Commenting on what could spark public interest in philanthropy, SMU Associate Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship and Academic Director of SMU’s Business Families Institute Kenneth Goh noted that people are often drawn to businesses not just for their overt social impact messaging, but for the social experiences and emotional connections these businesses create. Prof Goh made this comment in conjunction with the re-opening of the Temasek Shophouse on Orchard Road slated to reopen by Q4 2025, with expanded spaces dedicated to events supporting social and environmental causes.
