SINGAPORE: Amid deeply worrying global developments and despite the country's limitations as a small state, Singapore is "not without agency", said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Wednesday (Apr 16). 

Singapore’s prosperity has depended on a “stable rules-based global order”. As the old order frays, a new one will eventually emerge, he said, during this year’s edition of the S Rajaratnam Lecture, addressing political officeholders, diplomats and senior government officials.
