For Asians to prosper and help the world, they need to know their Asia strength, the cultural strength that we have, the uniqueness that Asia has, so by choosing LKY which is the most prominent school in Asia, I thought that I would be able to have that unique power/advantage in the international society. 

If Africa would prepare a pathway for a future that is vibrant for their citizens, it is important not only to have Western ideas and knowledge but also balance it with Asia – the next emerging economy of the World.

Studying here gives me the perspectives of international trade in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. Studying here is the best choice to gain knowledge and skills. That’s why I chose this university.

I wanted to study and understand policies in the Asian context so that I can take my knowledge and learning back to my country. Singapore is a success story and there’s a lot to learn. For the next few years, I see myself working for the government in India. 

The diversity of the classroom surprised me. Everyone comes from different parts of the world. This is something new to me. Upon graduation, students leave the school with brand new perspectives and strong networks. This will enable me to better serve my country, and make ASEAN a better place to live in. 

I knew that LKYSPP would expand my knowledge and broaden my horizons in international development, particularly in ASEAN and Asia. Upon graduation, I hope that I will be able to join a prominent organisation and be in a position of influence to come up with solutions for global problems. 

Asia’s growing, Asia is the place to be… There are very good schools in America, but schools that focused on Asia are limited. And so, this is the reason I came here.
