SINGAPORE - Multilateralism is far from perfect, but in a world where challenges such as Covid-19 are increasingly global and transborder in nature, Singapore has a role to play in helping the world build back stronger and stem the fraying of global cooperation. This was the conclusion drawn by a group of panellists on the third day of a four-day Singapore Perspectives conference organised by the Institute of Policy Studies. Speaking on the topic "Multilateralism and Global Cooperation" on Tuesday (Jan 19), Professor Joseph Liow, Tan Kah Kee chair in comparative and international politics at the S.
