2014/15 IPS-Nathan Lecture Series: Lecture I by Mr Ho Kwon Ping

Politics and Governance The first lecture in the series is titled Politics and Governance and ponders the next decades of political administration in Singapore. It discusses the prospects of the People’s Action Party in the age of social media, and broadly sets out the historical trends that other dominant political systems have undergone. How should governance evolve as our democracy matures? Can our current model of governance benefit from any reforms? And what of our political system? Simply put, will there even be a PAP in 50 years time? 00:09 mins - Opening Remarks: Prof Tommy Koh, Special Adviser, Institute of Policy Studies 06:09 mins - Speaker: Mr Ho Kwon Ping, 2014/15 IPS Nathan Fellow 1:06:11 mins - Q&A chaired by Mr Janadas Devan, Director, Institute of Policy Studies Date: 20 October 2014 Time: 6.00 pm - 7.45pm Venue: Theatre, University Cultural Centre
