According to him, “Every day, we become further convinced that we can never win the war against misinformation and disinformation unless our responses to them are timely and evidence-based.”

His word: “You don’t need to be reminded that you are a pillar of the nation’s security framework. While your combat operations only require your pens and electronic communication devices, the threat you neutralise saves the lives of even our military and para-military operatives fighting a different type of war.

“As experts, there’s not much I can ask of you other than to remind you to always listen and internalise feedback. You must engage with people of diverse perspectives, foster dialogues, and build consensus. This is a small price to pay for aggregating the needs and expectations of this diverse nation.

“So, always leave a seat empty for any group to join your table and don’t treat anyone as inconsequential because their views don’t align with yours.”
