High Trust or Blind Trust?

-
Singapore is a high trust society. People will not just use tissue paper, but even keys and access cards to “chope” (reserve) seats. 

Uniquely Singapore, other people hunting for seats will respect this reservation. And no one will take the keys or access cards too. 

However, from a security perspective,  I still think we should operate on a zero trust basis where it comes to keys and access cards as those can unlock bigger harms if stolen (even if odds are low). 

What do you think?

Good Morning

“Good morning!”  “Good morning!”  “Good morning!”  “Good morning!”  “Good morning!”  This bus driver greeted everyone who boarded the bus yesterday. I greeted back as it was quite unusual and I wanted to reciprocate. Interestingly 90% of the people didn’t. Perhaps they were not used to it or they couldn’t respond fast enough as it wasn’t usual. Despite the low response rate, he didn’t stop. He continued to greet everyone who boarded. There were so many people and so many didn’t respond. But he was so persistent. I wonder what’s his motivation? Whilst this was a fleeting incident, it got me thinking that this type of grit and spirit is pretty rare. And it’s this kind of persistence we should aspire to have in our lives.  Happy Sunday everyone. Photo: By Me

Barbie

My father gave me remote control cars and other “boy” toys when young. I never owned a Barbie doll till someone passed some preloved ones when I was around 12. Hence, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure if I could identify with it or if I wanted to watch. But as the movie has topped billion dollars at the box office, and seeing the famous speech trending online, we went to check it out over the weekend, decked out in pink of course. And yes, there were some cringy moments, but for the most of it, there were some meaningful, poignant moments by not just Barbie but Ken as well. Without spoiling it for you if you haven’t watched it, I actually liked the exchange towards the end when Ken realised that he did not have to live for Barbie but he can be his own self and he is “Kenough”. Overall, I think it’s a light hearted watch not just for girls and women but anyone who’s figuring out themselves and learning that you are good enough. Spoiler speech (if you don’t intend to watch). #barbie

Judgement Day

This year, I’m sitting on the judging panel for the  Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)  Global Fintech Hackcelerator in the  Singapore FinTech Festival  again. This year, the theme is AI in Finance and there were so many impressive entries. To do justice to the entries, I not only read the proposals, but try to “test” the prototypes as well (where available). Interestingly, as I was doing my review, there was a nearby table where some folks were having a chat and one person was gushing about how AI has really helped his business become a lot faster and more efficient. Looks like AI’s effects are already onto us, not just in finance but spreading across many other use cases as well. Have you or your company started your journey yet? Do share. #ai   #artificialintelligence   #mas   #fintech   #data   #automation   #jenelim
