1) How is your team's vision different from the other team?
A good leader has to have a Vision and must be motivating enough to build unity, give direction and set priorities to its members.
From the start, our team vision is clear – Encourage friendships among members locally and globally.
To our team Mensa is not just a social club, we are a family. The Mensa Family.
We have summarize our vision, aim, and objectives in a short YouTube video below –

Objective 1 – Create opportunities and a conducive environment to encourage friendships among members locally and globally.

3) Does it matter if some of your team members did not get voted in?
Absolutely not, because they can still volunteer their service to Mensa Singapore in other capacity.
My team and I is willing to work with anyone that respect, support and value volunteers’ contribution. To us the volunteers are part of our Mensa family and shall be treated with respect and gratitude.
4) If #3 happens, what do you (the elected president) intend to do?
I am definitely able and willing to work with other members of the MC, after all I have been in the MC for 19 years and worked with four presidents.
