4th IPS-Nathan Lecture Series: Lecture II by Mr Lim Siong Guan

Institute of Policy Studies - A podcast by Institute of Policy Studies - Sundays

Can Singapore Fall? As a young nation, we have focused our energies on building a strong, independent, and sovereign Singapore. However, after decades of unprecedented growth and prosperity, we now have to guard against the danger of complacency, ossification, and decline. It is timely to contemplate the possibility of Singapore’s failure. Mr Lim’s second lecture, “The Fourth Generation”, will ask what kind of First World Society we want to be, having achieved First World Economy status. Singaporeans across a broad spectrum have indicated that they would like to see a more gracious society. What are the values and qualities that we would need to adopt, and how can these help the country progress and manage its emerging social issues? 00.00 mins - Speaker: Mr Lim Siong Guan, 4th IPS Nathan Fellow 54.00 mins - Q&A chaired by Ms Kuik Shiao-Yin, Nominated Member of Parliament Date: 10 October 2017 Time: 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm Venue: Auditorium, Shaw Foundation Alumni House, The National University of Singapore
