o "Miles in the Park" is a rhyming children's picture book that teaches environmental awareness and civic engagement through young protagonist Miles. Miles discovers litter in his favourite park, speaks up at school, faces doubt from a classmate, gains encouragement from his teacher, and bravely presents at a town hall. His speech inspires the community to add recycling bins, gradually cleaning the park and showing kids that small voices can spark big change.

o Words Unspoken is an anthology exploring the power of speech in public policy through interviews with diverse contributors, including politicians, journalists, academics, and consultants. It examines how speeches influence governance, shape public opinion, and drive change in political arenas.
The book analyses what makes speeches persuasive—like emotional resonance in examples from Martin Luther King Jr. and Lee Kuan Yew—while questioning whose voices dominate amid social media noise. It critiques rhetoric's dual edge: forging connections and moral clarity, yet enabling manipulation through euphemisms or sensationalism.
Cultural norms impose unwritten speech limits to preserve harmony, especially in Singapore, on sensitive topics like race and religion. Digital platforms democratize discourse but favour viral clips over depth, urging responsible use to balance influence and accountability.
