REC and PacificLight Power offers hybrid energy solution
News Brief
The Norwegian solar solutions company
REC, and PacificLight Energy (PLE), the
electricity power company of Singapore,
have announced a strategic partnership to offer
a new hybrid energy solution. The partnership
is a first in Singapore and the intention is to
encourage electricity consumers in Singapore
to adopt solar power as a source of clean and
renewable energy.
The collaboration between REC and PLE,
called the “PLEdge to RECharge Green Energy
Program”, will provide customisable solutions
for Singapore businesses that incorporate the
proportion of solar power best suited to each
customer’s energy needs, regardless of roof space.
Through these hybrid solutions, customers will be
able to reduce energy costs, while also decreasing
greenhouse gas emissions and pledging their
commitment to environmental sustainability.
Mr. Martin Cooper, Chief Executive Officer,
REC, said his company is proud to partner with
PLE to encourage Singapore companies to adopt
solar power as a clean energy source. Mr. Yu Tat
Ming, Chief Executive Officer, PacificLight, said he
was looking forward to working with REC.
“Customers in Singapore are increasingly
looking for innovative solutions which offer
greater choice and competitive pricing. Through
this collaboration with REC, PLE can offer
customers a tailored energy solution that is not
only cost competitive, but also helps to protect
the environment. ”
Through the cooperation, customers can
elect an ownership or leasing arrangement model
for solar panels provided by REC and the desired
proportion of energy generated by the solar
panels. The remaining energy requirements will
be met by PLE through the provision of natural
gas-fired electricity from Singapore’s energy grid.
Call +352 43 88 77 77 to find out more about our service
The program has been established in
response to the Singapore government’s support
for the development and deployment of solar
technology as part of its efforts to diversify the
nation’s energy mix. It also complements the
SolarNova initiative spearheaded by Singapore
Economic Development Board (EDB).
Speaking at the official launch of the strategic
partnership, Mr Goh Chee Kiong, Executive
Director, Cleantech and Cities, Infrastructure and
Industrial Solutions, EDB, said there was clearly
an increasing demand for energy solutions in
Singapore.
“This pioneering partnership is testament
to the increasing demand for renewable energy
solutions in Singapore,” he sais
The business model will also strengthen
Singapore’s position as Asia’s leading cleantech
hub where innovations are developed and
commercialised to serve the regional markets,
he said.
The program will be introduced for an initial
period of two years, during which time REC and
PLE will continue to explore innovative ways to
encourage companies to adopt green energy and
become more energy efficient.

News Brief
Karolinska and NTU make cancer discovery
A
team of 13 international scientists,
including the Swedish Professor Sven
Pettersson as one of two principal
investigators, in a joint multidisciplinary study by
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and
Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet, have announced
a significant breakthrough. They discovered that
an existing chemotherapy drug used to treat
leukaemia could prevent and control the growth
of colorectal tumours, commonly referred to as
colon cancer.
Colorectal cancer is one of the three most
common cancers worldwide and the most
common in Singapore. Almost 95 per cent of
colorectal cancers are from malignant tumours.
The research team found that Imatinib, an
enzyme blocker widely used to treat leukaemia,
works by blocking a signalling pathway related to
a group of cell receptors called EphB. This means
that when used to treat mice with colon tumours,
it was able to halve the growth of tumours in the
intestines.
The finding is also significant as currently there
is no drug available to prevent the recurrence of
tumours in the intestine after the cancerous
tumours have been removed by surgery.
Sven Pettersson is Professor of Metabolic
Disease at NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of
Medicine and senior principal investigator with
the National Cancer Centre Singapore.
The discovery was published on April 2 in the
prestigious academic journal Science Translational
Medicine.
“Our work has important clinical implications,
since Imatinib is a potentially novel drug for
the treatment of tumour formation and cancer
progression in patients predisposed to develop
colorectal cancer,” said Prof Pettersson, who is
also a Professor of Host-Microbe Interactions at
Karolinska Institutet.
Dr Parag Kundu, a senior research fellow with
Prof Pettersson’s lab and the first author of the
study, said that in their tests, Imatinib was able to
block tumour initiation at the stem cell level by
half and significantly reduced tumour growth and
proliferation.
“In mice which mimicked human colon
cancer, Imatinib was shown to prolong their life
span,” Dr Kundu said. “The drug was also effective
in increasing the survival of mice which had latestage
tumours and rectal bleeding.”
New assistant couple at the Danish Church
The Danish Seamen’s Church has made a
change in staff. At the church service 26th
of April, Laila and Søren Sørensen were
introduced as the new assistant couple.
Laila, 48, and Søren, 53, are from Midtjylland
where they still own a farm. They’re seasoned in
the church community, since both of them have
worked as church ushers. Laila recently worked
6 ScandAsia.Singapore • May 2015
The same effects were also shown when
Imatinib was tested on colon tumour tissues
taken from human patients.
Colon cancer usually develops first as
benign tumours, which when left untreated turn
aggressive, and may spread to other parts of
the body. The main treatment in the early stages
of colon cancer is through resection, where
the affected section of the intestine is removed
through surgery.
The scientists said these findings also suggest
that short term intermittent chemotherapies
could be possible as a treatment model, as
this would substantially reduce the side effects
known to occur when Imantinib is given for longer
periods.
“Our findings provide experimental evidence
that Imatinib treatment did not interfere with the
tumour suppressor function of EphB receptors,”
said Jonas Frisén, Professor of Stem Cell Research
at Karolinska Institutet, who co-supervised the
study.”
This is beneficial as EphB receptors also
function to keep the tumour intact, which prevents
cancerous cells from spreading to surrounding
tissue should the tumour break apart.
The multidisciplinary study was conducted
over a period of five years, at both NTU and the
Karolinska Institutet.
It is supported by NTU’s Lee Kong Chian
School of Medicine, the Singapore Millennium
Foundation, the National Cancer Centre
Singapore, the Swedish Research Council, the
Swedish Cancer Society, Karolinska Institutet, the
Tobias Foundation, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg
Foundation and the Torsten Söderberg
Foundation.

In a newsletter from the Danish Seamen’s

job because they like challenges and something
new had to happen in their lives. They add how
much they appreciate the welcoming from the
church staff.
IKEA Singapore
responds to anti-gay
allegations
Swedish furniture retail store IKEA has
come under criticism in Singapore due
to promoting a magic show that features
pastor Lawrence Khong of Faith Community
Baptist Church, who is known locally for his views
against homosexuality.
After reviewing it support the retailer decided
not to change its position on the support to Vision
magic show, to be restaged at the Esplanade
Theatre in July 2015. Members of IKEA’s loyalty
programme enjoy discounted rates for Vision.
Gay rights activists and indivisuals opposed
IKEA. Members of Singapore’s LGBT community
questioned the gay-friendly Swedish furniture
giant’s support of the anti-gay pastor.
‘Many people know how diversity-friendly
and inclusive IKEA is as an international family
brand. They have even won international awards
for positive portrayal of LGBT persons in their ad
campaigns,’ Leow Yangfa of of Oogachaga, a gay
counselling service had told media.
According to Singapore media reports Khong,
who once called the LGBT rights movement the
‘onslaught of the evil one’, has repeatedly urged
the government to retain its colonial-era antigay
sex law and championed the LoveSingapore
network of churches to lobby against gay equality
in Singapore.
IKEA Singapore responded on their Facebook
page on April 21:”Dear IKEA fans, thanks for your
patience while we took time to come to an
informed decision on an issue that has raised
sensitivities in our community.
“After listening to the questions raised, we
decided to do a thorough review. We spoke
directly with the organisers, reviewed the content
and confirmed that the Vision show offers high
family entertainment value, therefore we will be
continuing our promotion. We regularly offer
promotions to our IKEA FAMILY members across
a variety of entertainment options, and in this
case, our IKEA FAMILY members were being
offered a discount on tickets to the show.”
”As a company, IKEA Singapore respects the
diversity and equality of all people living in our
community. We also respect that all individuals
have a right to their opinions and personal
choices, including the freedom to choose their
preferred entertainment.”

bakery from Taiwan, joins Singapore in its 50th year celebration of
independence with a limited SG50 package design. Illustrated by a
local artist with inspiration drawn from Singapore’s lifestyle scene
and multi-racial community, this is an ideal gift to present to your
family and friends back home.
Driven by the passion to produce the perfect mouthwatering pineapple
cakes, Sunnyhills’ chef, Mr Lan ShuTing, uses an innovative baking mould
researched over the time to achieve the utmost baking excellence in
the creation of the finest pineapple cakes. Keeping a consistent baking
temperature brings forth an evenly baked pastry on all six sides making it
an aesthetical masterpiece that tastes as good as it looks.
Only the finest ingredients sourced from around the world are used
these refined delicacies, such as gourmet baking flour from Japan, prized
French AOP Echire butter and pesticide-free sun-ripened pineapples from

intense and rich flavor. A slow cooking process that ages the pineapples
yields stuffing that is robust and natural-tasting that combines beautifully
with a pastry shell that is delicately creamy.

The importance
of dancing
and giving
Adrian Ulrich Skjoldborg is a 25-year old professional dancer from
Copenhagen who has been living in Singapore for about a year now as
part of the contemporary dance company Frontier Danceland. He aims to
give the audience something with his dancing
By Søren Engelbrecht
The room is nothing but silence as he
stops to reflect.
“I want for my audience to
become better human beings.
Through my art.”
He does that a lot. Smiles, reflects shortly
and then answers the question. He always ends
the answer with a smile. Ready for next question.
From hip-hop to ballet
Adrian Ulrich Skjoldborg is a 25-year old
professional dancer from Copenhagen. He has
been living in Singapore with his girlfriend for
about a year now and a part of the contemporary
dance company Frontier Danceland for almost
the same amount of time. This is where he
performs his modern dance art, this is where he
practices for several hours every day so he can
give something to his audience.
He started dancing 10 years ago when a
friend introduced him to hip-hop dancing, and
it just clicked right away. The music and the
movement combined came natural to him and
he kept getting better. So he danced a lot. And
then he danced some more. And then he danced
all the time.
10 ScandAsia.Singapore • May 2015
I couldn’t reason why
my dancing should make
them grow as human
beings or give them a better
life. I couldn’t address what
they actually took away
from my art
“I started dancing one time a week, then two
or three times a week and then ten times a week,”
he remembers.
The dance became such a big part of his life
that he took a year off after 9th grade to focus on
his dancing. Adrian despises the thought of having
a job with the sole purpose of paying for the roof
over his head, so it was an important moment
for him when his hip-hop dancing teacher told
him that he could dance for a living if he worked
hard and devoted. Of course he would. So after
the one year off, he went to study in London at
the School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance.
The hip-hop dancing was replaced with some
more modern movements, and Adrian saw an
opportunity to dance a roof over his head.
Trouble in dancing paradise
In the fall of 2013 the dancing almost came to an
end, though.
Adrian had been traveling Scandinavia with
different dance productions most of the year,
when he hit a wall of frustration. His heart wasn’t
in the productions and the movements were
mechanic. Slowly, the dancing had become a
joyless job, so, during a production in Sweden, he

started questioning the way he used to view his
dancing; as art.
And then the doubt became more
existentialistic.
“I asked myself, ‘do I really give my audience
something through my dancing, through my art?’”
he recalls and reflects shortly in silence.
“I couldn’t reason why my dancing should
make them grow as human beings or give them
a better life. I couldn’t address what they actually
took away from my art,” he says as he focuses
his stir again and replaces the pensive look with
a wide smile.
Carrots and dark desires
Adrian’s hair surpasses his shoulders in a
loose ponytail both heavy and feathery from
the high humidity, and a Salvador Dali worthy
handle bar moustache adds the artistic touch
to his appearance. Besides some tape around
his insteps, the post-sweaty body doesn’t
seem to ache, which is good because after the
one-hour lunch break he is back at it, back in
the rehearsing gym dancing the calluses off
his feet.
He has found the reason again to spend
all these hours rehearsing choreographies and
practising movements. His art makes sense
again. A couple of months ago, Adrian realized
that people really do can get something from
his art.
And that brings us back to the beginning.
Contrary to his career-doubting crisis in Sweden,
here in Singapore at Frontier Danceland he can
now elaborate on the function of his art. First
and foremost it’s important to acknowledge that
art is a spiritual matter, you can’t gain anything
materialistic from it.
“It’s not like I’m growing a carrot that I can dig
up and eat because my body needs it. Neither my
audience or I get any food from the movements
I make,” Adrian says gesticulating all way through
his metaphor.
But there is something else to his art.
According to Adrian, art, be it a painting, a song
or a dance move, is expressed from the soul and
therefore speaks to other souls. And that gives art
another dimension.
Adrian Ulrich Skjoldborg during the interview with
Soren Engelbrecht of ScandAsia.
As an example, Adrian refers to a book, he
recently read, which states that all human beings
have dark desires more or less supressed.
“It can be difficult to overcome these desires
like ‘I want to kill’ or ‘I’d like to have sex with…
3000 women’. All sorts of dark desires. But art can
make them more or less vanish and bring you, as
a human being, up to a new sphere.”
It has been a while, but then he hesitates.
“And that’s what I want to do.”
The Singaporean potential
Adrian uses his hands to illustrate that Europe
is “up here” and Singapore is “down there”
when it comes to dancing and art in general. It
is not nearly as developed here in Singapore as
it is back home. But he chooses to see this as a
good thing.
“In Denmark, I can’t give as much with my
dancing as I can here in Singapore, because
where I come from, many people share my
thoughts when it comes to art and spirituality,”
Adrian says.
In Singapore, people don’t respond in
same way when he performs. There is a lot
of polite clapping, but not many *wuhuus*, he

Singaporean audience is a challenge with huge

Sensavis’ 3D
educational software
reaches Singapore
By Joakim Persson
A
relatively young, innovating Swedish
software developer, Sensavis has
successfully introduced its 3D
software for education purposes,
‘The 3D Classroom’, in Singapore.
Tanglin Trust School has become Sensavis’
first Asian client of ‘The 3D Classroom’ which
was first launched in Sweden in late 2013, says
the CEO. The contract is a telling example of the
kind of reactions they are getting on the market.
“I presented our product for two teachers
and their Director of Learning. It took ten minutes
and then they said: ‘We must have this!’ Once we
get a meeting with a school this is usually the
reaction,” says Fredrik Olofsson, President & CEO,
who joined the company to build up a profitable
business model, steering Sensavis to focus on the
educational sector; a decision which has proven
to be the right choice.
“We are very excited by the potential of
3D technology to help students to visualise and
explore complex systems, such as the human
body. Tanglin embraces new technology wherever
it supports and enhances the learning experience
for our students and we feel that Sensavis have
developed a software tool which will integrate
very well with our approach to teaching and
learning,” commented the CEO of Tanglin Trust,
Peter Derby-Crook. ‘The 3D classroom’ will be
used in their Junior and Senior Schools.
“The innovation is relatively new, especially
in an international perspective it’s very new. And
it’s a great joy when something like this, built by
a small company, can generate such attention
wherever you present it.”
The product must really be experienced live
12 ScandAsia.Singapore • May 2015
to grasp it, while any description in words can
give you an idea of what this is about: “We are
building high-quality animations. So for example
we have designed the human body in 3D and
there’s nothing particular with that - many are
doing that - but we allow that on a completely
interactive level. The teacher can navigate via a
computer mouse within the human body and
look at fine details, for instance how blood
absorbs the oxygen, on micro level within the
lung.”
A customer described this 3D experience
as what they had always expected and wanted:
the ability to go beyond superficial visualization
to truly experience the long-desired ‘fantastic
voyage’ that 3D had always seemed to promise.
Developed in collaboration with educators,
Sensavis describes it as teacher-centric tool that
reinforces the experience and increases interest
while the product’s most important feature is its
interactivity and the high degree of realism within
the visualised material.
The idea is to be able to go from a high
level of abstraction to a low level (from macro
to micro) without having to skip a stage where
pupils risk losing comprehension. This means that
you have a teaching aid that does not limit how
you present something; you use the product to
explain exactly what you intend to, in the way
that you need.
The teacher decides, in real time, how to
present a certain topic, say a heart, and how close
to zoom in to show how the heart functions.
“The main thing is to be a tool for teachers
that enables them to visualise during a school
lesson how for example how the human body
looks on the inside and thus making the students
to really understand and in that way, increasing the
motivation,” says Fredrik Olofsson.
“We continue developing content based on
the requests from teachers. So we don’t follow
any particular curriculum, instead we listen to the
teachers: What is abstract for their students to
understand? And we build our product based on
that. So the whole idea with what we are doing
is assisting the teachers to explain complex and
abstract things so that all students understand,
in all age groups. So our product is being used
from kindergarten to college level,” he explains
further.
Currently the product includes six educational
topics. The 3D Classroom is in use by more than
150 schools in Sweden, Finland, UK, the US and
now also Singapore.
The software is based on the Windows
platform and can from April this year run on an
ordinary PC. Sensavis has met great interest from
Microsoft.
“In particular in Asia they have really hooked
on it and support us with various sales meetings
and other partners. Though it’s a small Swedish
innovation it has global appeal, since the teaching
in these subjects works more or less the same
the world over.”
Apex Business Advisory has helped Sensavis
in entering Singapore and researching the Asian
market, eyeing also Indonesia and Malaysia as
markets where to start dialogues. The Indian
market is also a target. There are very promising
things in the works in Singapore, and they are
going about things carefully step by step, says
the CEO.

Denmark and Singapore:
50 years
of diplomatic relations
By Joakim Persson
In the evening on 20 April 2015 the Royal
Danish Embassy in Singapore held a
significant reception, as it celebrated not
only the auspicious occasion of the 75th
birthday celebration of Her Majesty, Queen
Margrethe II of Denmark but also the official
launch to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations
between Singapore and Denmark.
The Danish Ambassador HE Berit Basse
hosted the event with ministers from both
countries present, all highlighting in their speeches
the two countries’ many joint efforts throughout
the years and that have only increased. Clearly
they are also aiming for even stronger ties within
many areas for the future, and where sustainability
is a core theme - and a necessity, in particular for
small countries with few natural resources like
Denmark and Singapore.
Also, for historic and geographic reasons,
many of the strong business sectors and future
focus areas in the respective countries are the
same so it is really obvious that there are many
common denominators and mutual interests.
In particular focus is that their respective
governments are championing green growth
through eco-cities. Denmark has a long tradition
in urban development that strives to achieve
balance between the goals of its people, businesses
and environment, and where Copenhagen plays a
role model for sustainable and liveable cities.
The ‘State of Green’ is Denmark’s green
brand putting into action the Danish aspiration
to develop smart nations that are optimised for
economic activity, as well as water, resource and
energy efficiencies.
A sustainable and liveable future is also at
the heart of Singapore’s smart city development
agenda.
“Denmark and Singapore share many common
attributes in these respects,” said ambassador
Berit Basse. “Our two countries have benefitted
greatly from one another’s experience and skills
through high-level bilateral visits, professional
exchanges and deepened collaboration due to
memorandums of understanding (MOU). In
recent years, the collaborations opportunities
are being created at an accelerated pace,” she
noted.
That the year 2015 marks the golden jubilee of
diplomatic ties between Denmark and Singapore
has made these activities even more significant
and meaningful. The ambassador explained that
they are looking at expanding also to new areas
for the future.
“We have 50 years of bilateral ties to prove
our friendship. For the next 50 I think both
Singapore and Denmark, being leaders in smart
cities, water technologies and sustainability
solutions will have much more to share and learn
from one another. This is the space where our
industries and think tanks can come together to
provide real solutions that the world today needs
urgently to solve its challenges and problems,”
she added.
In his speech on this occassion, Mr. Lui Tuck
Yew, Minister for Transport and Second Minister
for Defence, also reflected on the strong and
warm bilateral relations between Singapore and
Denmark.
“As small nations, we share many interests
and perspectives. These have resulted in deep
co-operation not only in international affairs
and business, but also in education and training,
research and many other areas. I am confident
that in the years ahead, both our people-topeople
and bilateral ties will grow from strength
to strength,” Mr Lui Tuck Yew said
“Singapore and Denmark are both working
proactively to support growth in their maritime
clusters and both countries have a profound focus
on leveraging the potential of being leading global
maritime nations.”
He also noted Arctic affairs as a new area for
cooperation, where Singapore applied for and
was admitted as an observer state in the Arctic
Council in May 2013, and where he appreciated
the support given from Denmark.
“Our bilateral relations go beyond
cooperation in international affairs and business.
Our government agencies have visited your
country to learn from you, on wide-ranging
topics such as sustainable development, smart
cities, early education and innovation. Among our
educational institutes, the Singapore Management
University and the Copenhagen Business School
have on-going exchange programmes to promote
cross-cultural learning,” Lui Tuck Yew noted.
He also looked to yesteryear and brought
up examples going further back in time than the
founding of modern Singapore.
“Although diplomatic relations were
established in 1965, ties between our countries
and peoples go back far longer. The first Danish
consulate in Singapore was set up in 1845 to
prepare for the arrival of the Danish vessel,
Galathea, during its expedition around the globe,”
he said.
Denmark’s Minister for Business & Growth,
Henrik Sass Larsen expressed that it was a great
honour for him to be present. In his speech he
highlighted some of the man new areas within
which Denmark and Singapore are cooperating.
“One example is the Danish food industry,
which is becoming firmly established here in
Singapore. This was recently highlighted by the
first visit of a Danish Minister for Agriculture to
Singapore last year.”
Two other new areas of cooperation are
Architecture and Urban Development. Last
year our Minister for the Environment signed
a Memorandum of Understanding on water
and environmental innovation. And we hope to
expand this cooperation in creating liveable and
sustainable cities.
He mentioned that the Danish embassy’s
efforts to promote new initiatives from Denmark
for ‘Smart Cities´ solutions is planned be
presented at an event in the fall as a celebration
of the Danish-Singaporean 50th anniversary.

Does the world really need
Frazer Cairns, Head of UWCSEA’s Dover Campus,
discusses the idea of leadership in the context of
an everyday life making a meaningful impact on
the world.
14 ScandAsia.Singapore • May 2015
A
quick scan of school websites brings
a realization that, increasingly, the
mission statements and learning
programmes of many are almost
identical. Everybody seems to be
offering an education that is ‘holistic’, ‘missiondriven,
‘challenging’, ‘balanced’ and ‘global’ and
which promotes the crucial ‘21st century skills’.
Leadership is another such word and countless
schools now seem to be suggesting that they are
churning out future leaders by the dozen. I am
left wondering what a world populated by so
many leaders will look like, particularly because
the image of leadership conveyed is often that of
an individual in a position of responsibility making
important decisions. Surely not everyone can be
in charge?
A parent once sent me an article from the
New York Times in which the author asked if
there was any room for the ordinary any more.
Was there a place for the child or teenager (or
adult) who enjoys a basketball game but is far
from Olympic material; who plays the violin but
not to concert standard; who will be a good,
decent citizen but won’t be a world leader?
She went on to quote Brené Brown, a research
professor at the University of Houston Graduate

more leaders?
School of Social Work and author of the book
‘The Gifts of Imperfection’ who wrote that, “In this
world, an ordinary life has become synonymous
with a meaningless life.”
Madeline Levine, an American psychologist,
wrote that she was once scheduled to give a
talk about parenting the average child at a school
in California. Although she usually commanded
large audiences, not one person showed up.
“Apparently no one in the county has an average
child,” said Levine. All too often, the rhetoric
of success is defined by accolades and the
extraordinary. As a result, parents are increasingly
anxious that there just isn’t going to be enough
room for even the straight-A, piano-playing, hard
working child. Going to a lesser university or ‘just
being average’ will in some way doom children
to a life that will fall far short of what we want
for them.
The Times article struck home and I was
reminded – somewhat uncomfortably – of an
incident after securing what I thought was an
outstanding graduation speaker at my former
school. The person in question was a world
famous climber, who had both saved lives and been
saved by others, and who had made numerous
first ascents of mountains across the globe. In
a moment of hubris I made a comment to a
colleague to the effect that the speaker moved
the school’s graduation ceremony away from
the normal, boring, middle-aged businessman
or woman. Back came the reply, what a shame
for Mr or Mrs Middle-Aged. They were probably
was just wasting their time being decent people,
supportive partners and loving parents, instead of
being heroes, out to change the world.
I don’t by any means wish to devalue the
extraordinary. The world needs extraordinary
individuals to act as agents for change - polar
explorers like Tim Jarvis (UWCSEA Class of
1984) to shake us from our apathy about global
warming; paralympians like Stephen Miller to
challenge our views about disability; young people
like Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani campaigner, to
force us to confront the realities of inequality and
discrimination, despite the personal dangers she
faces. The world also needs inspirational leaders
who will bring about greater stability, peace and
understanding.
But I do think that it is wrong to imagine
that only extraordinary people can bring about
change, and to confuse the words ‘ordinary’
and ‘normal’ with ‘insufficient’ or ‘impotent’. My
mountain climber did not necessarily have more
to say that was worth listening to than Mr or
Mrs Middle-Aged, nor had they necessarily had a
more beneficial effect on society.
Not all leaders lead from the front, and not
all impact is felt immediately or in a dramatic
way. The modern understanding of leadership
is increasingly about the use of influence rather
than positional power. Leaders are now said to
lead by mobilizing people around a compelling
vision of the future, and by inspiring them to
realise that vision. They show people what is
possible; they energize them and give them a
sense of purpose. They also leave them with a
deeply seated sense of accomplishment when
the work is done. Though position is important -
it gives access to information and resources that
otherwise can makes a particular task far more
difficult to achieve – it is not essential. The best
leaders act as teachers, mentors, and role models
regardless of what it says on their nameplate. They
accomplish the most important parts of their
work collaborating with others to gain support
and cooperation, in order to drive strategy and
accomplish goals.
Thought about this way we can all be leaders.
Ordinary people leading ordinary lives can
produce extraordinary results, if the weight and
focus of that group is sufficient. I suspect that
hundreds or thousands of people taking informed
and compassionate decisions can have a more
lasting affect on history than the words or actions
of a single individual, even though these decisions,
these ‘unhistoric acts’ in George Elliot’s words, are
made by a “number who lived faithfully a hidden
life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
Clearly I hope that the UWC schools and
colleges will help to produce extraordinary
people; people who will take an issue by the horns
and shake up the world. However, I also hope
that those same schools and colleges will help to
produce a far greater number of nurses, carers in
old people’s homes, loving parents and supportive
friends who recognize that their collective actions
can have as great and long-lasting an effect on the
world. If the UWC movement is to “unite peoples
nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable
future”, it is likely that we will do it by ensuring that
all our students recognise that everyday leaders
living ordinary lives and making mindful choices,
can have an extraordinary impact.

Danish solar ambitions
in the Philippines
Leo Sørensen is truggling to convince the Filippinos that alternative
energy works. He is up against local logic that makes buying a cheap
coffee machine a better investment even if it only lasts for a year than
buying a more expensive that lasts five years. And only when he tells
that Einstein invented the solar cell is the technology trusted. Be he still
believes that in a few years, alternative energy will gain popularity in Asia.
By Louise Bihl Frandsen
Leo Sørensen at a conference about quality points of a solar power system
think that five or seven years are a long time to
invest in something, before it pays off.
“A lot of people here are fine with buying
cheap coffee machines or whatever, which
eventually breaks down one year later, and then
they will say: ‘No problem, at least we got coffee
for a while,” Leo says and continues:
“There is nothing wrong with thinking this
way, it simply states a fact of the way of common
thinking here – which is much different from
Scandinavia”.
For Skandinavian Solar quality is crucial. All the
hardware the company uses in their systems must
be documented bankable and insurable.
“That means that if a company wants to have
a Solar Power System from us financed by their
bank, they are ensured that a serious bank will
support them financially, because our products
and procedures live up to the international
standards required to achieve this,” Leo explains.
Leo Sørensen, the Danish founder of
Skandinavian Solar in the Philippines, is a
serious and patient Danish businessman.
He established Skandinavian Solar in the
Philippines in the beginning of 2014 and
although he admits that he has not sold tons of
products yet, the company is slowly getting there
with several hundred positive leads.
“I knew it would be a long process, however
at the moment I have around 200 leads in the
pipeline, we cater to both big and small, around
100 of them are companies with commercial
needs and the rest residential clients. Around 12
larger commercial deals are in the last stages of
being finalized,” Leo says.
He is 100 per cent convinced that alternative,
in particular solar energy, has come to stay in Asia.
“No doubt about that, whether it is to achieve
savings on your electric bill or to have security in
your energy supply. I believe that already this
year alternative solutions will gain much more
popularity and from then on it will grow very
fast,” Leo says.
Still he believes that it is no use to try to swim
faster than the flow. The negotiation process and
everything takes longer time than in Denmark,
and also longer time than Leo expected actually.
“We are learning more every day, it is a
18 ScandAsia.Singapore • May 2015
process that never stops and it is not so simple
to adapt Danish quality mentality to the mindset
in Asia,” he says.
Einstein
“The Pinoys (Filipino people) are very suspicious
to alternative energy actually. Some find the
systems a bit like magic. They are asking the
question: ‘Can this thing – standing towards the
sky, really make energy?’” Leo tells.
That is why the Danish businessman saw it
necessary to find other and maybe unusual sales
arguments to convince some of the most sceptic
costumers that solar system technology is not a
scam, but in fact a very old and mature technology.
A long time ago he started to read up on the
history of Solar Power, as we know it today, and
that it is in fact based on one of Einsteins theories.
“It seems to work, when I tell my costumers
that Einstein actually won a prize for his theories
about photoelectric effect in 1921. In Denmark
though, I never mentioned Einstein in a business
conversation,” Leo laughs.
Cheap coffee machines
Installing a sustainable energy solution is also not
as glorified in the Philippines as in Denmark, and
many of the potential customers, Leo talks with,
Constant Energy
In many areas in Asia, power blackouts are very
common. According to Leo, the right system can
help the quality of life and business in those areas.
“There is already a great need for our
“Constant Energy Solutions” in any island or
remote location where a good infrastructure is
not in place,” Leo says.
Skandinavian Solar’s ‘Constant Energy’
solution integrates Solar Power, Energy Storage
and Fossil Fuel Generators into one centrally
managed solution. So no matter what happens,
there will always be energy available while burning
only a minimum of fossil fuels.
According to Leo, this solution makes sense
to many people in the greater Asian region, where
the electrical grid is very unstable or simply not
there.
Green ambitions
Leo has also been looking towards countries like
Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
“If the prices on electricity in these countries
increase too much, people will start looking for
other alternatives to save money. And when that
happens, you can be sure that I will also start
looking in that direction as well. It is not my dream
to expand, it is my strategy,” Leo says.

Student Liam catches a glimpse of his hero Miguel in the library
… YOUR CHILD WALKED AMONG HEROES?
Would they learn that they also have the power to
improve the world? That’s one of the inspiring ideas in
a UWCSEA education.
Take the day Grade 6 student Liam met Grade 12
student Miguel. Miguel had survived living in hiding
in the jungle during the war in Timor Leste. He came
to share his story with Liam’s class when they were
studying the effects of conflict on communities.
Miguel explained that he was now attending UWCSEA
on a scholarship, and hoped in the future to return home
with his education to help the people in his country.
UWCSEA Dover is registered by the CPE CPE Registration No. 197000825H Registration Period 18 July 2011–17 July 2017
UWCSEA East is registered by the CPE CPE Registration No. 200801795N Registration Period 10 March 2011–9 March 2017
With this meeting, Liam learned the reality of war and
that among his schoolmates was a real-life survivor and
hero. He saw that attitude triumphs over adversity, and
was more inspired to help others in any way he could.
Liam met another hero at UWCSEA—himself.
