On Monday, I flew to Jakarta to take part in a panel
discussion on the 2011 World Development Report as a member of its advisory
council, mainly to talk about the ASEAN experience. Took the opportunity to catch up with Thant
Myint-U who wrote the excellent book about Myanmar, "The River of Lost
Footsteps" over lunch. Before
returning to Singapore, I called on former Vice President Jusuf Kalla who
hosted me to tea at his residence.
He is now Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross, as
always, bubbling with ideas.
