SINGAPORE, Nov. 29, 2010 /Standard Newswire/ -- The National University of Singapore (NUS) is pleased to announce that Professor Kishore Mahbubani, a distinguished diplomat and Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School) at NUS, has been selected by Foreign Policy magazine as one of its "Top 100 Global Thinkers in 2010", alongside prominent thinkers who shaped the world in 2010. Other prominent international global thinkers who were honored this year include Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffet, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Co-Chair Bill Gates, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Robert Zoellick, World Bank President Robert Zoellick, US President Barack Obama and Chinese central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan.
This is the second annual list of top global thinkers who shaped the world, and half of this year's top 100 Global Thinkers hail from outside the United States. Prof Mahbubani is honored by the magazine "for being the voice of a new Asian century."
Said NUS President Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, "We are delighted that Kishore has been recognized by Foreign Policy as a top global thinker who is "the voice of a new Asian century." His many contributions have helped raised the global standing and profile of the LKY School and NUS. He richly deserves this prestigious recognition and we are particularly proud that he is not only the Dean of our LKY School but also a distinguished alumnus of our university."
Said Professor Kishore Mahbubani, "It's a great honor to be included in the Foreign Policy list a second time, but I am honestly not sure that I deserve this honor. Nonetheless I hope that this will help to draw attention to the good work that the LKY School and NUS are doing in research on global challenges." Prof Mahbubani was listed as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines in September 2005.
