Ho Kwon Ping was the Institute of Policy Studies' (IPS) 2014/15 S.R. Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book contains the five IPS-Nathan Lectures he gave between October 2014 and April 2015, and highlights of the accompanying dialogue with the audience. In his lectures, Ho looks forward to the next 50 years, offering innovative ideas and robust views on how governance and key institutions can evolve to ensure the sustainable continuation of Singapore, the "improbable nation". This book illuminates Ho's vision of a cohesively-diverse Singapore lasting beyond the lifespan of his generation and aims to get the young to ponder and discuss what kind of home, and future, they want.
