On 2 July, CAIG had its first Kopi Talk of the year, which welcomed members to gather in a judgement-free environment to exchange views and discuss the topic, ‘What does the “Right to Die” truly mean, and should euthanasia be legalised in Singapore?’. Embracing diverse opinions is the catalyst for broadening understanding of complex topics and empowering different voices.

We are already planning for the next Kopi Talk of the year, which will include a rather interesting pool of people! Watch this space for the upcoming news!
