“Are unelected voices still necessary in parliament?” (with former NMP Anthea Ong)

Following our earlier conversation with former nominated member of parliament Anthea Ong on the current state of mental health and well-being in Singapore, we invited her back to chat about her stint in parliament. In particular, we discussed a 2022 book she edited, which gathered the perspectives and personal reflections of 20 past and present NMPs.

We previously hosted Anthea on this podcast in 2020 and 2021:

Mental health: Awareness, acceptance, and action (A conversation with NMP Anthea Ong)
“Are we listening?”: Coalescing around downstream and upstream mental health action (Anthea Ong; COVID-19, one year on)
#AreWeOkay and the proposal for a Mental Wellbeing and Sustainable Development Office in Singapore
