Awesome and inspiring talk, but the interviewer...LOL

@ainnhana : "the graciousness of Singapore & freedom of speech and freedom that lets him to live freely"

And no, he would not have "vanished" in India. India allows freedom of press and is not like China or Singapore

What are you talking about?

Ti Lik speaks like a robot... Need to loosen up and be more natural, dude.

9:16 "At least in my lifetime, I've tried, and that's the most important thing".

this guy supports drug peddlars? you have to be in the shoes of a family who has lost their family due to drugs. Hope Mr Ravi loses his loved one due to drugs & then he'll stop supporting such people. He also supported everyone who created problems in Singapore. He is in the news for all the wrong reasons all times. It is the graciousness of Singapore & freedom of speech and freedom that lets him to live freely. Had he pulled stunt like this in China/ India, he would have vanished by now.

The international community continues to condemn Singapore for its human

rights violations. Shame on Singapore The hanging capital of the world. What kind of a passive society allows this kind of arbitrary and mandatory death penalty? Look also at the inhumane continued beatings (canings) of prisoners year after year which is against all international standards on torture. This country should be kicked out of the United Nations and trade and travel banned.
