About the Panel:
Eddie Choo writes about futures & systems on his Medium blog - Scalable Analysis. He also engages in interfaith dialogues at Explorations into Faith, a volunteer-run programme supported by Southeast Community Development Council.
Khoo Seok Lin is an economist by training, spending 15 years in the Economic Development Board as Director (Human Resources) and Co-Director (Organisation Development). She left EDB to pursue her passion to introduce the principles of organizational learning and development into education.

Dr. Nazry Bahrawi is a literary and cultural critic at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. He is the co-founder and convener of the critical humanities collective Bras Basah Open. His idea of a Singapore utopia necessitates a functioning Arts and Humanities Research Council, among other fanciful things.
Khee Shihui enjoys learning about what gives purpose and meaning to people and seeks to find ways to support them. She's most energised at the confluence of the arts, people and organisation development, community engagement, and social innovation. She is the Programme Director of Common Ground, a civic institution that seeks to facilitate critical partnerships to solve pressing national concerns.
