Lead and learn

SMU alumnus and Assistant Director at the Competition Commission of Singapore Mr Poh Lip Hang, 28, relishes being a museum guide so much that he sometimes takes leave from his civil service job to conduct tours at the National Museum of Singapore. He volunteers with non-profit organisation Friends of the Museums, where taking charge of school groups is his favourite part of the job. Now, he guides once a month at the National Museum and heads its student programmes. The interactions on the job - with both young and old - keep him going. He says: "Older Singaporeans share interesting anecdotes growing up here during the 1950s and 1960s. I learn about their perspectives of Singapore and through them, see how Singapore came to be."
