    A leading thinker of our time whose knowledge and understanding of history and current events are outstanding and immensely valuable. Coupled with an excellent intellect and a sensitive understanding of human society and politics, his views are not only thought provoking but also highly persuasive.

    George Yeo shows that religion is just a means for one to reach moments of enlightenment and not an end in itself. He is a Teochew and Catholic from Houguang/Punggol, the area in Singapore where I lived my childhood days. I fully understand his philosophy and outlook in life. Thank you George for sharing.

    1:03:00 Thailand Canal: This would not be a issue of not building, if not for Singapore giving US Bases on Singapore.
    The underlying issue is Singapore providing US military bases to block the Mala Straits at USA pleases.
    For the Thai, it offer them better access in profiting in servicing a shorter route for all trade. It's a win-win for Thai ddd
