IN THIS Internet age, the Government is still 'experimenting' on the best way to lead and interact with Singaporeans, Foreign Minister George Yeo said on Friday.
Leaders have to possess a certain 'programmability', he said, and know when to become students again so that they can pick up the right skills in areas such as social networking to connect with the people.
The world is very different from previous times, when information was less freely available, he noted. Today, there are a multitude of sources available, as well as a variety of avenues such as Facebook and blogs, for people to get themselves heard.
'The fact now is that hierarchies are breaking down, dissolving into messy networks,' he said at the inaugural Fullerton-SJI Leadership Lectures.
The series will features outstanding St Joseph's Institution alumni who have played significant roles in various aspects of Singapore's development.
Said Mr Yeo of the new environment: 'It affects the relationship of teachers to students, of parents to their children, of employers to their employees, of ministers with ordinary citizens.'

They will never do anything without motive. Always for their own benefits, people of Singapore can die and is none of their business. -
