As a photographer who makes meaning of the world through his pictures, Zakaria Zainal has published his first monograph "Our Gurkhas: Singapore Through Their Eyes", an anthology of portraits and anecdotes of the retired Singapore Gurkhas as they reminisce about life in the Lion city, from the 1950s till today. Zakaria documents events as they unfolded before his eyes, and has been moving away from traditional documentary work and photographs closer to home—or even closer to his heart.
TEDxSingapore celebrated its 4th anniversary by curating our 21st TEDx event since our launch on 15 April 2009. "Our Future, We Will Make" asked What shall we strive for? What makes us successful? ...as a country, as a community, as a family, as individuals. What does success mean? What Singapore would we be proud to build for Singaporeans who will come after us? What deeply matters to you? What are our possibilities? Watch more talks and see photos from this event here: [ Ссылка ]

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
