This roundtable jointly organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, Temasek Foundation, Singapore International Foundation and Singapore Red Cross aims to discuss our role in the region, and how we can best contribute to communities and causes beyond Singapore. What can we as individuals and Singapore as a nation do to make a difference in Asia? This roundtable will bring together NGO representatives, officials and academics active in humanitarian work, as well as business people and entrepreneurs to share experiences, perspectives and visions.
