Kishore Mahbubani tells Michelle Martin why he thinks Singaporeans are disconnected from the movers and shakers of our history, and that this is worrying. How could his memoir bridge this disconnect? Why was he taken to task by Lee Kuan Yew? Is the noted diplomat's own success replicable in today's Singapore? How does he think Asia can respond to a US that is redefining its place in the world order? Join Michelle Martin as she speaks with one of Singapore’s most respected thinkers -Professor Kishore Mahbubani. Mahbubani’s message is clear: Asia’s moment is here - are you ready?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kishore Mahbubani is widely regarded as one of Asia's most well-known diplomats, commentators, and strategic analysts. Having grown up in poverty in Singapore in the 1950s, however, there was nothing preordained about Mahbubani's success.But over the course of the second half of the twentieth century, he would go on to become one of the most recognizable and revered diplomats of his generation.Mahbubani served in Cambodia, Malaysia, and the United States. He was Permanent Secretary at the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs and twice served as the country's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. He later served as founding dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.Mahbubani chronicles his life journey in a new memoir titled, Living the Asian Century: An Undiplomatic Memoir.Mahbubani's journey mirrors Singapore's own metamorphosis and the book sheds equal light on Mahbubani's life as it does the Asian country's own improbable evolution.To talk more about the book, Kishore Mahbubani joins Milan on the podcast this week. They discuss Kishore's childhood poverty, his “Indian soul,” and his lifelong interactions with former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. Plus, Milan and Kishore discuss the explosion of cultural self-confidence in Asia and what this means for the emerging world order.Episode notes:1.

We welcome back to Kopi Time Kishore Mahbubani, distinguished diplomat, academic, and writer on geopolitics. Our conversation, recorded in Mumbai, kicks off with India’s promise and challenges vis-à-vis the US and China, with the former turning increasingly protectionist and latter facing a myriad of domestic and external challenges. Mahbubani sees no room for emotion in geopolitics, expecting to see India follow its pragmatic instincts to pursue industrialisation with capital and technology from both superpowers. We then discuss Trump 2.0, the future of multilateralism, and Asia’s place in the great power rivalry. Always sharp and insightful.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the 20th century was the American Century then, for Kishore Mahbubani, the controversial Singaporean writer and diplomat, the 21st century is the Asian Century. In his new memoir, Living the Asian Century, Mahbubani - Singapore's longtime permanent representative at the United Nations - offers what he calls an “undiplomatic memoir” of Singapore's rise from an impoverished outlay of the British empire into the world's wealthiest country. It's quite a story and Mahbubani tells it in his own bluntly undiplomatic way. Kishore Mahbubani is a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore (NUS). Mr Mahbubani has been privileged to enjoy two distinct careers, in diplomacy (1971 to 2004) and in academia (2004 to 2019). He is a prolific writer who has spoken in many corners of the world. In diplomacy, he was with the Singapore Foreign Service for 33 years (1971 to 2004). He had postings in Cambodia, Malaysia, Washington DC and New York, where he twice was Singapore's Ambassador to the UN and served as President of the UN Security Council in January 2001 and May 2002. He was Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Ministry from 1993 to 1998. As a result of his excellent performance in his diplomatic career, he was conferred the Public Administration Medal (Gold) by the Singapore Government in 1998. Mr Mahbubani joined academia in 2004, when he was appointed the Founding Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School), NUS. He was Dean from 2004 to 2017, and a Professor in the Practice of Public Policy from 2006 to 2019. In April 2019, he was elected as an honorary international member to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which has honoured distinguished thinkers, including several of America's founding fathers, since 1780. Mr Mahbubani was awarded the President's Scholarship in 1967. He graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Philosophy from the University of Singapore in 1971. From Dalhousie University, Canada, he received a Master's degree in Philosophy in 1976 and an honorary doctorate in 1995. He spent a year as a fellow at the Center for International Affairs at Harvard University from 1991 to 1992. He has achieved several “firsts” in his two careers. He was the Founding Dean of the LKY School, the founding Director of the Civil Service College, the first Singapore Ambassador to serve on the UN Security Council, the first Singaporean to publish articles in globally renowned journals and newspapers like Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the New York Times and the Financial Times and co-authored articles with distinguished global thought leaders like Kofi Annan, Klaus Schwab and Larry Summers. Mr Mahbubani has never shied away from taking on new challenges. He is also a prolific author, having published nine books: Can Asians Think?; Beyond the Age of Innocence; The New Asian Hemisphere; The Great Convergence; Can Singapore Survive?; The ASEAN Miracle (co-authored with Jeffery Sng); Has the West Lost It?; Has China Won?; and The Asian 21st Century, an open access book which has received over 3 million downloads. His memoir, Living the Asian Century, will be released in August 2024. Mr Mahbubani has received significant international recognition for his many accomplishments. The Foreign Policy Association Medal was awarded to him in New York in June 2004 with the following opening words in the citation: “A gifted diplomat, a student of history and philosophy, a provocative writer and an intuitive thinker”. He was listed as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines in September 2005, and included in the March 2009 Financial Times list of Top 50 individuals who would shape the debate on the future of capitalism. He was selected as one of Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers in 2010 and 2011. In 2011, he was described as “the muse of the Asian century”. He was selected by Prospect magazine as one of the top 50 world thinkers for 2014.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

In this episode, we're pleased to have had the opportunity to talk to Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean former diplomat who was Singapore's representative to the UN in the 1980s and 1990s, and later Dean at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at National University of Singapore. Mahbubani is the author of ten books on Asia and the world, most recently Living the Asian Century (2024).Though the book has a broad scope, we focused more generally on China in this conversation, given our remit. Mahbubani talked about the legacy of colonialism in Asia; how Singapore became a success story; China's model of non-interference in the region; its peaceful intentions overseas and at home; and anti-China bias in the West — though we pushed back on all points in a lively discussion.The China Books Podcast is a companion of China Books Review, a project of Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations and The Wire, a digital business platform that also publishes The Wire China.

The seasoned Singapore diplomat Kishore Mahbubani is bullish on India and Asean but says the US should not be underestimated. Synopsis: Every third and fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests. Veteran Singapore diplomat Kishore Mahbubani, never shy about sharing his views, is bullish on India and Asean, believes China will not invade Taiwan unless the island declares independence - and warns that no one should underestimate America.  In this episode, Mr Mahbubani says Europe should also revise its notions of being a global economic powerhouse, and the United Kingdom needs to give up its seat on the UN Security Council so India can take it. Asean has been successful as a regional organisation in preventing Brexit-style breakaways as well as wars in the region - and by 2030 its combined economy will be bigger than Japan's, Mr Mahbubani contends.  Pressure on China will grow regardless of who occupies the White House after America's presidential election. In terms of tactics, Kamala Harris would be predictable, but Donald Trump would not.  Mr Mahbubani, currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore, is among other things former Singapore Ambassador to the UN, former Permanent Secretary at Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and founding Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.

Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, returns to Kopi Time to give his take on China-US relationship, the war in Ukraine and its many facets, and where Asean and India stand in all this. The ever erudite former career diplomat pulls no punches, pointing out poor national strategies, short-term oriented decision making, and hypocrisy on foreign and economic policy across industrialized economies.  He worries about US presidential elections next year, although he sees little course correction on US policy toward China, regardless of the outcome. The conflict in Ukraine, however, could be profoundly affected by the US election outcomes. Mr Mahbubani also weighs in on China's geo-strategic response so far, room for cooperation on climate change, the expansion of Brics, and the outlook for Aaean.  We end with a a prognosis on Singapore. The transcript of this chat will be worth saving. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is it futile to resist China's superpower status? Is it time for the United States to live with it?Depending on the answer, the world could be heading towards more stability – or chaos.Kishore Mahbubani was a Singaporean diplomat for more than 30 years and served as president of the United Nations Security Council. He tells host Steve Clemons that the US should get accustomed to a multipolar world it can no longer dominate.Mahbubani argues that the "Asian century" has already begun and that Washington should not allow issues such as Taiwan to ruin their relations.

Abstract: Studying long-term biological processes such as the colonization of aging epithelia by somatic mutant clones has been slowed by the lack of suitable culture systems. Here we describe epithelioids, a facile, cost-effective method of culturing multiple mouse and human epithelia. Esophageal epithelioids self-maintain without passaging for at least a year, recapitulating the 3D structure, cell dynamics, transcriptome, and genomic stability of the esophagus. Live imaging over 5 months showed epithelioids replicate in vivo cell dynamics. Epithelioids enable the study of cell competition and mutant selection in 3D epithelia, and how anti-cancer treatments modulate the competition between transformed and wild type cells. Epithelioids are a novel method with a wide range of applications in epithelial tissues, particularly the study of long term processes, that cannot be accessed using other culture models.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Kishore Mahbubani, the author of "Has China Won?: The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy", to appraise the strengths and weaknesses of the US and China, as well as to discuss the risk of any confrontation between the superpowers. Kishore Mahbubani is a Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore (NUS). Mr Mahbubani has been privileged to enjoy two distinct careers, in diplomacy (1971 to 2004) and in academia (2004 to 2019). He is a prolific writer who has spoken in many corners of the world. In diplomacy, he was with the Singapore Foreign Service for 33 years (1971 to 2004). He had postings in Cambodia, Malaysia, Washington DC and New York, where he twice was Singapore's Ambassador to the UN and served as President of the UN Security Council in January 2001 and May 2002. He was Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Ministry from 1993 to 1998. As a result of his excellent performance in his diplomatic career, he was conferred the Public Administration Medal (Gold) by the Singapore Government in 1998. Kishore Mahbubani joined academia in 2004, when he was appointed the Founding Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School), NUS. He was Dean from 2004 to 2017, and a Professor in the Practice of Public Policy from 2006 to 2019. In April 2019, he was elected as an honorary international member to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which has honoured distinguished thinkers, including several of America's founding fathers, since 1780. Kishore Mahbubani was awarded the President's Scholarship in 1967. He graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Philosophy from the University of Singapore in 1971. From Dalhousie University, Canada, he received a Master's degree in Philosophy in 1976 and an honorary doctorate in 1995. He spent a year as a fellow at the Center for International Affairs at Harvard University from 1991 to 1992. He has achieved several “firsts” in his two careers. He was the Founding Dean of the LKY School, the founding Director of the Civil Service College, the first Singapore Ambassador to serve on the UN Security Council, the first Singaporean to publish articles in globally renowned journals and newspapers like Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the New York Times and the Financial Times and co-authored articles with distinguished global thought leaders like Kofi Annan, Klaus Schwab and Larry Summers. Kishore Mahbubani has never shied away from taking on new challenges. He has also been a prolific author, having published seven books: Can Asians Think?, Beyond The Age Of Innocence, The New Asian Hemisphere, The Great Convergence, Can Singapore Survive, The ASEAN Miracle (co-authored with Jeffery Sng) and Has the West Lost It?. Kishore Mahbubani has received significant international recognition for his many accomplishments. The Foreign Policy Association Medal was awarded to him in New York in June 2004 with the following opening words in the citation: “A gifted diplomat, a student of history and philosophy, a provocative writer and an intuitive thinker”. He was listed as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines in September 2005, and included in the March 2009 Financial Times list of Top 50 individuals who would shape the debate on the future of capitalism. He was selected as one of Foreign Policy's Top Global Thinkers in 2010 and 2011. In 2011, he was described as “the muse of the Asian century”. He was selected by Prospect magazine as one of the top 50 world thinkers for 2014. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kishore Mahbubani, veteran expert on geopolitics and presently Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, talks about the urgent need for constructive engagement with China to avoid the risk of a lose-lose outcome for the world. A pragmatic, trade-off oriented strategy to deal with China would help achieve peace and prosperity for all, while ideologically-driven confrontations would only keep escalating matters, in his view. As always erudite, Mahbubani spans global history and geography to draw in lessons for policy makers and non-government observers alike.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a hiatus, we return with a brief introduction to the thought and influence of JA Hobson, whose 1902 work "Imperialism" forms the intellectual pivot around which Pettis & Klein's "Trade Wars Are Class Wars" (2020, Yale University Press) presents its central thesis: inequality within countries intensifies trade conflicts between nations. This is the first in a multi-part discussion on Pettis & Klein's thoughtful book, a polemical take on the roots and dangers of global trade imbalances. Connecting this research to our last discussion on Mahbubani, we ask: How does the macroeconomic picture painted by Pettis & Klein contribute to our understanding of the growing rivalry between the US and China? Jason King provides the music you hear in After the 'End of History.'  After the 'End of History' is part of the Hawks & Sparrows project. 

Abrimos esta Imprensa semanal com LE POINT que faz a sua capa com  a foto de Xi Jinping e o dia em que a China comandará. Num livro que destabiliza, o grande pensador de Singapura, Kishore Mahbubani, analisa como Pequim  pode muito bem ganhar a nova guerra fria. No seu livro, "O dia em que a China vai ganhar, o fim da supremacia americana," Mahbubani, antigo embaixador de Singapura na ONU, considera vãs e perigosas as tentativas americanas de travar a emergência da China como novo número um mundial. Sublinha também que a Europa tem um papel importante a desempenhar para impedir que a rivalidade dos dois gigantes se transforme num confronto devastador. Numa entrevista ao LE POINT, Kishore Mahbubani, afirma que é demasiado cedo para dizer quem dos Estados Unidos e da China ganhará, mas não é muito cedo para afirmar que a China pode ganhar. Para os americanos, habituados sempre a ganhar, a ideia que podem vir a perder é inconcebível. Mas é evidente que um país como os Estados Unidos que apenas tem 250 anos de existência pode inegavelmente ser vencido por uma civilização de 4 000 anos, afirma, o antigo embaixador de Singapura na ONU. Mas, o mesmo teórico de Singapura, que nos anos 70 já era diplomata e advertia para o facto de não ser possível uma vitória da União soviética, mostra-se outra vez prudente e considera que os Estados Unidos podem voltar a ganhar, pelo que o seu livro tem um capítulo alertando Xi Jinping, para nunca subestimar os Estados Unidos. Mensagem explícita igualmente no seu livro, em que o intelectual de Singapura, Kishore Mahbubani, cita um dos maiores teóricos chineses do pensamento estratégico, Sun Tsi, aconselhando: "quem conhece o outro e se conhece a si mesmo em 100 combates nunca será vencido; quem não conhece o outro mas conhece a si próprio ganhará metade das batalhas e quem não se conhece a si mesmo e não conhece o outro, será sempre derrotado", acrescenta, LE POINT.  Vacinas e máscaras, o naufrágio democrático em França Por seu lado, L'EXPRESS, faz a sua capa com testes, vacinas e máscaras, o naufrágio democrático.  No ministério da Saúde,  Kafka está em todos os andares. A gestão da Covid pôs a nu a loucura burocrática francesa e o ministério da Saúde está na primeira linha. Como explicar esta incapacidade crónica do Estado em reagir rapidamente na gestão da Covid? Quer sejam máscaras, testes ou vacinas, cada etapa da resposta à epidemia virou um naufrágio para a burocracia francesa. Cerca de 30 responsáveis de primeiro plano entrevistados pelo semanário L'EXPRESS, reconheceram que o funcionamento da admistração pública falhou face à pandemia. 12 meses de Covid, os vencedores de um ano de folia, destaca, CHALLENGE's. A 17 de março de 2020, com o primeiro confinamento, a França tomava consciência da gravidade da pandemia. Depois, o mundo foi abalado e os números e indicadores económicos foram desconectados da realidade. "Estamos em guerra", dizia na televisão o Presidente Macron. Foi o começo de um ano louco, em que milhares de milhões de dólares foram injectados em planos de recuperação económica. Esta crise lançou para a pobreza, 90 milhões de indivíduos, enquanto os mais ricos ficavam cada vez mais ricos. Jeff Bezos, viu um aumento de 65% da sua fortuna que num ano disparou para 191 mil milhões de dólares. Elon Musk, fundador de Tesla, tornou-se o homem mais rico do planeta com uma fortuna de 195 mil milhões dólares. Em França, o governo procura uma medida milagrosa para incitar os franceses a gastar os 110 mil milhões de euros que economizaram durante este ano da Covid. Uma das pistas do executivo francês é encaminhar esse dinheiro para empresas sem fundo próprio, através de fundos de investimentos catalogados relançamento pelo governo. Os economistas pelo contrário não vêem soluções passíveis de criar milagres para mobilizar rapidamente a poupança dos franceses. Ou melhor, vêem um milagre, que é vacinar o mais rápido possível os franceses e restaurar a confiança no futuro, acrescenta, CHALLENGE's.  Enfim, imobiliária, mudança de era, é a capa do semanário, L'OBS. Mais espaço, mais ar livre, mais bens à venda nas principais aglomerações do território. Menos precipitação, menos tensão e loucura dos preços. Tudo muda no mercado imobiliário. Menos os franceses que continuam a apostar na pedra da casinha, um refúgio inestimável sobretudo nestes tempos de pandemia, nota, L'OBS.  

Episode XVIII takes a detour from Mahbubani's "Has China Won?" and looks closely at the military side of the burgeoning strategic conflict between the American hegemon and its rival to the East. Focusing on three texts by a group of naval experts, we discuss how Alfred T. Mahan has been central to China's grand strategy for the Pacific and how its military planners' view of the First Island chain, a simple but unfortunate geospatial reality, forms a critical aspect of their conception of China's place in the world. Finally, to Mahbubani's question, "Can the US make U-Turns?" we test the question against military expenditures on outdated platforms and weapons systems in the Pacific. We head into our final discussion on "Has China Won?" by sharing some thoughts on how these military-strategic works have reframed our earlier, perhaps overly optimistic view of China's successes. On the next episode, we'll continue exploring that question through the lens of economics, centrally focused on Pettis and Klein's "Trade Wars are Class Wars." Works under discussion: Michael J. Green: By More Than Providence T. Yoshihara and J. Holmes: Red Star Over the PacificJerry Hendrix: At What Cost a Carrier?  Thanks for listening. Jason King provides the music you hear in After the 'End of History.' 

Part II drills into Mahbubani's discussion of "how other countries will choose" in the coming showdown between China, a burgeoning regional hegemon, and the United States, the ostensibly failing empire. From there we review last year's debate between Mahbubani and John Mearsheimer which took place virtually, in the midst of the pandemic's first wave, at the Center for Independent Study. We're particularly interested in how each thinker frames his views on military conflict, counterbalancing and alliance building. We also share some thoughts on who won the debate, noting the stark differences in outlook -- somewhat panglossian in Kishore's case; hardcore realist in John's -- and revisit the ideas of our old friend Christopher Layne, whose recent work in Foreign Affairs sheds classical neorealist light on the debate. Join us next week for a discussion on Pettis and Klein's "Trade Wars are Class Wars." Jason King provides the music you hear in After the 'End of History.' 

Episode 16: Sacred Cows, Institutional OrthodoxiesKishore Mahbubani, author of last year's "Has China Won? The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy," is an academic and diplomat, serving as Singapore's delegate to the UN for over ten years. On this week's episode of After the 'End of History' we introduce his work on the stakes of China's rise, which presents an "inevitable but avoidable" clash vis a vis American hegemony. It should be clear by the end of this week's discussion -- the first part of three -- that he answers his title's question with a resounding yes, challenging the institutional orthodoxies of American foreign policy thought. Mahbubani believes that America lacks the strategic vision necessary to engage an undeniably rising China in a rational and geopolitically productive manner. But, perhaps more damning, it also behaves inflexibly, failing to temper its ingrained "exceptionalist" thinking to concede a second-place or even equal position of economic, military and political power in the world. This failure to make "U-Turns," among other problems in American foreign policy with respect to China, provides the basis of our discussion this week. Our material for this series of conversations also includes a debate between Mahbubani and John Mearsheimer. The third part will consider the recent economic work of Pettis & Klein, whose acclaimed "Trade Wars are Class Wars"  helps makes sense of the rise of inequality in the age of globalization, a question that places China's steady integration into the international market front and center. Thanks to Jason King, who provides the music that you hear on After the 'End of History.'

[Intro: 7:21] In this episode, I speak with Hong Kong citizen, bilingual stand-up comedian, and activist Vivek Mahbubani. Vivek provides a much needed ground-level view of the historic and ongoing uprising in Hong Kong these past six months. We begin with Vivek providing some details of his background as an ethnically-Indian person born and raised in Hong Kong, with all the challenges that come with being treated as an outsider in this complex society. Vivek then moves on to provide some much needed context on the months-long protests in Hong Kong, dubbed the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) movement. This explanation includes how it started, what his participation in the protests has been from its beginning, the historic scale of the demonstrations, and the overall character and spirit of the resistance Hongkongers are actively engaging in against their government (both locally and from mainland China). Vivek does a spectacular job sussing out the nuances of this movement, as Western media tends to overly-simplify and flatten the nature of this movement in countless ways, with outside supporters and detractors of this protest movement focusing on very specific details that only serve to reinforce each of their respective narratives on the aims of the movement. As someone who understands and speaks fluent Cantonese and English, Vivek is able to more fully explain how this leaderless movement continues to organize itself, including how tactics have been developed to effectively counter increasingly violent and intrusive police repression, as well as what to make of the seemingly pro-American and pro-British displays by demonstrators within the protests. Vivek ends this discussion by elaborating on the recent District Council election on November 24th, in which "pro-democracy candidates swept aside their pro-establishment rivals in a political tsunami." (http://bit.ly/2Yu1NBb) What does this election mean for the future of the movement? Vivek gives us an indication what that may be in this interview.  Vivek Mahbubani is a Hong Kong-bred bilingual stand-up comedian performing in both Cantonese and English.

Kishore Mahbubani is a living legend when we deal with Southeast Asia, India and ASEAN. He is one the brightest mind and I had the honor of having him in my podcast. Kishore Mahbubani is a living legend when we deal with Southeast Asia, India, and ASEAN. He is one the brightest mind, and I had the honor of having him in my podcast. Kishore Mahbubani has been a supporter of a significant role of India in ASEAN, but the issue, according to his judgment, is very delicate. There are problems in the short term and great opportunities in the long term. In the short term, ASEAN got disappointed towards India because it didn’t join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. India is domestically preoccupied with various challenges, and it can’t divert its attention to other goals. However, the history showed us that, until the 18th century, the biggest economies in the world were China and India, and only in the last two centuries the West has taken off the two Asian nations. China has come back very fast, and India will come back slowly but steadily. In 2050, China will be the first economic power, and India will be number two. Professor Mahbubani also speaks about ASEAN and how, routinely, it has been considered as a failing and declining organization. Two years ago, when Indian outperformed China, western media were jubilating. This year, despite ASEAN has slowed a bit, is performing better than India. No western media took note of it. Despite regular ups and downs, ASEAN forward trajectory has not stopped. Professor Mahbubani considers ASEAN as the second most successful international organization in the world while he believes the EU the best one. ASEAN and EU, according to Mahbubani, have a natural partnership. However, there is a caveat: EU must treat ASEAN with respect. The case of the palm oil and the various sanctions EU is targeting ASEAN countries are the brightest examples of a western organization trying to patronize over different political and economic cultures.

要邀請到這位大師到我的訪問，不得不多謝中文大學的免費講座，讓我有機會認識了這位中學師兄。就讀大學的各位，麻煩好好利用這些學校帶來的優勢，畢竟學費也要二十多萬。沒讀大學的各位也不用灰心，你不用交學費也能「偷取」這些優勢的。 從我口中去否定香港冇機會的說服力不大，出自這位香港人口中卻完全相反，不只是因為他的背景，更是因為他的說話技巧。印度裔棟篤笑藝人Vivek Mahbubani（呀V）父母不懂中文，深知這個語言隔膜在香港很難生活，於是從小就迫使Vivek和他姐姐就讀本地學校，學習本土語言，由小三完全很差，到小四開始能夠用中文溝通，至小六完全流利，多得父母的決定。自此把被標籤為少數族裔這個劣勢，以流利廣東話化為優勢。 Vivek本來在Asso（副學士）的成績不太好，只是「希望」考入大學。當他成功開到大學時，他意識到不能再以「希望」作處事態度，要得到別人得不到的結果，必須要做與別人不同的行為，開始看書自修。後來，他在IT上的知識比他的教授更好，得到教授的賞識，教授一有寫網站的生意便轉介給他，自此接觸了一條打工以外的路。（題外話，Vivek在2004贏了數碼港的網頁設計大賽冠軍） 畢業後一邊做大學的助理教授，一邊接自己的IT生意。自小喜歡棟篤笑的呀V在2007年報了香港得棟篤笑大賽，贏得了廣東話冠軍。他為了分享給朋友看比賽片段，上載到YouTube後被多人分享，後來一有任何比賽或表演機會，呀V都會主動參加及找一些酒吧合作，一步一步由興趣發展成一門賺到錢的職業。 如今，Vivek致力在香港推廣棟篤笑文化，給香港人帶來更多娛樂選擇，亦給予社會一個對少數族裔香港人的反思。 Quick Tips: 早期Vivek為不同顧客和商戶提供免費的寫網站服務和棟篤笑表演，條件是其他人問或分享給其他人時需表明給他支付了$10000，讓其他人覺得這個是公價，再從這$10,000給予其他人折扣，令人覺得「賺了」，再一步一步建立自己的身價。（假若邀請他表演的話，都可聯絡我。） #K008TREPRENEUR #AskKongtrepreneurShow #Kongtrepreneur

Journalist Stephen Glass just seemed to have a knack for being in the craziest scenarios surrounded by the most quote-worthy subjects. He wrote about working for a psychic hotline, finding a George H. W. Bush cult and attending a hacker's convention to the delight of his editors at The New Republic. Trouble was, it was all a steaming pile of horse doo. Glass made it all up. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly discuss their own reporting experiences while shattering Glass's tale of lies and Kelly finds a new motivation for working out.

Kishore Mahbubani—professor in the Practice of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore and author of "Has the West Lost It?: A Provocation"—joins the EWI podcast to discuss how the West's centuries-old status as the center of global wealth and power is being challenged by the rise of Asian powers—namely China and India—offering a fresh perspective on today’s geopolitical realities. Mahbubani states that "the West is not preparing itself for a world in which it can no longer dominate," and recommends specific structural adjustments to reflect changing circumstances.

Kishore Mahbubani is a writer, professor, and a former Singaporean diplomat who served twice as ambassador to the UN. In his new book The Great Convergence: Asia, the West, and the Logic of One World, he argues that the world has seen more positive change in the past 30 years than in the 300 that preceded it. The global middle class is growing. Poverty levels have fallen;  major wars have decreased and people are better educated and better informed. The world is connected in new ways. Mahbubani thinks we are at the dawn of a new age.My conversation with Kishare Mahbubani: var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

A lecture by professor Kishore Mahbubani about his book The New Asian Hemisphere; the irresistible shift of global power to the east. Kishore Mahbubani (born 1948, Singapore) is dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. From 1971 to 2004 he served in the Singaporean Foreign Service, ending up as Singapore's Ambassador to the United Nations. In that role he served as president of the United Nations Security Council in January 2001 and May 2002. The lecture was part of the 23th Globaliseringslezing organised in Amsterdam on the third of November 2008.

Kishore Mahbubani's latest book tackles a topic that should be of wide interest in America: the rise of Asia. Mahbubani, former ambassador of Singapore to the United Nations and one of Foreign Policy magazine's top 100 public intellectuals in the world, will shed light on several important trends affecting us all. "This is a splendid book [that] must be read by every Western policymaker; it is a tour de force." - Jagdish Bhagwati, Columbia University economist
