Seminar Abstract
COVID-19 has exposed global communities to various vulnerabilities and severely impacted socio-economic resilience. Governments and organisations have done a remarkable job at rendering support to communities to adjust to the new normal. Yet, future-proofing Singapore for pandemics and other crises will require a rethink, drawing lessons from COVID-19. Professor Wong Heang Fine, Group Chief Executive Officer, Surbana Jurong Group, tells us about the Group’s new approaches to aiding communities in responding, recovering and preparing to meet future crises squarely.
