As the world grapples with unexpected disruptions and fast-evolving change, how are we to organise ourselves around time-tested principles so we may nurture a society that goes beyond modern economic parameters and norms. Former Cambodian Senior Minister and author Veng Sereyvuth shares from his own life experiences as a village boy, cyclo driver and survivor of the 1970s genocide, on how simple and enduring lessons gleaned from his village can be applied to building a sustainable, more compassionate and better society.

![[CSA series] Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mU2zFHd4h8I/mqdefault.jpg "[CSA series] Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025?
ASEAN aims to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2025, which entails establishing a single market and integrated production base. The AEC Blueprint provides numerous initiatives and agreements that must be implemented to attain this objective. ASEAN also has a Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with a deadline of 2025, which complements the AEC. There are also regional FTAs like RCEP that help ASEAN build closer trade linkages with its major trading partners. However, ASEAN has faced significant economic challenges over the last few years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this context, is it still possible to achieve the AEC by 2025? What can be accomplished with only two years remaining?
In our 6th Counterpoint Southeast Asia public webinar, we ask: Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025? and invite three Southeast Asian analysts to provide their unique perspectives.
Counterpoint Southeast Asia is a webinar and policy brief series that tackles strategic and complex questions facing Southeast Asia by presenting the perspectives of regional academics and policy experts. It is organised by the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.
Speakers:
## Julia Tijaja, Former Director of ASEAN Integration Monitoring, ASEAN Secretariat (2015-2021)
## Jean Clarisse T. Carlos, Project Development Officer, Philippine Institute for Development Studies
## Aekapol Chongvilaivan, Senior Economist (Public Finance), Asian Development Bank
Chairperson:
Denis Hew, Senior Research Fellow, Centre on Asia and Globalisation, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore

![[LKYSPP Alumni] Making an Impact in Poverty Alleviation](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nP-wkGnSPcw/mqdefault.jpg "[LKYSPP Alumni] Making an Impact in Poverty Alleviation
How can public policy make a tangible impact in poverty alleviation?
Our LKYSPP Alumni, Jack Sim (MPA 2013), Founder of World Toilet Organisation, Ruchika Singh (MPP 2012), former Associate Director of Policy at J-Pal South Asia, Avantika Dhingra (MPP 2015), former Senior Manager at J-Pal South Asia and Rex Wang Xiao (MPP 2008), an Economist at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, share their stories of making a difference in the lives of those affected by poverty.
They share the steps and approach they took to overcome the policy problem, which can seem challenging, but whose outcome is very meaningful. Through this sharing, we uncover how the public policy education journey these alumni underwent helped equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and tools to tackle complex poverty issues.
