Dear leaders, have you taken the time needed to pause, reflect, take stock, be grateful and envision a better 2025? We all need to do this to get to vision. Great leaders are not just managers of the present—they are architects of the future In a world that craves progress – and is rushing through so much of life mindlessly – the most influential leaders are those who design beyond immediate needs and envision what could...

Imagine this: you’re working on a case packed with mountains of data—evidence, timelines, witness statements. It’s overwhelming, isn’t it? Now picture using an AI tool that sifts through all of it in minutes, spotting patterns and making connections you might have missed. Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie? It’s not.

Data is everywhere. It shapes our decisions, drives our strategies, and fills our presentations. Clients want detailed metrics, projections, and insights. But as powerful as data is, it doesn’t cover everything. At the core of client relationships, there’s still a need for trust, empathy, and genuine understanding—qualities that no algorithm can replace. When Data Isn’t Enough While data gives us clarity, relying on numbers alone can leave clients feeling unseen. Numbers can hint at what’s happening,...

IQ vs EQ vs CQ In today’s interconnected world, understanding cultural diversity isn’t just an option—it’s essential. But how prepared are you to navigate this complexity?

CQ measures your ability to be effective in culturally diverse settings, which is increasingly critical in a globalized space.

Seeing Used to Be Believing Did you see the realistic video of Justin Timberlake chugging alcohol while having his mugshot taken? That was generated from his recent infamous mugshot alone – pretty impressive. Or the online advertisements misusing then Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s image to sell investment opportunities? Way too far-fetched. While these are obviously fake, so many other pieces of AI-generated content are not so easy to spot and the results are as...

Singapore made the news again, but this time in the skies. On May 21, a Singapore Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Bangkok due to sudden and severe turbulence, resulting in one fatality and injuries to dozens of passengers. This was news for two reasons – death due to turbulence, which is relatively unheard of, especially on one of the best airlines in the world.

Very few people know that the personal computer was invented by Vietnamese expat Truong Trong Thi in 1973. This year marks the 50th anniversary. Just 50 years on and now we’re grappling with the rise of generative AI and the barrage of changes it is slated to bring.

From nobody to somebody I am immensely proud of the achievements of Le & Tran thus far. In the last 12 years, we have established ourselves as a formidable force in white-collar crimes, business litigation and arbitration in Vietnam. The challenges we faced and the mistakes we have made have shaped us into a young, resilient organization. However, I am convinced that if we continue on our current path, we will limit our potential for growth...
Why Even the Young, Savvy and Well-Educated Fall for Scams

I recently watched an Instagram reel of individuals recounting their near-miss experiences with AI voice clone scams. One girl spent two hours crying believing her brother had died in an accident. Turns out it wasn’t real; a scammer used AI deepfake technology to impersonate her brother’s voice and it was extremely convincing. Get this – as long as there is a video of yourself talking on any public social platform, your voice can be cloned convincingly....

ChatGPT passes law exams but fails PSLE Math and Science What an irony. CNN recently reported that ChatGPT passed law exams at the University of Minnesota, and then last week the Straits Times reported that it was terrible at the Singapore PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination) Math and Science. For those who are still in the dark, ChatGPT is hailed as the gold standard of all mainstream chatbots today. It is the celebrity of all generative/conversational...
