lai
“Life is short and I want to live every day like it is my last without regrets. At my age, I have had many friends who have passed away. I know that I do not want to work until I drop dead at my desk. I want to live the way I want it to be—free and wild.” LifeWorkRegretDeadFreeWildShortPass Away Author:Fanny Lai
“We have a lot more opportunities in Singapore now compared to the 1960s and 1970s. We have access to the same careers, receive the same education and compensation. Many also venture into industries that were formerly “men’s fields”. The last I checked we were ranked #55 out of 150 odd countries in terms of gender equality, according to World Economic Forum. We are still lagging behind Scandinavia and some European countries, but we are way above all the Asian countries. We are quite fortunate to be women in Singapore.” WomenCareerCompensationGender EqualitySingaporeEduction Author:Fanny Lai
