Ambiga’s life story is an extraordinary tale of resilience and empowerment. With a degree in Counselling from Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), she embarked on her career at the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA), where her passion lay in counselling ex-drug offenders and aiding their reintegration into society. Her dedication to this cause was unwavering. Ambiga is also an accomplished Bharatha Natyam Dancer.
However, life took an unexpected turn when multiple sclerosis confined Ambiga to a wheelchair. Yet, instead of surrendering to adversity, she harnessed her determination and transformed her personal challenges into a source of inspiration for others. Through her radio and television appearances, she expanded her sphere of influence, touching countless lives.
