Covid-19 Magnifies Underlying Problems That Need Fixing
The Sunday Times

24 January 2021

Instead of viewing the pandemic as a single unfortunate event, it is more useful to see it both as a symptom and a magnifier of underlying problems that the world needs to address, said Han Fook Kwang, Senior Fellow at RSIS, in a commentary. There are at least three issues that the pandemic magnified, all of which are structural in nature: the rich-poor divide, the old-young generational divide and the East-West divide.
