"Nowhere to go but up: Nicole Seah - Her World Monday, May 19, 2014
In an emotional Facebook post last November, opposition party member Nicole Seah, 28, spoke of a year filled with self-doubt, physical exhaustion and death threats.
She tells Ankita Varma how it took a major meltdown for her to love herself again."

A BLOGGER is facing legal action for alleging that CPF funds have been "misappropriated".
In a letter of demand sent through his lawyer to Mr Roy Ngerng of the website The Heart Truths, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called for the blog post to be removed from Mr Ngerng's website and his Facebook pages. If he fails to do so, he could be sued for defamation."
2 young Singaporeans taking an interest in the political landscape of Singapore.
Ms Seah was thrust into the limelight in the last GE and was instantly made a 'superstar' of sort. She came across as genuine and sincere to me. Convincing in that she does care about the less fortunate, the disadvantaged and those that need more helps from the government due to their circumstances and not due to their laziness or inertia.
It was NOT easy at all to suddenly have ALL the limelight shone on you and your every moves scrutinized.
I am glad that she seemed to have gotten through the worst part of that traumatic and turbulent life. She still has many more good years to come. Hopefully she will stay engage and be an even stronger advocate and candidate for change. Change for the better.
Mr Ngerng is not someone I am familiar with though I must confessed a few friends had sent his articles or links my way :-) Suffice to say that when his writing attracted the attention of the Prime Minister, it says something about how many people probably may be or might read what he wrote.
At the same time, getting sued for controversial, in this case, allegedly libellous statements is not a good way to go about making changes. At least not in Singapore. Yet.
Will the question about how our CPF is being invested ever be, or as the authorities had maintained already been, answered will still be in the minds of some, or many, doubters.
I am not fully understanding how the CPF fund is been invested. All I know is that I do get some money in my CPF. It is still there for my retirement. A saving for me.
The pertinent question really is: how many other Singaporeans still need to be convinced that our CPF money is safe despite the many reassurance by the government? If there are still many, perhaps the government will need to explain a lot more.
A bit like the attempt to help the 'pioneer package' beneficiaries to understand how that work via many channels and forms.
Lessons to be learned?
