PAP’s letter to Zainab

Turning down opportunities of a life time, Zainab pursued her studies in effective communication in Europe and Australia with world class trainers.
Working with the founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, she learnt to develop a toolbox for emotional empowerment in the ever growing and changing material world. In her childhood, fear and hatred turned many to harbor  a ‘diseased heart’ drowned with the feeling of jealousy, with rudeness and deviant behaviour. Determined to clear her past ruled by fear and anger, Never A Victim is Zainab’s emotional journey into the break of the third millennium.
