"I commend the editors for undertaking this project. It is a valuable piece in the matrix that mediation stakeholders in Singapore are steadily forming together. Having promoted mediation as an Adr for the past 20 years, I consider education as a key platform to propel mediation to the next level. University students who have caught the vision will be our flag-bearers and champions in the next 5, 10, 20 years as Singapore evolves into a regional Adr hub. This publication and the following volumes will spur them on!"
