Thinking about mortality does not make a person pessimistic. It makes them responsible. Planning for death with care and clarity leaves behind less chaos, less guilt, and space for those we love to grieve well. #mortality #mementomori

Facing death with dignity is more than being brave in the final moments. It is about the preparation long before those last moments. Having clear wishes and undertaking difficult conversations are part of that preparation. #mortality #mementomori

Customer-first can be the insurance utopia. It can include simpler, friendlier language and better UX. The product must make sense and work in the unfortunate event of a claim. #CustomerFirst #Insurance #Trust #Claims

For insurers, genAI has pros and cons. It can enhance detection and customer engagement, but also fuels sophisticated fraud using deepfakes and synthetic claims data. This 'arms race' needs insurers to improve detection and cross-industry cooperation. #AI #Fraud #Insurance

A cautionary tale on the need to be careful with customers' details. Sharing examples without revealing any information that might indicate identities might be suitable for educating the public, but it requires caution. #Singapore @MothershipSG

Difficult to see what led up to this. Possibly queue-jumping, which should be called out. Looks like Simba or the mall should have employed a better queuing system. #Singapore @stompsingapore

I have spent a fair amount of my career designing and marking student assignments. Most markers will recognise the moment: you open a submission.

The Singapore 'scene visit' is somewhat familiar here. The purpose is to gather further evidence and recreate events. This might create a presumption of guilt, but the legal system is robust and safeguards against undue influence. #Singapore #Crime

Where are we going as societies if we allow this to happen? Unfortunately, there are no easy answers. The poverty that might drive some of this cannot be solved overnight, and the rewards for dealing in this trade are too tempting. #crime

Japan's change to the drunk cycling law has resulted in 896 driving licence suspensions for drunk cycling. Whilst possibly not as dangerous as driving, drunk cycling still poses a danger and needs to be stopped. #Japan #drunk #cycling
