In case you don't know, this year's Singapore Writers Festival is in progress at the moment (till 12 Nov 2017, Sunday). This year, the theme is called Aram, a Tamil word, zeroes in on the universal ethical concept. A term with rich connotations, it exhorts us to ask tough questions regarding conscience, virtue, and societal values.
I've been wanted to attend some of the programs of which I've identified previously but I've totally forgotten about it until today, when flipping through the 130+ pages of the Programme Guide. Some of the more popular programmes have been sold out too. Gosh...
So, after further review of the programs, following are some of the shortlisted programmes that I am considering:
