Tommy Koh's Political Lessons: Principles, "Makan Diplomacy", and Singapore's First-Gen Leaders
<p>Welcome to Season 4 of Political Prude: The Podcast! We begin our season with a sit-down conversation with Professor Tommy Koh, exploring Singapore’s political landscape through one of the most unique vantage points possible. As a diplomat, lawyer and public servant who worked closely with Singapore’s First-Generation leaders, Professor Koh offers reflections that help us understand our nation’s political development in a far more textured and human way.</p><p>In this conversation, we unpack the principles that shaped his approach to public service, what he learnt from leaders such as Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee and S. Rajaratnam, and why relationship-building, or what he calls “makan diplomacy”, remains essential in politics today. Drawing from stories in his new memoir, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man, we also hear about the defining moments he witnessed and the values he hopes younger Singaporeans will carry forward.</p><p>If you're interested in partnerships, have general enquiries, or want to launch a podcast, reach out to us at <a href="mailto:zodapop@zyrupmedia.com"><u>zodapop@zyrupmedia.com</u></a>!</p><p>Follow on Instagram:</p><p>Joel Lim – @limxjoel</p><p>ZYRUP Media – @zyrupmedia</p><p>Zodapop by ZYRUP Media – @zodapopsg</p><p>Chapters: </p><p>00:00 Start of Episode</p><p>02:54 Why Call Prof. Tommy Calls Himself an "Ordinary Man"</p><p>05:12 Memories of Pre-War Singapore </p><p>09:00 Predicting Singapore's Survival as an Independent Nation</p><p>11:02 Challenging Lee Kuan Yew </p><p>13:03 Navigating Difficult Situations</p><p>13:55 Being Genuine and Speaking Up</p><p>15:22 Influence of Parents & Love for the Arts </p><p>17:29 Working with Singapore’s Founding Fathers </p><p>19:02 The Private Side of Lee Kuan Yew </p><p>20:30 Singapore’s Culture of Excellence</p><p>21:07 Dr. Goh Keng Swee Singapore’s Most Valuable Player </p><p>25:19 Lessons from S.
