Marie Claire Malaysia|April 2019

Psychologist, psychoanalyst, model, host and Chair of the board of governance for Amnesty International, Dr Anjhula Mya Singh Bais is more than just a triple threat

Her Voice Is Her Superpower

Ask Dr Anjhula Mya Singh Bais how important it is to stay humble and she will quickly turn the question around to ask you, “What reason does one have NOT to be humble?” It’s not often that a question like this elicits a response like this, but Dr Anjhula urges me to think of the Buddhist concept of dependent origination – that everybody in the world is interconnected, everybody needs one another to survive, so what other reason do you need to stay humble?

“To get a cup of coffee at Starbucks, farmers in Ethiopia will have to plant and harvest the coffee, a truck driver will have to drive the beans to Addis Ababa for a pilot to fly them to Malaysia. The men and women at the immigration and customs in Kuala Lumpur will have to scan the beans for any misconduct before they are delivered to a shop where a server unpacks them so the barista can make that delicious cup of coffee.”
