Salam there,
The buzz everywhere is about the economic recession, how our GDP forecasts have plunged again, how many jobs are at stake and so on… and everyone’s organising a public talk or special forum on it. At least I hear about one every other week!
We’re doing one too – but this time, we’ve asked the man himself to share his views on the recession. Minister of Finance, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, will be swinging by SMU this Saturday (that’s the 18th of April 2009, at 2pm) to share his thoughts on the recession and how young professionals and graduating students can go with the flow in overcoming the challenges of a recession. There’ll be a Q and A and of course, refreshments at the end of it all. If that’s not a useful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, I don’t know what is.
Details of the talk are on the front page of the Club’s website – do check it out and tell your friends about it.
Wassalam – j
