#107 2030 Is Closer Than We Think — Are Singaporeans Ready?
What skills Singaporeans must have to succeed in 2030? In this episodef of YanaTV, we sit with a man who was born in Singapore, shaped by war, leadership, and loss — and who has spent a lifetime watching what pressure does to people when no one is looking.
We talk about identity, loneliness, mental health, and the silent weight of leadership — the kind that doesn’t show up in resumes, but follows you home at night.
This is a conversation about children growing up without anchors, leaders carrying responsibility in isolation, and a culture that values strength — even when it hurts to admit vulnerability.
It’s about belonging without losing face.
About success that feels empty.
And about learning to make peace with the mirror.
If you’ve ever felt surrounded by people yet deeply alone, this episode will stay with you.
