I was invited to speak as a forum panelist at the "International Conference on Civilisational Dialogue 2025" organised by Universiti Malaya, KL, on 15 April 2025. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim delivered the keynote address, commemorating 30 years of civilisational engagement.

It's been a great privilege to meet the wonderful scholars, religious and civic leaders, and senior public officers in Wellington and Auckland for my trip to Victoria University of Wellington, NZ, as a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Applied Cross-cultural Research (2-14 April 2024).

A Big Thank you to Sir Peter Gluckman, Prof Harvey Whitehouse, Prof Colleen Ward, Dr Pushpa Wood, Rev Stephen King, Director of The Helen Clark Foundation Murray Bruges, Prof Joseph Bulbulia for the hospitality and thought leadership perspectives. I also like to express my gratitude to members of the Wellington Interfaith Council (equivalent of the Inter-Religious Organisation in SG), and the Centre for Applied Cross-Cultural Research for their hospitality and support. I look forward to having future conversations with these civic and academic giants of our time again.

Very privileged to interview Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for National Development, on Singapore public housing - an issue that affects many Singaporeans, and is at the heart of the state-citizenry social compact. This episode (in Chinese) was broadcast today (31 Oct 2023) on Mediacorp.
