We are a group of final-year students from NTU’s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information (WKWSCI), Singapore. As part of our final year project, we are setting out to explore the impact of Myanmar’s economic liberation on foreign investors, with a focus on Singapore businesses.

The Team
Jasmine recently completed a six-month internship at Singapore’s financial daily, The
Business Times, where she mainly covered news about the economy, stock markets, companies and politics. She also spent a semester in Europe – an experience that has sparked her love for travel. Jasmine now splits her time between school and her work as a freelance journalist. She believes that good journalism can make the world think better. Krystal has previously interned at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) corporate communications department. Like sailing a ship into unchartered waters, she applied for the internship not knowing much about the dynamic industry. Six months later, she emerged with new knowledge and appreciation for all things maritime. One of her life mottos is to have an open mind to try new things. She hopes readers can join her on this journey of new experiences and encounters with the Burmese business community. Mark has done internships at Thomson Reuters and The Straits Times. While sitting in front of screens with live stock quotes bore many, he finds great joy in watching numbers change from green to red to black and back to green again. He sees financial markets as a giant puzzle that journalists should try to make sense of. Earlier this year, Mark visited Bhutan under WKWSCI’s flagship overseas reporting programme, GO-FAR, and has had his feature on the country’s laws and bans published in The Straits Times.
