About
Why We Ride The Rainbow
Welcome to the Unique Wisdom Festival!
You have just stepped into a digital festival unlike any other, a space where heartfelt stories, quiet courage, and creative expression come together in celebration of Singaporeans across the world.
This is not just a showcase. It’s a living invitation to reflect, discover, and connect.
From the US to Europe to Asia, each journey featured here is a unique rainbow ride, and you’re warmly invited to walk among them.
Our Origin & Inspiration
The festival grew from the ripple of one book, the Unique Wisdom collection launched in 2024.Readers shared how the stories helped them feel seen, connected, and no longer alone.
That response lit a question in us:
What if we created a space to gather more dreams, more reflections, more creations? A space that feels alive, just like a real festival.
Then came the spark of inspiration, a quote by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew:
“There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure… Find that rainbow, go ride it.”
His words became our theme, our compass, and the festival’s heartbeat.
Qualities We Celebrate
As you explore, you’ll notice recurring themes woven throughout every voice, image, and idea:
