  Every time Kishore says "Anglo Saxon" all those in the west feel an imaginary thorn in their feet.

  That profession Emmerson should well criticise his own country atrocity and (lack of) achievements nowadays.

  Self promotion? &nbsp; How ludicrous! &nbsp;Only insecure people with fragile egos like that &nbsp;Emerson bloke referred to, will read &quot; self promotion &quot; in Kishore&apos;s books all of which I&apos;ve read. &nbsp; Kishore is perfectly correct that its ideas that he&apos;s been promoting in his writings, which by the way, have all been well supported by facts , evidences and good sound well thought out arguments.<br>Kishore&apos;s books, in my opinion, are as insightful and as substantive as Lee Kuan Yew&apos;s .<br>TQ for a candid interview which has further enhanced my respect for Kishore.

  Kishore mahbubani is not defending, he is just telling it as it is.

  I love both of you. This should be considered a benchmark for professional journalism. It&apos;s very rare to find two gentlemen treating each other with respect and waiting their turns in conversation. I salute both of you from my heart.

  Kishore is my kind of PS(Foreign Affairs) any season, all seasons. Why? Because he does not shoot from the hip. He looks at issues carefully and explains his point of view in a proper manner with historical background and perspective.

  The title is very honest. The interviewer is very undiplomatic. Kishore M on the other hand is a true professional diplomat who remains calm as personal insults are hurled upon him.He answered all his questions &nbsp;, very well with the favourite Kishore phrase &quot; at the end of the day day&quot;. Has the interviewer a chip on his shoulder ?

  Kishore is Frank &amp; honest in disseminating his ideas &amp; tots. He is not self glorifying himself. Lessons learnt from this interview that you must have the right mentors to grow &amp; prosper in life. He had the benefits to associate with founding fathers of Spore vi&apos;s a vis LKY/Rajaratnam/Goh Keng Swee.

  Nothing is inconvenient to Kishore. He was articulative, diplomatic, polite &amp; very composed.
