Minister Chan Chun Sing opens up on Singapore’s most emotional pressure points: PSLE, streaming, tuition, and our obsession with comparison. He challenges the idea that we should do more to build resilience - maybe we should do less. We also talk about the need for political diversity as well as its misconceptions. He warns against slogan politics, and clarifies the difference between political leaders and politicians. We also tackle elitism, and the future of Singapore 100 years ahead.
