POPULARITY
Freedom is the thing I think we love the most about living in our country like ours: democratic, pretty liberal. We fight, to protest, we argue, we debate. But unlike it seems most of the rest of the world, we don't get physical. We don't kill each other for our beliefs. We express ourselves and then we try find a solution. Look around the world section of your newspaper this morning. From the Middle East, to Africa, to Europe, to Georgia. To parts of America, even. And you'll see places falling apart at the seams or freedom crushed into a thousand pieces. We have in this country, for the most part, standards about how we don these things. We have boundaries. Two things that worry me about this. Protesters taking it too far as they did over the weekend and live streaming from outside the personal home of Member of Parliament. Their own personal home. Where their partner. Where their children visit. Where family friends stop by for a coffee. Their sanctuary. Their decades of family photos up on the walls. Their junk mail at the door. Some genius thought it'd be a great idea to get a mob outside a Senior Minister's home at the weekend. At nighttime. It's not a good idea. It never has been and never will be. They published his addresses. You might think you appear harmless with your flags and your balaclavas and yelling with your masks over your faces, but not all people outside of politics share this view. You can look scary, intimidating and threatening. So please carry on protesting - we're all free to do so but perhaps next time you stop and think about how far you're willing to take things and what that then think about heat that says about your as person. I think they should apologise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But what looked like a bold milestone from the outside was also the darkest chapter of her life. In Part One of this candid conversation, Pei Ling opens up about walking away from a stable consulting job, the backlash she faced as a “too young” candidate, and why she chose to fight for trust instead of attention.This is not a story about instant triumph.

Jeremy Au reconnects with Anthea Ong for a candid conversation on what it means to lead with integrity, empathy, and independence. They trace her journey from corporate leadership into the social sector and eventually into Parliament as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP). Anthea shares how she first declined the NMP role, then later accepted it after realizing that structural change especially around mental health and vulnerable communities required policy influence. She recounts her unconventional first speech in Parliament, starting with three collective breaths to bring mindfulness into the chamber. They discuss how debate still matters in a supermajority system, why recent mid-term resignations have damaged the credibility of the NMP scheme, and the need to rethink Singapore's political structures in light of global democratic shifts. Anthea also talks about her current work leading WorkWell Leaders, a nonprofit that helps CEOs prioritize employee wellbeing and lead more sustainably. 1. Anthea declined the NMP role in 2011 but said yes in 2018 after realizing that structural change, not just grassroots work, was needed to support mental health and social equity. 2. Her nomination came through the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, and she was selected despite thinking she had performed poorly in the final interview. 3. She made history by starting her first Parliament speech with a short breathing exercise to center presence bringing mindfulness into a space built for debate. 4. She used her platform to speak against discriminatory hiring practices, particularly those that asked job applicants to disclose mental health history. 5. She argued that even in a supermajority Parliament, debate still matters because it influences implementation, sets public tone, and archives dissent for future accountability. 6. She criticized the recent mid-term resignations of two NMPs who joined political parties, warning that it erodes public trust and turns the scheme into a talent pipeline. 7. Today, she leads WorkWell Leaders, where she works with over 80 companies to show how a CEO's personal wellbeing is directly linked to employee health and business performance.

In this podcast, we cover - 1. Interpreting Ambedkar for India today and in 2050 2. Understanding Ambedkar on gender, caste and his relationship with Gandhi 3. The intellectual history and multitudes of Ambedkar's work and writings Babasaheb Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, MA, MSc, PhD, DSc, DLitt, Bar-at-Law, is today among the most revered of Indians, his statues across the country second only in number to those of Mahatma Gandhi. In this new biography, Tharoor tells Ambedkar's story with great lucidity, insight, and admiration. He traces the arc of the great man's life from his birth into a family of Mahars in the Bombay Presidency on 14 April 1891 to his death in Delhi on 6 December 1956. He describes the many humiliations and hurdles Ambedkar had to overcome in a society that stigmatized the community he was born into, and the single-minded determination with which he overcame every obstacle he encountered. We are given insights into the various battles Ambedkar fought to make untouchability illegal, his disputes with the other political and intellectual giants of his era, including Gandhi and Nehru, and his determination to invest India with a visionary Constitution that enshrined within it the inalienable rights of the individual and modern conceptions of social justice. ‘In so doing,' writes Tharoor, ‘he transformed the lives of millions yet unborn, heaving an ancient civilization into the modern era through the force of his intellect and the power of his pen.' Deeply researched, searching, and insightful, Ambedkar: A Life offers readers a fresh and profound understanding of one of the greatest Indians who ever lived.

Canadian politician Melissa Lantsman is shaking up the Conservative party. She is the first LGBT and Jewish woman ever to be elected as a Conservative MP - replacing Peter Kent upon his retirement and defeating the incumbent Progressive Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament, Gila Martow, in the 2021 Canadian Federal Election. In the House of Commons, Melissa serves Thornhill, the community she grew up in. She is the Shadow Minister for Transport and Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transportation, Infrastructure and Communities. You may have seen Melissa on CBC's Power & Politics, and CTV's Power Play. Or you've listened to the radio show she hosts on 1010 AM. Melissa has also served as Communications Advisor to several cabinet members under former Prime Minister Steven Harper, and has worked in public relations and public affairs. On this episode, Melissa joins Janette to talk about her role, influences, riding, the Yonge Subway extension in York Region, the Canadian economy & inflation, today's Conservative Party & the upcoming leadership race, the war between Russia & Ukraine, and plenty more!

On this special bonus edition of The MeidasTouch Podcast, we speak with Ukrainian Member of Parliament Dmytro Gurin. Dmytro speaks to us from an undisclosed location in Ukraine about the horrors of the Russian invasion and what we can do to help. While it's great to chat with analysts and talking heads, there's nothing like speaking directly to a Ukrainian Member of Parliament to hear his thoughts, his needs, and truly understand his strength and his struggle. This is the first in a series of bonus episodes we will be releasing exclusively for our audio podcast listeners to highlight important voices we feel are not getting nearly enough attention in the mainstream media.
