    COUNTRIES that succeed and prosper in today's new world are those that give high priority to talent and knowledge, said Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    "Why do we (Singapore) have so many think tanks? Because we realise that knowledge is power. We also realise that knowledge has economic value," Prof Koh said on Wednesday at an event organised by local think tanks and international organisations to celebrate SG50.
