Hi! My name is Daniel and I'm a Singapore-born resident of
Vaasa, Finland.

My wife and I have six school-age children. After graduating with a communications degree from an Applied Sciences University in Singapore, I spent several years in the mission field and on staff in my church. I also established several marketing and communications companies in Singapore as well as one of Singapore's leading online news outlets.In 2018, our family moved to Vaasa, my wife's hometown. Since then I have mostly been working with global startups and high tech companies in management and leadership roles. I'm a deacon in my local church.

What are your personal values?

I believe that:
We must defend the disadvantaged and the weak.
We must respect the equality and basic rights of all people.
Integration, internationality, and inclusion make society strong and peaceful.
We must care for each other on a personal level and not leave everything to systems and government.
We must treat each other with mutual respect, grace, compassion, kindness, and genuine love.

I find that the values that the party holds most strongly reflect my own values, and that values are the most important basis for political action.
We recognise:
The value and dignity of every person
That family is the heart of society
That we are all responsible for one another
That democracy means grassroots decision and determination
That a social and sustainable market economy is a just economy
Our role as responsible stewards of nature and the environment
The value and importance of international co-operation

I believe that making positive change requires work to be done at every level, and politics is not an exemption.

 

One of my big passions is to see internationals contribute to and integrate into Finnish society. We have the desire and the ability to do this even though we don’t speak Finnish or Swedish fluently yet, and I hope that English can be a good common base for everyone to build together while we learn the langauge.
