SUMMARY:A Talk by Dr. Chee Soon Juan: Singapore’s Slow Unraveling?
DESCRIPTION:Beneath Singapore’s gleaming façade is a model propped up on rent-seeking\, tax-haven strategies\, and the grip of a single party. In this talk\, Dr. Chee Soon Juan discusses Singapore’s politico-economic vulnerabilities with insights from his new book Unbroken: The Power of Resilience. Drawing on both structural analysis of the system and personal experience of isolation and vilification\, he questions if the model can remain viable in the years ahead\, or is it headed for unravelling? The talk is of interest to all who are thinking about the relationship between neoliberalism and authoritarianism. It is especially relevant to Singaporeans abroad\, who must decide what role they will play in shaping the country’s next chapter.

SUMMARY:Ideas for Cutting Bureaucratic Hurdles and Getting Things Done in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Mayor Mamdani’s Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) has put forward five promising ballot proposals to make city government work better\, faster\, and more efficiently. But there are numerous other opportunities to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles that slow government down\, increase costs\, and make it harder to get things done in New York—many of which do not require charter changes. Identifying and reducing these frustrating\, costly\, and time-consuming bureaucratic rules and processes will be increasingly important at a time when the city faces massive policy challenges but also growing fiscal constraints. \nThis forum will explore specific opportunities to reduce outdated\, unnecessary\, and redundant bureaucratic hurdles across city government—from approvals at the Department of Buildings and FDNY to contracting\, procurement\, hiring\, and other core government processes. It will be a solutions-focused conversation that delves into rules and practices ripe for improvement and advances practical ideas for how city leaders can make these changes happen. It will discuss the ballot proposals put forward by COGE.
