On July 10, Radio Singapore International featured a broadcast on the “Gandhi, King, Ikeda: A Legacy of Building Peace” Exhibition which opened in Singapore from June 10-14 at the Singapore Management University. In the programme titled, “The Asian Journal — Peace Leaders”, radio journalist Justin Teo did a 10 minute coverage on the three personalities highlighted in the exhibition.
The broadcast featured these “three international leaders who transcended differences in race, culture and religious belief in their unwavering promotion of peace”. The broadcast also featured interviews with Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr Zainul Abidin Rasheed and Dr Neelakanta Radhakrishnan, Chairman of the Indian Council for Gandhian Studies, New Delhi.
At the interview, Minister Zainul Abidin Rasheed shared his views on the exhibition: “The ‘Gandhi, King, Ikeda — A Legacy of Building Peace’ exhibition is an adept reminder for our world today; particularly today when there’s so much intolerance, narrow-mindedness, extremism, and terrorism. So I think we should go all out, at all levels – at the national level, at the community level, at the VWOs – and particularly the heartlands, to try and reach out to as many people as possible, to expose them to the kind of values in life which have been promoted by people like Gandhi, King and Ikeda.”
The broadcast was repeated on July 15.
