Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements.
Education Minister Chan Chun Sing, who was singled out by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his National Day Rally speech as being key to helping Singapore tide over supply-chain disruptions during the pandemic, said that Singapore has three strategies to deal with such crises.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Straits Times' Hairianto Diman, the former Trade and Industry Minister noted that domestic politics in other countries could also deter them from selling to Singapore.
This is an edited version of the full interview.

Synopsis: Every second and fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' opinion editor Grace Ho takes a hard look at political and social issues of the day with her expert guests.
In this episode, she looks at why the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers) exercise for a few Housing Board blocks of flats in Ang Mo Kio attracted controversy, especially after elderly residents found out that they had to pay up to $100,000 to move to a replacement flat of the same size. Several steps have been taken since then to support the residents.
In the studio to help make sense of Sers is Sing Tien Foo, Professor of Real Estate and director of Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies at National University of Singapore.
Highlights (click/tap above):
1:09 Why some residents don't want to move to a replacement flat; history of Sers
6:40 Who stands to gain from the three options available under Ang Mo Kio Sers
13:32 Discussing three alternative options with Professor Sing
18:40 Should there be leases even shorter than 50 years?
21:35 Can Singaporeans continue to expect their HDB flats to appreciate in value?

Synopsis: Every fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh presents Asian views of the United States.
Newly elected Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr will soon visit Singapore and Indonesia, and probably the United States, before the end of 2022 – providing clues as to how he will navigate the increasingly dangerous space of the US-China rivalry in which his country, as a US ally, is a potential frontline state.
The signs are a departure from the truculent style of former President Rodrigo Duterte, notorious for sniping at the US and seemingly veering closer to China. What does the Philippines expect of the United States from now on?
In this episode, Nirmal Ghosh hosts two guest experts. One is Marites Vitug, long-time investigative journalist, editor at large of the media organization Rappler, and author of among others, the book “Rock Solid” on the case on the South China Sea, that the Philippines won against China in 2016.
The other is Richard Heydarian, political commentator, columnist and incoming senior lecturer at the University of the Philippines.
Highlights (click/tap above):
2:15 Why President Marcos Jr wants to keep relations with all major powers on an even keel?
6:25 Can Marcos Jr walk the talk? How will he react to Chinese incursions, Chinese coast guard presence in the west Philippine sea?
8:00 The US has a high trust rating or favourability among Filipinos, but there are surveys where American alliance reliabilities have been questioned
9:55 Why a results-oriented constructive relationship is what Marcos wants with the US
12:00 The US gave the Philippines 33 million doses of Covid vaccine, versus China's 6 million doses: A big plus for the US and allies in the region?
13:40 A key development to watch: The Enhanced Defense Corporation Agreement, where the US is supposed to forward deployment presence in an event of contingency with Taiwan
