Watch the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Singapore giving his views and taking questions at the St Gallen Symposium. He is a brilliant man who got to where he is today because his country believes in meritocracy, multilingualism, and good governance. It is an open and safe society, not bound by race, colour or creed, where there are opportunities for the individual to excel and reap the rewards of hard work and diligence..–Din Merican
