Science & Environment Correspondent

• Jan 2017 - Oct 2022

Environment and science correspondent with The Straits Times. Host of ST’s environmental podcast series, Green Pulse, which was officially launched in 2019. Recipient of both the Singapore Press Holdings Undergraduate and Graduate scholarships.I was part of The Straits Times team involved in the six-part Climate of Change feature, the largest journalistic feature undertaken by the paper to date, where correspondents fanned out across the globe to cover climate stories around the world. As part of the series, I covered the Day Zero water crisis in Cape Town, South Africa; and visited Raja Ampat, Indonesia, to document the resilience of coral reefs there against warming sea surface temperatures and bleaching.In July 2018, I also produced an investigative feature on the illegal wildlife trade in South-east Asia, a large hub for endangered animals and their parts. Singapore is a major transshipment hub for these parts, but its role has often been downplayed by the authorities. Following the publication of the feature, Singapore authorities seized three record-breaking shipments of pangolin scales and elephant ivory.To boost science communication on climate phenomena affecting South-east Asia, my colleague Mark Cheong and I traced the footsteps of El Nino across the Pacific Ocean. We documented the impacts of the phenomenon on Indonesia and the Galapagos Islands in this feature. Show less
