Much has been written about the famed Singapore civil service today as a model of efficiency and meritocracy. In comparison, there is little on how it was built up, or on the first-hand experiences of the pioneer group of local public servants.

The civil service did not start from a blank slate at independence – it is in fact the longest existing institution in Singapore. A series of critical events during the transition to independence came to define the relationship between public servants and political leaders, and these have shaped policymaking in Singapore to this day.

This video is a webinar to learn how Singapore has built up a world-beating civil service from the 1950s-60s until now with Hoe Yeong Loke, editor of Speaking Truth to Power and Adrian Kuah, director of the Futures Office of National University of Singapore.

How did politics become so poisonous in America? Journalist Kenneth Walsh articulates the unique character of the current political moment, and the forces that have created it, by comparing and contrasting the Trump and Biden presidencies with administrations of the past.

Walsh also profiles some of the key political “attack dogs” who have shaped the modern landscape: the campaign strategists, activists, and media figures who have played outsized roles in political campaigns. Drawing on his long career as a journalist specializing in presidential coverage, Walsh argues that due to the complex, often conflicting nature of American government, the angriest, most decisive voices can command media, voter, and legislative attention and thereby maintain and consolidate their power. This results in frustration, alienation, and cynicism, and ultimately a diminishment of voter participation that can reinforce this vicious cycle and lead to electoral disaster.
