Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Climate finance: Why the money exists but is not reaching projects
Q: What's missing between the money sitting in Singapore and the projects that actually need that money?
Maasdorp says Singapore can use its regional hub and convening role to bring financial institutions together, pool capital, and make projects more commercially attractive. Regional policy coordination is also needed to support climate investment beyond Singapore.
Climate finance: Why the money exists but is not reaching projects
Q: From where you sit, what are the biggest barriers to financing climate projects in the emerging and developed world?
Development finance institutions have dedicated climate funds, but much larger pools of institutional capital remain invested in traditional assets. Maasdorp says these institutions need to use their capital to attract commercial investors into climate projects.
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.
