The inaugural Philanthropy in Asia Summit concluded Tuesday. The invitation-only gathering convened for two days in Singapore and brought together philanthropists to “experience new perspectives to old issues and meet like-minded” peers.
During his keynote address Monday, the Business Times Singapore’s Nisha Ramchandani reported that Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said giving “in Singapore as well as across Asia is still in its very early stages.”
According to Shanmugaratnam, individuals’ donations in Singapore tripled between 2006 and 2010, reports the Straits Times’ Leslie Kay Lim.
