The Executive Committee
The Executive Committee (EXCO) of the Singapore Student Association comprises the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Event Directors, External Co-ordinators and Social Chair. As leaders of the organization, each EXCO member is fully committed and responsible to build a close-knit community of students associated with Singapore. Together, the EXCO conceptualizes ideas, plan and execute events that you can look forward to!
Here are the personal profiles of the 2023โ 2024 EXCO:
Xi Wen Han
President
Major: Economics & Data Science
Wen Han is the resident Chinese mom/dad/uncle of SSA (buy 1 get 3 free). Mr. Han is a big foodie so if you don’t find him trying new foods, he’ll probably be cooking up some Masterchef level dishes to share. Catch him at RSF lifting weights, throwing people in judo, or catching pesky flies that plague Berkeley (man’s a frog ig). Hit him up if you ever feel homesick or want a gym bud!
Loh Yih Hang (Apollo)
Vice President
Major: EECS & Philosophy
Yih Hang is (unfortunately) the dad of the exco. Find him hiking the fire trails and enjoying the beautiful sunset view, eating at his favorite Noodle Dynasty or planning a day trip into SF for the latest activity in town. He is also a pro at hair careโ hit him up for the best tips.
Dylan Tay
Secretary
Major: Civil Engineering
Dylan is a badminton fan, but he has lost at every tournament he’s been in. At Berkeley, you can find him in the dark labs at Davis Hall or trying to run up the fire trails and Clark Kerr track. He likes chocolate, especially the ones with mint inside. His favourite Char Kway Teow is the one with spinach at Golden Mile Food Centre. Dylan is also one flexible man — a pro at putting his legs behind his head, amongst other stunts!
Zhao Jia Hong (Tyler)
Treasurer
Major: CS & Statistics
Jia Hong likes exploring the American outdoors, watching movies, and trying to maintain a regular reading habit. He dreams of doing a cross-country road trip across the US, and has an unhealthy habit of procrastinating work until there is a fire under him. Though always innocent, he unfortunately tends to attract law enforcement — ask him about that, and challenge him to a match on Telegram quizarium (especially in the history category ;)!).
Denyse Chan
Events Coordinator
Major: Political Science & Business Administration
Denyse, our resident new member welcomer and former national fencer, believes she is incredibly cool. That is probably the result of her severe tiktok addiction — please be nice to her as she grapples with it. Denyse is a pro at inspiring people to push their limits, and at doing nothing, which she claims is more difficult than initially appears.
Elden Yap
Events Coordinator
Major: CS & Economics
Elden loves hiking, kayaking and most other outdoor sports! If youโre looking to be basic like him and learn more about doing CS and/or Economics, he’s always free to chat. Elden is our resident pro at making a fool out of himself (we love a self-aware king!), and will happily share about his love of climbing rocks and other structures and barriers!
Nicole Hong
Events Coordinator
Major: Media Studies & Data Science
Nicole is our resident investigative journalist (but only for tea) and is always stirring up excitement. If you want to live as exciting of a life or learn what itโs like to be in the ASUC, she is your go to person. She loves meeting new people (much more so than the average person) so feel free to reach out and chat with her!
Amanda Leong
External Coordinator
Major: Economics & Data Science
Amanda is always down to do anything. Whether or not she has project work or a midterm the very next day, she will drop it all to hang out with you if you bring boba. If you ever happen to bump into her on campus, you will probably find her trying to talk to squirrels or watch sunsets. She’s currently competing with Michael to be SSA’s biggest finance bro. Let us know who you think wins the competition, and hit her up for CS61A tuition!
Tan Xuan En
External Coordinator
Major: Economics & Computer Science
Xuan En is our resident nerd (call her that — she takes pride in it). She falls prey to Taylor Swift ticket scams, will spend too much money on matcha, and wears animal t-shirts that scare her everytime she sees herself in the mirror (she hates animals). She is also insanely smart, will go on long walks with you, and is always down to bully Elden. Hit her up for a good time!
Javan Leong
External Coordinator
Major: MCB & Business Administration
Javan is an instigator and an enjoyer of strange Berkeley clubs. Sources say he is always nerding out with Denyse. But when he’s not studying, you can find him cheffing it up (limited cooking facilities in the dorms clearly did not limit his abilities). After his extra lengthy decade-long pre-med and pre-haas grind (he is a real Kevin Nguyen your mom would compare you to), we might just catch him on the next season of Masterchef. Say hi when you see him!
Michael Ng
Business Chair
Major: EECS & Business Administration
Michael is interested in AI and other “cool stuff” ๐๐๐. In his free time he enjoys hanging with friends, going on spontaneous adventures around the bay, and playing sports! He’s involved in golf, floorball and business and tech organisations on campus. He is SOOO stoked to meet y’all :), and is a pro at last minute hyperproductivity and rage cage.
Josephine Chow
Publicity Chair
Major: Molecular Environmental Biology
Josie loves traveling to different places, shopping, eating good food, and working out. You will never see her without a smile except when she is studying for her chemistry midterm : ( She is also an insanely talented oboist and you should definitely get tickets to her next performance.
