About the Author

Unstoppable is the story of Zaibun Siraj – who, propelled by passion, purpose and staunch values – worked tirelessly for the betterment of society. Nothing could stop her from realising her aims.

Read how her early days were shaped by her parents. Her father was an educator while her mother was an activist who achieved much in helping women in the 1950s and 1960s.

The author also tells of her days at Raffles Girls School and the University of Singapore, the friends she appreciated, and the love of her life. She writes about her work as an educator, training academics, school teachers, army officers, and other professionals. The book describes her contributions to society, in particular with the National Youth Achievement Award Council, AWARE, and the National University of Singapore Society.
“A truly inspirational tale from a living icon. Reading this book felt like being offered the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary life of service and conviction. Zaibun Siraj’s name should be in our collective consciousness for her contributions to the championing of women’s rights and the legacy she has created for younger women to forge their paths and find their dreams.”
—Pooja Nansi, poet, author and former director of the Singapore Writers Festival

“Inspired to achieve with joy. Reading her story, you’ll be inspired to believe that you can achieve whatever you set your heart and mind to, and do it with happiness.”
—Patricea Chow, Expat Living
