Mr. Kishore at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2223">37:03</a>: "If you have a pandemic that spreads, it can go around the world instantly. " Man was he right...

Not gonna lie, I am getting obsessed with this guy ever since I discovered his interview yesterday. I have been listening to his speeches all day today and I can barely find a thing that I do not agree with. What a sobering voice in this frenzied time. That being said, am I the only one noticing all the cute girls in the audience?

One of the wise man that looks at the world objectively. World needs to hear him speak more.

Another excellent speech by one of the greatest minds of the world.

I am in Africa but these man is just factful. I wish other Africans could see that our way of development is collaborating with Asia

One of the sanest persons in the world. Another great speech.

It is always very enlightening to learn from Prof Kishore. He has a balanced and true view of the events in the world.

An excellent lecture by Professor Dr. Kishore Mahbubani. What a brilliant answer to the Clash of Civilization: Fusion of Civilization.

A very important lesson in a variety of understandings. Thank you, Professor Kishore.

Kishore is a real well rounded global scholar in international relations.

Kishore is such a man of wisdom. He has very diplomatically defined, described and explained the word “Diplomacy”. Thumbs up👍👍😄🙏

I thank you for Proferssor Kishore's talk about the U.N.

We are all on the same boat living under different cabins. So true.

So appropriate to listen to this now...Thank God Professor Kishore for your wisdom and insights

This guy is not only a reflection of the intellect of Singapore, but he also represents the true potential of a Billion Indians if they were to think like this guy does, speak like him, do like him, be like him or a tad bit different but albeit saner wiser smarter.

This man always give the fact news.

He is so frank about everyone. Never heard any diplomat talk like this

Pandemic such as covid 19 can't be solved by one nation. The whole world is in one boat. Thank you.

His Eminence should be awarded with Nobel Peace Prize.The young generation should learn to contribute to World Peace.Greeting from Malaysia.

求同存异，相向而行 has been the Chinese way of Diplomacy all the time - 求同存异 in English means seeking common ground and set aside the differences and 相向而行 is moving forward with the similarities (or common ground) - this is also what the Professor said at the end of his speech(<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2355">39:15</a>)....

Thank you Professor Kishore. Enjoyed your speech tremendously.

Talent vision. Truthful and knowledgeable speech.

Kishore is so right about the objective of appointing an embassy as a middle person to harmonise any predicament that could arise as a result of misunderstanding between two nations. We all have our differences as in every family, the members have each other’s differences, openly discussing can dissolve unpleasant energy but if one party persists not to listen and rule out what the best solution is, then harmony would surely have gone missing. Once this is happening there will never be Peace in this world any more. Hopefully one day, we will live in a more harmonious and peaceful world. Thanks Kishore for giving such an ultimately important talk .. May God bless your family and the world we live in. 😇🙏

God I hope Kishore comes up with a book on diplomacy.

Good speech Prof. Your foresight proven correct. Bolton was fired. What a relief for the world against war hawks.

Thank you sir. You are an asset to Singapore

I am such a happy student eager to sit at the feet of my Elders……truly thankful to listen and learn from this enigma of intelligence put forth in the essence of Kishore Mahbubani…….I am grateful for his perspective and thankful for the art by which it is presented……….truly one of the Greats here……make no mistake and please listen well………there is a well of knowledge here should One ever become thirsty……..drink up and become more human even wise one day afar off🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I like the opening joke. Permantent secretary --- "eternal typist". similar jokes are: "General chair" was translated into chinese as "ordinary bench"; The "Power" button on an MP3 player was translated to "Macht" in Dutch. ... While watching Prof. Mahbubani's lecture, I start to miss a top diplomat of China, the late Mr. Wu JianMin.

It's absolutely vital that we, human beings realized that we are living in the SAME boat!! Otherwise, we are doomed!!

his lightness of being on the harsh truths are delightfully humourous and highly palatable towards deeper absorption.. ... diplomacy at work. thank you sir.

I will buy all of His books. He is wise and balanced. I love global politics

Great speech, and great foresight at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2220">37:00</a> on the pandemic.

Great speech sir. A true lesson to upcoming Diplomats.

Just ordered the last book. Can't wait.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent talk.

You’re my teacher your excellency

Great content and great camera angles and editing work.

Respect from China! very insightful speech!

Beautiful lecture.

Great analysis. My respect.

Fantastic speech!

Prof Kishore, well respected person

Excellent speech! So proud of you!

I agree with Prof Kishore. Excellent points. If only we can all work together to realize them, in time.

Beautiful speech

Great speech.

Prof Kishore Mahbubani - my salute to you sir.

Well articulated speech and providing a preface to his book. The diplomacy of today is played out in AI tech fashion. Power shift is occurring at digital speed between various power centres played out with new diplomatic skills. Situations are no longer predicable.

A genuine peace maker in this sophiscated, greed of fortune n wealth from society to countries n into world.

Brilliant!

mesmerised

An honest academic.

Mahbubani is doing the job of MAHBUB ( Beloved )

Benevolent China has so many scholars, journalists, economists and Head of States ( mainly non white) who lend their voices in defending her , bravo!

*Henry Kissinger wrote a good book about diplomacy entitled **_Diplomacy._** Kishore should have mentioned that book when he talked about the need for good sources on the subject.*

As China gets stronger, the polarization is shifting in favor of China .

thanks for the Manhattan project. without it ，there will not be such long peaceful time on earth；without it，we have no chance to catch up with those colonial Empires.

Kishore Mahbubani is a great geopolitician like Henry Kissinger. What he preditected 30 years ago came true. So learn from him cos it is a gift to the WEST ESP. AMERICA

Prof, may I ask why why so many incompetent persons become world leaders?

great leader n out spoken

GOOD PERSON , GOOD IDEAS , GOOD JOB...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2160">36:00</a> He used pandemic as one of the reasons for strengthening UN just three months before COVID-19.

Wise man and gentleman

My respect

I like it that nobody in the room looks convinced.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2160">36:00</a> onwards is very prophetic.

Thanks

U r smart,mr k

Wise man

How to find an agreed win- win between different sides.

All eezz well

💕

so proud of yuou Kishore...

What is the oldest profession?

The U.S. is the biggest obstacle to the world's peace.

salute😛

f*king good speech! f*king.. good!

Highly educational when listening to Kishore Mahbubani.

chas freeman knows diplomacy also about Asean, he forgot to mention confucians which is probably the glue that brings the others together and what he himself is

Good

Decline is very hard to expect for all.

It certainly destroy the stereotype thinking of the past that the world cannot feed its expanding population.

Ancient China has this saying, don't kill the diplomat even though two countries are at war.

Watching you now (Feb 2021) - you made a prediction proven by a global pandemic and deaths in their million!

My friend Mr Baiden has a grandson in his fifth grade. He used to be No.1 in the whole school. He became the school captain from the 2nd grade. But he has noticed that a Chinese boy is coming up to take his place as the best student of the school. He has become worried and his grandpa Mr Baiden told him not to be worried and that the end justifies the means. He started to teach him all the dirty techniques to demonize the Chinese boy, even to the extent of spreading blatant lies about the Chinese boy，such as telling his group of friends that the Chinese boy is a spy etc. that he comes to steal their knowledge etc. etc. When Mr Baiden's grandson grows up, he remembers his grandfather's teachings and resorts to all dirty techniques to deal with his friends and foes, such as bugging his friends etc. Education is not just verbal teaching in schools, it is what one does that constitutes the effective teachings to the juniors. The Chinese elders will never educate their children in this immoral way by their ways of actions.

Right now the ship represents the global community and the cabins represents the countries which represents the UN. As a captain first thing I will recommend is let USA walk the plank, the shark represents karma.

Human being supposed to be diplomatic but now we don't have human diplomacy

What we can do to bring the US to the right track?

Only trouble out of million to one.

The whole world is interdependent to each other and yet, Trump is singing a different tune when it comes to trade

With so much blood in its hand, the decline of America is inevitable, call it KARMA in a spiritual sense if you wish or, call it AWAKENING in the physical sense of you prefer. AWAKENING to the point of distancing themselves from America.

Its Dec 2020, We can now evaluate what Mr. Mahbubani said then, and how accurate it was or is. I was impressed with his opening speech, but the moment he showed his appreciation to Ch1na my stand started to shift. I may be biased, but its due to the facts (Facts of what Ch!na did to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Japanese disputed island, Australia etc) Talking about Ch!na is preaching the choir. One can search Mr. Mahbubani talks on Ch!na on youtube. Neutrality: He talked about US President and UK PM, Yes they have done things that may not look right but one needs to understand the background of it, but lets take it as is for now. He does not talk of Ch!na's leader in the same way. That leader did not follow their own governance rules, i.e. removed the leadership tenure or limit, removed the restriction of power, is driving the world to wards a war (there was only leader from past who took the same steps). Spied on other UN reps, Did not honer Intnl Court verdict on Philippines's island and many such instance. does it not show Mr. Mahbubani's stance ? Diplomacy: About Diplomacy, it's not always done via Ambassadors. US does talk to enemy countries through other means. Like India has a back channel diplomacy with its enemy (Pakistan) via intelligence agency. CIA had it with KGB even during the East German crises and swap of agents. UN: I wish it were true, that, UN is the best org, but recent events have proven beyond doubt that it has failed us just as League of Nations did. Today a Powerful nation can do what they feel like, a country like Pakistan and Ch!na with well known Human Rights record are leading it. Today you can attack a country and kill its citizens under the guise of Terrorists and nothing can be done. With or WithOut UN, world today is like jungle, Ones with power rule it. If Ch1na were to attack Myanmar, who will defend or protect Myanmar ? ..I can assure None! But, I totally agree with his Boat analogy and that we need to look at the world's future with optimism.

Pandemics --- the guy called it!

My Mom is the best in the world.

Diplomacy and prostitution are the two oldest professions that have something in common. Professor Kishore Mahbubani and few others know what this is.

What happen to Jack Ma?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2223">37:03</a> he hinted about Coronavirus

Selling igloos to Eskimos with a smile.

china is not 100% Han Chinese! I switched channel immediately after this. Tks
