Born and raised in Pek Kio, Singapore, he is the grandchild of Hokkien shopkeepers. His research interests lie at the intersections of modern Southeast Asian history, environmental history, and animal history. Before Honolulu, Ruizhi served as an associate research fellow at the S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies. He obtained his Master’s degree from the National University of Singapore. Ruizhi enjoys the company of animals, especially cats. --------- Sponsored by the Conflict and Peace Specialist --- #CAPS #PeaceEducation #PeaceSpecialist #Peacebuilding #PeacebuildingInitiatives #Dialogue #CommunityDialogues
