About Lianhe Zaobao Southeast Asia Lecture

The Southeast Asia Lecture series is a flagship event of Lianhe Zaobao, Singapore’s most widely read Chinese-language news media. Each lecture spotlights a prominent regional figure delivering a keynote on local politics, economics, and society. Unlike traditional academic forums, the series emphasises speakers’ rich personal experiences and deep insights, offering perspectives closely aligned with realities on the ground.

Previous editions of the Southeast Asia Lecture have been held in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, featuring influential figures such as Mr Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Finance of Malaysia; Mr George Yeo, former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Singapore; Mr Andrew Sheng, former central banker and renowed commentator on global finance; and Dr Tahir, founder of Indonesia’s Mayapada Group.

For its 5th edition, Lianhe Zaobao partners Tech in Asia to present the Southeast Asia lecture under the Asia Economic Summit 2026, featuring keynote speaker Dr Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development of Indonesia.
