How do language and culture shape one's identity? 2. What are the implications of Singapore's social mobility? 3. How do writers and artists in Singapore navigate the art landscape?

Filmmaker Boo Junfeng shares the challenges he faced as director of NDP 2021 (Singapore's National Day Parade) during a pandemic, yet ultimately how he created a celebration that resonated at home, on screens, inspiring all of Singapore. Drawn to film in secondary school, mesmerized by the make-believe of Oscar films, he was encouraged by his parents to take a “well-trodden path”. Junfeng though, “not a motivated student”, did not do well academically, until he found his way to Ngee Ann Polytechnic, where “it was the first time I ever topped my class”. He celebrates the availability of more pathways to express creativity now, and explores how his passion for filmmaking lies in his interest to understand people, their psyche, and the human condition – all evident in his debut film, “Sandcastle” and follow-up “Apprentice”. Wanting to humanize topics and stories, wondering if people will find value in his work, explaining why Singapore filmmakers find “a cocoon in the art house circuit”, and why Passing the Power on PinkDot and LGBTQ is important to him: “For many people, it's just an issue. For me, it's an identity. It is who I am.” As his thoughtful sharing makes us all consider our stories, the ones we tell ourselves and others, he closes with passion, purpose, and peace, “Taking the time to listen tends to be a better use of my time,” says Junfeng, aptly Passing the Power on to you.

A fascinating and inspiring episode awaits as Paige talks with Professor Kishore Mahbubani, a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute at NUS. Kishore served as Singapore's ambassador to the UN, not once but twice, and was the founding dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.

In this episode, he shares, “The natural capital for the Asian Century, the 21st century, will be Singapore, for we are the only city where the four major civilizations operating in Asia come together.” He discusses public servants, politicians, how Singapore can continue its impressive growth, and how his childhood of “real poverty” taught him resilience. He credits his weekly visits to Joo Chiat Public Library, where he checked out four to five books, as what “helped me become a government scholar, ambassador to the UN, and founding dean of LKY School of Public Policy”. Kishore advises all to question everything, never accept conventional wisdom, and how the biggest gift in his lifetime was education.

Known as Singapore's grand dame of Nyonya food, Violet Oon shares with Paige the significance of learning to cook in the 1960s with her aunties, because her career-woman mother did not cook “and there were no videos then!”, and how she proudly represents Singapore's food heritage around the world. Violet discusses her career, as a reporter, then food critic, turned culinary magazine publisher, before opening her first food store at Takashimaya, which failed. Today her famous namesake, Violet Oon Singapore, offers dishes rooted in Singapore's rich history. Hear how as an indulged, only child, Violet was sent to a convent boarding school, since her parents did not want her prepared for a life of luxury, but instead ready for World War III. A proponent of not over-planning, Violet encourages creativity, and says as the world evolves, so must we. You'll love her advice to stop with the selfies, and instead video your grandmother cooking! A heart-warming, thoughtful episode awaits with multi-hyphenate Violet and Paige, as together, they Pass the Power on to you.
