The 23-year-old, who was in Malaysia to give a series of talks on youth activism in remembrance of the bloody Tiananmen Square 1989 crackdown in China, has organised various protests she calls “events” since 2013 to raise awareness of the alleged mismanagement of the CPF by the Singapore government.

As a result of her vocal views on these subjects which she blogs about and posts on Facebook, the financial consultant has been sued for defamation by various organisations several times but won each of those cases.
