Working together to make great things happen.
Future of Singapore website was setup by 6 individuals. All 6 of us started in this Public Education Group call Friday Conversations
If you like to know more about the origins of Friday Conversations, you can click here.
From Friday Conversations, we spun off the Future of Singapore website after the launch of Tay Kheng Soon’s book, aptly titled The Future of Singapore?
In it, Prof Tay talks about his ideas for the Future of Singapore. We eventually formed the Future of Singapore Group (FOSG).
And this inspired us to create a website and social media pages to talk, discuss, and formulate ideas about what the Future of Singapore should look like.
