Southeast Asia consists of two geographic regions: the Asian mainland and island arcs and archipelagoes to the east and southeast. The mainland section consists of Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia while the maritime section consists of Brunei, East Malaysia, East Timor, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.[1] Papua New Guinea is an observer in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, as is East Timor.

TED Talks in Singapore!




I attended an independently organized TED Event in Singapore which featured the following speakers:

Professor Kishore Mahbubani, Past President of United Nations Security Council
Talk: "Is Humanity Becoming More Intelligent?"

Jack Sim, World Toilet Organization, Time's Magazine Man of the Year
Talk "Saving Lives, Serving the Markets"

Tay Keng Soon, Architect, Professor
Talk "How Big Should Settlements Be?"

See above Kenote Section for viewing entire list of speakers.

I encourage you to coordinate a similar event in whichever community you live in, big or small, rural or urban - as a way for people to communicate interesting talks and ideas.
