Prof. Tan Tai Yong delivered his second lecture as IPS’
6th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. He considers the context within which Singapore "became" a Global City, the pre-existing regional networks, commercial and cultural, that connected Singapore to the world, and the people who were part of Singapore’s cosmopolitan past.
Reflections on the Citizens’ Jury for the War on DiabetesThe Ministry of Health (MOH), together with IPS, conducted the first Citizens’ Jury (CJ) in Singapore. Participants were tasked with the challenge of coming up with community-based and community-driven recommendations to combat the problem of diabetes. This
report by IPS reflects on the implementation and impact of the CJ, specifically the extent to which it fulfils the five key principles of deliberation — inclusivity and diversity, fairness and equality, knowledge gain, efficacy (internal, external and political trust), and applicability.
