Hartley Muze is a true-blue Singaporean, though he occasionally faces questions that many of his fellow citizens don't encounter. His parents migrated from Tanzania in 1990 and later became Singaporean citizens. Born and raised in Singapore, Hartley experienced all the milestones typical of Singaporean men. Notably, he became the first person of African descent in the country to qualify for the prestigious Naval Diving Unit during his national service. Through his unique journey, Hartley has come to appreciate the importance of cultural adaptability, patience, humor, and the strength of Singapore’s multicultural society.
