“What I've observed as a Singaporean in the UK, is that there is a much stronger motivation to deliver what you need to do in the short term in order to either win the vote or to benefit directly or indirectly in some way. Therefore... people are not so concerned about what happens in eight to ten years' time, because if it doesn't work out they are no longer here.” - Frven Lim 18:31

“If we are going to get beyond zero, what we need to do is appeal to everybody to find their own values, find their imagination for what they want for their grandchildren's grandchildren.” - Mark Bergin 22:03
