Candid. Intimate. Passionate. Compassionate. Peng Kee reflects on his life as a politician and shares personal leadership principles gleaned from this journey. A must-read for anyone interested in politics and leadership.
-- John Ng, Chief Passionary Officer, Meta Consulting, and author of books on leadership
It is a book on practical lessons in leadership. The author wrote about his political experiences and distilled from them leadership lessons which I find rather useful. What inspired me is to lead with the heart and that life is to be lived fully.
-- Cherly Sim, Director, Infocomm Technology Division People's Association, Singapore
I like and admire Ho Peng Kee. He has made several important contributions to Singapore: in legal education and in government. He is a leader with integrity and compassion.
-- Professor Tommy Koh, Ambassador-At-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
I first met Ho Peng Kee when he entered Parliament in 1991. He was quietly effective and knew his subject matter well ... His leadership style was to outline key objectives of projects assigned to us but left it to us to complete the task ... Peng Kee's empathy and compassion for others was clear to all who knew him. He treated everyone with the same kindness and concern ... It was a rewarding nine years for me working with Ho Peng Kee. I learnt from him not only how to look at the big picture and get the priorities right but also the important values of trust, empathy, compassion and respect for others, regardless of their position.
-- Lau Ping Sum, Former MP/Executive Director PAP HQ and PCF HQ
I worked with Ho Peng Kee in several key areas viz as Chairman of the Committee on Sporting Singapore (COSS), as Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, and as Speaker of Parliament. In my regular interactions with Peng Kee, I had always found him sincere and upfront. In our working relationship, I found him dependable, enthusiastic and energetic in whatever tasks he was handling. He knew his subject matter well, was always a team player and a pleasant colleague to work with.
-- Abdullah Tarmugi, Former Speaker of Parliament/Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports
Associate Prof Ho is a passionate builder of consensus for team actions. He knows his 'grounds' well. He also has consummate patience and the ability to bring potentially different mindsets on board with him.
-- Kong Mun Kwong, Member, Home Team Volunteer Network Steering Committee; and longstanding grassroots leader and volunteer
Children growing up in Yishun remembers Professor Ho Peng Kee well. Known to us as 'Uncle Ho' or 'Professor Ho', his is a familiar face, welcomed by residents in our neighbourhoods. His down-to-earth, easy-going and unassuming personality earned him the admiration and respect of many younger residents. Many appreciated his effort in trying to remember our names ... Till today, his appearance in the constituency still attracts a lot of attention as residents eagerly greet and meet him ... Such is the intimacy he enjoys with Nee Soon East residents.
-- Yvonne Yap Vice-Chair, Women's Executive Committee Nee Soon East Community Club
My Journey in Politics: Practical Lessons in Leadership shares the author's journey in Singapore politics from 1991 to 2011. Tracing what he and different groups of people he worked with across the government ministries and agencies, grassroots organisations and charitable groups both volunteers and staff did together to make Singapore a better and safer place, it also shares his leadership style in action.
Associate Professor Ho Peng Kee is a former Singaporean politician. He was the Senior Minister of State in the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Home Affairs when he retired from politics in May 2011. For 20 years (1991-2011), he had looked after Nee Soon East (first as a ward in Sembawang GRC and then as a Single Member Constituency).
Ho was formerly an academic, and at one time, the Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Law at the National University of Singapore (NUS). His academic research interests included alternative methods of dispute resolution, commercial transactions, the law of contract, and law and society.
Post-politics, he has returned to the Law Faculty, NUS as an Associate Professorial Fellow, and also chairs the Home Team Volunteer Network Steering Committee at MHA, and the Advisory Committee on Community Mediation at MinLaw. Appointed recently as a Justice of the Peace, he remains active in community service, serving as Board member, Adviser, and Patron of several not-for-profit and charitable organisations promoting causes such as mediation, youth leadership and entrepreneurship, fighting children's cancer, sports, and looking after the elderly and intellectually disabled. An Elder of Mount Carmel Bible-Presbyterian Church, he studied at Anglo-Chinese School and National Junior College before completing a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the National University of Singapore, and a Master of Laws (LLM) from Harvard Law School.
He has been married to a retired lawyer for 35 years. They have three grown-up daughters.
