At SMU’s Ho Rih Hwa Leadership Lecture Series held at SMU Hall yesterday, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto leader of Malaysia’s ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition, was quizzed on a range of issues during the robust question-and-answer session moderated by SMU Chairman Mr Ho Kwon Ping. During his lecture titled “Leadership In The 21st Century: Winds of Change”, Mr Anwar peppered his speech with quotes from poets and philosophers, and touched on ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China, the need to nurture creative minds and the need for leaders to maintain values such as humility and compassion. About 1,200 students, academics and diplomats attended the session.
