True victory is not beating others, but 'winning the world': Chan Chun Sing

What does victory look like for nations today? Singapore's Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing says it's less about beating others militarily or economically, but about "winning the world" and having other nations aspire to be like yours. Speaking at at the Middle East Institute's annual conference on Tuesday (Jun 23), he said such an ideal is a matter of political leadership. "The question is the issue of political leadership, whether we really want to transcend history, uplift our people rather than just focus on beating the other guy," he said. #sgnews #singapore
