Singapore needs to find its niche, achieve relevance, stick together and constantly implement policies with a human heart and human touch. This was Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan's takeaway from a book that collected veteran diplomat Chan Heng Chee's lectures on Singapore's place in a rapidly changing world. Launched yesterday at the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Bukit Timah campus, the book, World In Transition: Singapore's Future, was written in Professor Chan's capacity as the Institute of Policy Studies' (IPS) seventh S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. Her three virtual lectures were held in June and July last year by IPS, a research centre at NUS' Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.
