The Singapore Forum, a flagship programme of the S Rajaratnam Endowment, set up by Temasek Foundation, was first launched in April 2015. Its objective was to establish discussions on geostrategic, politico-economic and governance issues that would have an impact on regional development and stability. Forward-looking and practical in its approach, it attracted over 200 business and political leaders and prominent thinkers across Asia and provided a neutral platform for frank sharing and exchange of views on the approaches, policies and strategies needed to deepen regional cooperation.
