The recent activities of Chen Hui Hui, Tracer Wong, Wu Kaishen, Hong Zhao Rong, and Tang Miaoling illustrate how diverse and intentional these returns have becom

There may be model answers in examinations, but life itself offers none. This was the central reflection behind Model Answer  (《模范答案》), the latest publication by Singapore theatre practitioner and writer Lim Hai Yen, which was officially launched on 14 December 2025. Rooted in lived experience rather than theory, the book grew out of Lim’s journey accompanying her three children through different stages of life — and, in the process, re-examining her own understanding of fami
