Jamus Lim comes to the YLB studio for a deep dive into the Singapore education system and what Singaporeans need to do in their careers to prepare for the impending AI wave. On top of that, he talks about his expectations vs. reality as an MP (no jokes about cockles, we promise), redefining what it means to succeed in Singapore, and also destroys Terence’s One Shiok Thing with economics.
