The text of the speech delivered by Mr Ho Kwon Ping, Chairman of SMU's Board of Trustees and Executive Chairman of Banyan Tree Holdings, at the Pan IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology) Asia Pacific Conference last Friday is reproduced in full. Mr Ho warns against Asian triumphalism because ?in the rush towards exuberant expectation that Asia's time has finally come, we will fall victim to the biggest reason for failure in the history of the world: simple hubris?.
