Vast land to farm in Singapore? We all know it\u2019s relatively scarce \u2013 that\u2019s why urban gardening<\/a> is in on the rise these days \u2013 but Ivy Singh-Lim is one of the resilient ones, and a force of nature. Owner of Bollywood Veggies and Poison Ivy in the hidden Kranji Countryside<\/a>, this famously outspoken gentle warrior has been working hard to preserve her 10 acres of farming land since 2000 and she also opens her gardens to visitors and diners who swing by the Poison Ivy caf\u00e9. <\/p>\n

\"\"
If she could, this boss would be the Queen of Singapore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, I\u2019ve had the fortune of conducting countless interviews with all sorts of characters, but nothing could\u2019ve prepared me for my meeting with the gentle warrior. From greeting me with a pocket knife she whipped out like a forest ninja, to letting our photographer snap money shots of her waving middle fingers (sorry, you won\u2019t see it here), and even taking pauses in between to introduce me to her adopted stray dogs that run freely around the farm; I didn’t quite know what to expect next.<\/p>\n

But what left the greatest impression on me was her blas\u00e9 yet venomous personality, hilarious candour, and hostile social and political stances that I\u2019ve tried my very best to transcribe in an MDA-approved manner (sorry Ivy, my neck\u2019s on the line), In this extremely personal interview, she sheds light on the sad state of our community, the saving grace of millennials, kidnappers, and how she doesn\u2019t give a hoot about your Instagram feed.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 things I\u00a0caught from my\u00a0chat with the gentle warrior. I\u00a0hope you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ivy first greeted me with her pocket knife. No pressure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She\u2019s known how to use a knife since she was a kid<\/h3>\n

The story is very simple, darling. In 1949, my father was one of the biggest land-owners in this country, and back then, I grew up with servants who trained us to be armed and resilient. At the time, there were only rich landowners like my Papa, farmers, the British, and bloody kidnappers. When you went to the toilet, you had to say, \u201cI\u2019m going to have a piss or a sh*t\u201d. A piss was one minute, a sh*t was two. And if you weren\u2019t back in three minutes, it was presumed you were kidnapped. If my servant was looking after Mas Selamat [a notorious fugitive who famously escaped from imprisonment in 2010], he would never have escaped.<\/p>\n

At 68, she is strong and beautiful<\/h3>\n

I didn\u2019t really have to work for a living, but I was brought up to lead a useful life. My father used to tell me, \u201cWhy do you think you were born into this world?\u201d. So every morning, I ran towards the sun, gazed at it, and asked what was to be my role in life. I would go to the bathroom, look into the mirror, take all my clothes off and tell myself, \u201cYou are beautiful and strong!\u201d. I am 68 years old, and I still think so.<\/p>\n

\"\"
“Do you have the courage to make a difference? If you say no, I don\u2019t agree with you”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She knows her purpose in life<\/h3>\n

I think I was born to do something for my country \u2013 to make it a place where people love their home, feel happy to be here, and to ride the wave towards total enlightenment.<\/p>\n

She feels that most Singaporeans are stuck in a rut<\/h3>\n

Singaporeans used to live an idyllic, beautiful life, until the government stepped in and turned everyone into a rat. And instead of allowing rats to have rest, they\u2019re pushing the cage wheel faster and faster; and if this doesn\u2019t stop, the rats will die. That\u2019s where we are now \u2013 a non-thinking society; a system of drones and donkeys.<\/p>\n

\"\"
“All these women keep sending me pictures of what they eat. Who cares about what you eat??”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She almost got into politics, if it didn\u2019t result in her incarceration<\/h3>\n

When I was 40 years old, I was gonna go into politics. But if I had done it then, Lee Kuan Yew would\u2019ve jailed me. The universe protected me \u2013 my youngest brother had retina detachment, my father passed away, and I had to go home to run the family business instead. I considered going into it again at 50, but Lee Kuan Yew would\u2019ve still locked me up \u2013 he was very much alive then.<\/p>\n

Also, going into politics means you need to have a lot of energy, time, and focus. And you gotta kiss the *ss of your party leader. If I went into politics, I would\u2019ve started my own political party. But do you know how hard it is to find nine other people with the same mentality\u00a0as you??\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

She still has faith in Singaporeans, especially millennials<\/h3>\n

I feel that people nowadays are brought up with an enlightenment in them. They are looking for altruistic things to do; they want to do good. I think I see a great enlightenment on the horizon, especially with millennials. Take my secretary, Manda, for example \u2013 she\u2019s a smart and rich kid, but she\u2019s focused, and wants to do the right thing. She\u2019s not interested in being a prostitute of the system. She\u2019s also the secretary of the Farmer\u2019s Association, which is helping us develop this beautiful gem called the Kranji Countryside.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
You won’t find a character stronger than this gung-ho Gentle Warrior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That said, she really doesn\u2019t care about your social media feed<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with being reliant on technology. But I\u2019m a creator; I need to have a free mind to think of what\u2019s next. I shouldn\u2019t have my nose in a bloody computer looking at all of this rubbish.<\/p>\n

All these women keep sending me pictures of what they eat. Who cares about what you eat? Who cares about your cat? Who cares about what mountain you\u2019re on? I never travel anymore; you see one mountain, you\u2019ve seen them all. They\u2019re all sitting down doing sweet nothings, doing all this \u2013 what I call \u2013 monkey entertainment.<\/p>\n

I get that, when you are young, you need to be tech-savvy, but you shouldn\u2019t be on it 24\/7. If you can use technology to assist your work, that\u2019s good. But you shouldn\u2019t let it swamp your life. It\u2019s a disease. It\u2019s an addiction.<\/p>\n

“I dare to say anything and everything \u2019cos I don\u2019t give a shi* about anyone”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She wants to turn the Kranji Countryside into Singapore\u2019s Napa Valley<\/h3>\n

I truly see a lot of hope in this 1% of the land. To put things in perspective, 2% of our land is under golf courses, 12% is under roads, 15% is under housing, and 20% is under the army \u2013 but who is gonna attack us?? If only our stupid planners and the URA could see what Swan Valley and Margaret River are all about. If they can see that kind of potential with\u00a0their mind\u2019s eye, they will keep this 1% and make it a gem of a countryside. The Kranji countryside is critical for the survival of this country.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t care if she hurts your feelings<\/h3>\n

If I could, I would get rid of every evil man, and every stupid woman who listens to them, here on the red dot. Women are always very anxious about what men think of them. Do I care about what my husband thinks of me? I couldn\u2019t give a damn! I know what I am. I know what he should think about me. And if he doesn’t agree with me, he can go to hell. I don\u2019t care about his opinion, but I care about his feelings; I try not to hurt his feelings. I\u2019m a powerful and brave woman, and nobody tells me what to do. If you can\u2019t understand that, too bad for you!<\/p>\n

\"\"
It’s tough love between Ivy and her husband<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She thinks everyone has the potential to be a God<\/h3>\n

I wish we all had more courage; everyone always thinks about the consequences. What scares me is the total brainwashing of people, to the point where they all become stupid and succumb to rules and regulations that they have no courage to go against. All good, young people with the potential to make our country great have become frightened.<\/p>\n

But as for me, I dare to say anything and everything \u2019cos I don\u2019t give a sh*t about anyone. I am God; I can create, destroy, or I can nurture. This is what a lot of people have forgotten. When God kicked Adam and Eve out of Eden, He never removed their intelligence and ability to do what He could do \u2013 though I don\u2019t know if God is a man or woman or whatever. In my opinion, we are all Gods.<\/p>\n

Do you have the courage to make a difference? If you say no, I don\u2019t agree with you.<\/p>\n
