About Elaine Leong:
“I graduated from Princeton last year. I have some experience in investments, division, and now also in some multinational banks. I have written a lot and also co-authored six different books so far.
Kaiwen and I’s first book was Singapore’s Lost Son and that was a biography about his life, how he made it from a drop-out to a millionaire Princeton PhD holder. Kaiwen was a social entrepreneur and created social enterprises to help the underprivileged but also make it sustainable. Before he chose which underprivileged group to help he did some extensive research and found out that the people who need the most help may not be the people who first come to mind. People who do need help and are not receiving it were actually ex-convicts. And what he found was that these people were making a lot before through illegal means and they were also used to being in a position of authority. He decided to train these people and teach them how to be entrepreneurs and help channel their energy to be productive. When the success stories from this project hit the newspapers people started approaching him and expressed interest which is how the book started.” – Elaine Leong
