He Ruiming

Co-founder, The Woke Salaryman

Singapore

He Ruiming is the co-founder at The Woke Salaryman, a personal finance blog that helps Singaporeans make better financial and life choices through their educational webcomics. From starting the page as a side hustle in April 2019, The Woke Salaryman now commands over 400,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram and has the pleasure of working with clients from the government, banking and fintech industry.

Through their accessible webcomics, The Woke Salaryman attempts to break down complex and seemingly boring topics of the financial and economic world for the curious. Rui Ming writes the stories but sometimes he attempts to draw too. You can find his stick figure illustrations on his IG stories.

Ultimately, Ruiming believes that people are financially stable, they are more able to make rational and wiser decisions. Not just for themselves, but for society.

Ask Ruiming about how their blog went viral with one webcomic, how they juggle between their freelancing responsibilities and their side hustle, and of course, any financial advice you need.

Prior to founding The Woke Salaryman, Ruiming was previously the Creative Lead at 99.co, Content Lead at BLKJ, and produced content at Mothership.sg.
