Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tyres and treasure: Stamford Tyres' Dawn Wee talks about the soul of business
Q: Do you have a wisdom for them? To share with them?
Dawn shares that she fully committed to her husband's vision, mortgaging her home and giving him the funds needed to buy the business, underscoring the belief that wholehearted partnership and faith can turn dreams into reality.
Is Singapore losing the world we relied on? An intelligence chief's candid take
Q: What should business leaders focus on to stay resilient amid these geopolitical shifts and information overload?
Read wisely and rely on trusted news sources with high standards; recognize that global businesses are geopolitical actors and should prioritize resilience, diversification of partnerships, and clear governance to manage uncertainty and maintain strategic flexibility.
Is Singapore losing the world we relied on? An intelligence chief's candid take
Q: From where you sit, is Singapore catching up to the reality your clients have been living with or has something genuinely shifted in terms of our risk and exposure?
Singapore is in the frame like any other country; its risk is real but it's structurally better governed and less exposed than many peers due to its developed governance and dense commercial hub, while remaining a focal point for cyber and geopolitical risk given its concentration of tech and financial sectors.
Iran: Not Our Fight, Still Our Problem
Q: What does all of this mean for Singapore and where do we sit in all of this?
Singapore faces higher energy costs, exposure to global supply shocks, and the need to adjust policies and personal behavior while maintaining commitments to international law and a rules-based order; diversification of energy sources and resilience planning are central to staying secure and competitive.
Iran: Not Our Fight, Still Our Problem
Q: Why is this going to be so hard to resolve?
Because historical, cultural, colonial legacies, and differing national narratives about the region shape competing interpretations of history, and any resolution requires reconciling these deep-seated views while balancing external pressures and internal interests.
