The #Belgium🇧🇪 parliament's Chamber of Representatives passed a resolution that called on the country's government to support #Taiwan's democratic development and its meaningful participation in international organizations just before the parliamentary recess. 130 representatives voted for the proposition, with no-one voting against and 13 abstentions.

This move follows on from a 2015 resolution in support of Taiwan’s calls for regional peace, the signing of a bilateral investment agreement, and Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations, among other things.

It’s telling that the legislators made time during the #COVID19 pandemic to make this significant gesture to safeguard our #SharedValues of #democracy, #freedom and #HumanRights!

Deeply saddened by the passing of Mr Lee Khoon Choy, a member of the PAP Old Guard, at the ripe old age of 92.

Khoon Choy, whom we all knew as “KC”, started off as a journalist with Nanyang Siang Pau in the 1950s. Mr S Rajaratnam recruited him to join the PAP. KC fought in the 1959 elections and won, thus beginning his long career in politics and the Public Service.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew once described KC as a man who “had it” — a man of courage that did not melt under pressure. In the early 1960s when the PAP was battling pro-communist factions in the party, the pro-communists targeted KC. He received a letter with a bullet, a death threat. In 1961, thousands of Chinese school students staged sit-ins. They threw rotten apples at him and shouted, “李炯才, 进棺材 (Lee Khoon Choy, enter the coffin)!” KC did not buckle. He stood with the PAP and was loyal till the end.

KC also served as Ambassador and High Commissioner to eight countries. As Ambassador to Indonesia, he played a crucial role in thawing relations between Singapore and Indonesia. Singapore had hanged two Indonesian commandos who bombed MacDonald House in 1965 and killed innocent civilians. KC persuaded Mr Lee Kuan Yew to wear a batik shirt and scatter flowers at the graves of the two men in Jakarta. This conciliatory gesture enabled Mr Lee to establish a relationship with President Suharto. In recognition of his contributions, KC was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1990.

After KC stepped down from public service, he returned to his first love — writing and painting. I was honoured to launch his book “Golden Dragon and Purple Phoenix” in 2013.

KC believed that “every human being should know his own roots. A tree without roots cannot grow. Human beings are the same.” Indeed, as we remember his life, we remember our roots and what our pioneers like him did, to put Singapore on the path it is today. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. – LHL

Inside Gucci’s exhibition ‘No Space, Just a Place. Eterotopia’, held at the Daelim Museum in Seoul. Propelled by Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s meditations on society, the exhibition proposes a new definition of what an “other space” might be: a place to build a different, desirable future with new ways for humans to relate to each other and to their surroundings. Every project is thematically tied to the idea of the alternative spaces as a utopian place in which to set new empowering narratives, dwelling on the understanding of otherness, the exploration of minoritarian identities and queer politics. The acknowledgment of the moment of great uncertainty that humanity is currently experiencing now furtherly encourages reflections on alternative modes of being and consuming in relation to one’s environment. Curated by Myriam Ben Salah—recently appointed Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago—the exhibit features independent and alternative art spaces as well as international artists’ works including Martine Syms’ video installation ‘Notes on Gesture’ (image 1), Olivia Erlanger’s ‘Ida, Ida, Ida!’ (image 2), Kang Seung Lee’s wallpaper installation ‘Covers (QueerArch)’ and Meriem Bennani’s ‘Party on the CAPS’ (Image 4). Set up by Archivio Personale, the exhibit will run until July 12, 2020.
