“The Southeast Asian Region has a great variety of peoples, environments, natural resources and policies. Their history enlightens the search for solutions to current problems.”
“I am delighted to support the initiative to build a Centre for South East Asian Studies at Oxford. Considering the growing importance both economically and politically of South East Asia, and the region’s extraordinary cultural history, the absence of such a Centre is a signal gap in Oxford’s reseach and teaching capability. It will be a great day for Oxford and for all who are interested in SE Asia when the proposed Centre can be established.”
“Oxford University hosts numerous bright Southeast Asians at all academic stages. I would like to see more recognition of the past, present and future importance of the region and peoples.”

“The larger countries of South East Asia have a huge burden of disease and the many Islands have huge health problems also. These should be the focus of technology specific to communities of that size and much needed by the neighbouring Pacific basin..The management of waste to generate fuel and the provision of fresh water are but two of the problems of significance to health that concern the initiatives I am working on in Oxford.”
