Shaun Teo
President

Shaun was a business student at Ngee Ann Polytechnic and his business background comes in useful for the operational and business aspects of Migrant Voices. Having a keen interest in music and the arts, he became part of Migrant Voices after the CD project as he had a keen interest in art for humanity. This means making art accessible to all segments of society, in the belief that art is probably one of the safest and most educational ways for people to express themselves. He is currently serving his National Service and the resident conductor of a local community choir called Vox Camerata, which also happens to be Migrant Voices' partner for the choral programme.

Susy Bungsu
Vice President

Susy, who is a secretary by training, volunteered withThe Necessary Stage’s M1 Fringe Festival 2006 as a Liaison Officer. She met Sha, who was involved in the CDproject and together with Alvin Tan of The Necessary Stage and a few other Exco members, saw the need for a platform for the migrant workers to express themselves artistically. She does not believe in a top-down approach in teaching but rather on a peer-to-peer platform. Her vision is for the migrant workers and the Singaporean society at large to integrate and share their artistic skills with one another. She actively networks with other organisations in the hopes of bringing this vision into reality.

Susy is currently in the education sector, with a focus on events management. Aside from holding a Secretary position in Migrant Voices, she is also in charge of volunteer management.
