Leaders should value and respect their people and fulfil their needs, but it is not only those in government who need to embrace change – “those who are governed (should) change as well”, said Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi at a lecture on leadership held at SMU on Sunday. Addressing an audience that included Minister for Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim, Senior Minister of State (Transport and Finance) Josephine Teo, business leaders, academics and students, Ms Suu Kyi said: “What we want now is not a military dictatorship, but a democratic mindset that values the people, that understands that whatever we achieve, we have to achieve with the willing support of the people.”
