The Saga Podcast Transcripts by Kelly Leow and Jasmine Ng
$45.00
March 2009. When 100 strangers arrived at a run-of-the-mill meeting for Singapore gender-equality group AWARE, long-time members sensed that something was wrong. Who were the mysterious women wresting control of this respected volunteer organisation? And what disturbing secrets united them? What happened next became the stuff of national legend: starting with an astonishing coup and culminating in an extraordinary demonstration of equality and justice.
First released in 2020 as an award-winning long-form narrative podcast—the first ever in Singapore—Saga captured the social and political reverberations, and electrifying plot twists, that defined this chapter in Singapore civil society history. Now The Saga Podcast Transcripts: Fury, Faith and the Fight for Justice in the AWARE Saga brings together in print the voices of those who lived it—the activists, observers and members of the public who found themselves swept into the storm.
This is more than a record of events. It is an intimately human story of power and resistance, courage and community—and a reminder of how fragile, and how vital, civic life can be.
