JULY 8, 2022

This must be a day to remember. At 9am I was in a webinar organised by ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute of Dr. Michael Green, renowned scholar on US-Japan affairs on the US Indo Pacific Economic Framework. He is the head of the US Center on Strategic Studies b to in Sydney. Then suddenly at around noontime, I heard the news of the assasination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Nara. He was campaigning for a candidate daw in Nara, Japan for the Upper House elections on July 10th. Tsk tsk, I'm sure the world has lost a truly great leader. Good morning to us all and aloha!
