THIS is my second year in Singapore, and once again I have spent the last few weeks enjoying the run-up to National Day, as the nation decked itself out in its full red and white glory.

On Saturday (Aug 8), we marked Asean Day, and I have been reflecting not only on the bloc’s impact as a regional institution, but also on what our links with Asean mean for the UK’s relationship with Singapore.
