The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), in conjunction with the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), will host panel discussion on “Bangladesh and Singapore: Developing a Development Mindset” in Singapore on Friday, 2 November 2007 from 9:00am - 1:00pm. Prof Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Laureate, will be giving the inaugural address. Woohooooo!
Update: Email to my Bangladeshi classmate, Habiba Sultana: "Let's attend together. I have read his book, Banker to the Poor".
