candidate says with a laugh. "But I've got nothing to hide. I'm here because
I want to contribute to our society."
Ms Jegan, 30, was born in the northern Sri Lankan city of Jaffna. But with
the civil war raging, her family moved to Somalia, Tanzania and Malaysia
before finally settling in Sydney as refugees when she was eight. Her first
career was as an investment banker with Macquarie Bank and JPMorgan for
eight years.
