In his provocative book of essays "Can Asians Think? Understanding the Divide Between East and West", Kishore Mahbubani, Singapore's United Nations Ambassador as well as High Commissioner to Canada, says they can't, at least not very well. He expands on this controversial statement and comments on Western arrogance in regard to democracy, human rights and the West's "free press". (Originally aired June 2001).
