Asians to watch

MANILA, Philippines—The Year of the White Tiger is said to be characterized by conflict and significant changes. As the world steps right into the new year, AsiaNews listed personalities from politics to business who deserve attention this year.

Who among them will create conflict or bring about change?

AsiaNews is the newsmagazine of Asia News Network, a group of 21 newspapers, including the Philippine Daily Inquirer, in 18 countries.

Because of limited space, Talk of the Town cannot feature the others listed by AsiaNews.

They are opposition leader Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan, former Prime Minister Puhspa Kamal Dahal of Nepal, Deputy Prime Minister Somsavat Lengsavad of Laos, Kim Jong-eun of North Korea, former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia, Finance Secretary Sri Mulyani of Indonesia, Chief Justice Sonam Tobgye of Bhutan, lawyer Kyi Win of Burma, Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia, the third generation offspring of Korea’s chaebol founders and businessman Tsai Eng Meng of Taiwan.
