Singapore Lecture
The Singapore Lecture Series was inaugurated in 1980 by ISEAS (then the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies) with a founding endowment from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) which has since been augmented with a generous donation from Mobil Oil Singapore.
The Singapore Lecture is designed to provide the opportunity for distinguished statesmen, scholars, and writers and other similarly highly qualified individuals specializing in banking and commerce, international economics and finance and philosophical and world strategic affairs to visit Singapore. The presence of such eminent personalities will allow Singaporeans, especially the younger executive and decision-makers in both the public and private sectors, to have the benefit of exposure to – through the Lecture, televised discussions, and private consultations – leaders of thought and knowledge in various fields, thereby enabling them to widen their experience and perspectives.
