Had a wide-ranging discussion at the virtual Aspen Security Forum yesterday evening, organised by The Aspen Institute. US-China relations was a major focus, but we also touched on the pushback against globalism and its impact on trade, and of course, the pandemic.
While US-China relations remain difficult, neither side should put the other down. Countries hope that both will engage each other, restore trust and avoid conflict. To deal with challenges like pandemics and climate change, all countries must work together. Unfortunately COVID-19 has not brought countries closer; in fact, often the contrary.
Glad that US leaders are actively visiting Asia-Pacific countries. There are many new opportunities for regional cooperation, such as the digital and green economy. I look forward to meeting US Vice President Kamala Harris when she visits Singapore in a few weeks’ time.
You can listen to my conversation at the Forum with moderator Evan Osnos in the video below.

Was interviewed for the inaugural Global Forum on Economic Recovery, organised by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to discuss the post-pandemic recovery.
As with any discussion on the global economy, US-China relations featured prominently. But we also touched on COVID-19, its impact on global trade and travel, as well as climate change.
It will be a long while before countries can open up completely and resume free travel again. But as more societies get vaccinated, and the disease gets brought under control, that will become possible. Despite the disruption of COVID-19, international cooperation has by and large held up.
My thanks to Myron Brilliant, Executive VP and head of the International Affairs Division at the US Chamber of Commerce, for the interesting conversation. Look forward to meeting in person in Washington DC again, in calmer times. – LHL

Say hi to the latest addition to my balcony garden!
I’m so grateful to wake up every morning to the sound of birds chirping and the sight of glorious lush greenery all around me. But for how much longer? There are few pockets like this left.
In 2018 Malaysia lost 35,790 Stadium Merdeka’s worth of forest while that same year, 38,000 Malaysians were displaced from their homes due to climate-related disasters.
Climate change is real and it is happening.
One tree can absorb 21.8kgs of carbon, we need trees as much as trees need us to protect them.
Without protecting or preserving our forests, we aren’t just short changing over 3800 species of animals of their home but we are creating a devastating future for ourselves and our kids.
So let’s get planting! Behold my beautiful Red Flame, I can’t wait to watch it grow up !
Thank you Nature Education Society (NEST) , Taman Tugu Project, Free Tree Society, Persatuan Patriot Kebangsaan and Leo Burnett Malaysia for having me a part of this meaningful campaign.
Spread along the message and tag your friends to plant a tree too!

Many people (like 5!) asked me about my views on climate change so here it is! The video can be pretty tedious if climate change isn’t a topic you are interested in in the first place, but I felt that climate change is such a complicated topic that without a long ass video I can’t really properly explain my disdain for Greta Thunberg’s speech.
Yes I know she’s a teen and she’s autistic but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s preaching a dangerous message that will have serious negative economic impact, especially on the poor and for poorer countries.
If you can’t be bothered to watch the entire video, here is the TDLR: The climate crisis cannot be solved simply blaming people for their greed. Everything comes at a cost and the current climate situation is the price to pay for the peace and prosperity that we all enjoy. Everyone is to blame. To implicate change comes with cost, which doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to improve the current climate situation, but people should be made aware of the cost first. Actually I can’t really summarize it just watch the video goddammit
