The Unspoken Policy exists because communication is not equally distributed. And where it is missing, everything else becomes harder to reach.

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING

Across every project, one belief: that the ability to communicate clearly and confidently should not be a privilege.

Why The Unspoken Policy Exists

The Unspoken Policy started with a simple observation: that the ability to communicate clearly and confidently, in the right language for whatever system you are navigating, is one of the most consequential things a person can have. And it is not equally available.

We are a youth-led organisation working across Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond to close that gap. Through Project Flare, Project Reperio, community casework, and research, we are building toward a world where no one loses access to what they are entitled to simply because they could not find the right words. That is the problem we are working on. And we think it matters.

What We Do

  • Project Flare

    Project Flare partners with Grace Orchard School to run communication workshops for students aged 7 to 18 with mild intellectual disabilities. The programme teaches public speaking, rhetorical techniques, and the confidence to advocate for oneself. Skills that mainstream education often delivers unconsciously, but that our students need to be taught deliberately. Because the ability to speak up for yourself should never be what holds someone back.

  • Project Reperio

    Project Reperio runs entirely online, delivering weekly academic and skills sessions to Rohingya refugee teens aged 14 to 18 in Johor Bahru (Malaysia), in partnership with Cahaya Surya Bakti. Stateless and without access to public schools, these students depend on a phone and a data connection for any structured learning. We work within that reality. For them, connectivity is not a convenience. It is the only door that is open.

  • Blog Writing

    The Unspoken Policy Blog covers public policy issues that matter but rarely make headlines, from civil liberties and digital governance to the economics of education and cross-border inequality. Updated regularly, each post is written for readers who want to understand how policy actually works, not just what it says on paper.

  • Thought Papers

    Our thought papers explore the intersections of philosophy, legislation, and economics through rigorous, question-driven essays. Topics have been submitted to competitions, including the John Locke Global Essay Competition, the Harvard International Economics Essay Contest, and the Peter Cane Legal Reasoning Prize. These are not academic exercises. They are attempts to think seriously about questions that do not have easy answers.
