Abstract:

Do not take Singapore for granted — this is something that diplomats who come here to serve the interests of their countries realise from day one. It doesn’t take long to comprehend that it is here where a simple truth finds its bearings: a state's strength does not derive from its size, or the amount of troops it harbours, but the intellectual capacity of its leaders and its people.
