Counting Night- GE2020 Singapore
Workers Party expands its footprint and the opposition sends a message. Singapore politics is not boring any longer.
Journal Publication
A significant development to see my name co-authored with esteemed senior scholars in a journal.
Thank you very much for the opportunity Prof Koel from my undergraduate alma mater BIT Mesra (i studied at their Oman Campus) to share my two cents on a relevant scholarly intervention.
Success.
The Gulf Migrant Train Wreck
The gulf migration story needs to be contextualised, with a labor history perspective. The point which needs to be considered is why haven’t migrants unskilled to meet the change, rather than bank on a perennial job in the Gulf?
The writing has been on the wall for a decade post Arab Spring, Nationalisation programs, 2014 oil crash etc.
Why do people cry after the train wreck waiting to happen has hit them ?
Qatar Crisis Talk at MEI NUS
Dr. @Dr_Ulrichsen spoke on the Qatar Crisis with Prof @SinGulfura and Prof @abaabood at @MEI_NUS in a much awaited talk. Pandemic, Economic contraction and the Geopolitics of the region makes this conversation much needed.

The Kuwait Expat Exodus
Kuwait makes news in a prominent pink paper in India on Page 2. The post pandemic Gulf will change the landscape of thousands of Indians living in Kuwait for decades. 1.45 Million Indians and 4.8 Billion USD in remittances. The exodus will be greater than Uganda and Burma. The calibrated return needs to be managed by North Block in New Delhi with the Embassy in Kuwait City. Will Kuwait send back our doctors and nurses as well serving the country for decades? Or not buy generic medicines from us?
