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.

About the Author

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.
