It has undoubtedly harmed the image not just in Singapore, where I directly feel it has impacted our prospects.

Can we make money from this? That remains to be seen.

Singapore is gaining a lot of credibility as a good place to work. It has actually been easier for me to recruit researchers now than four years ago.

Although Singapore has a relatively limited pool of scientists as compared to the U.K., it has maximized those people by bringing them together. It's a vibrant atmosphere and very enjoyable to work. I don't feel under any sort of pressure to move.

They are a big catch. They are prominent researchers, very successful in the U.S..

Practice, it is said, makes perfect. But is it ethical to practice? And I absolutely think it is not, in the human context.
