Media Desk – commentary on Singapore for television, print, online and radio

The Media Desk

I am available to media organisations as a commentator on Singapore as an international financial centre, on the law of digital assets, and on the cross-border questions that companies, entrepreneurs and investors face between Europe and Asia. I am the author of the two books on this site. My commentary is that of an author and an observer. It gives no legal advice, and any advice on Singapore law is provided through KGP Legal LLC.

I work with television stations, print newsrooms, online media and radio, news agencies and business media, in broadcast quality and in several languages.

For television

A professionally equipped video studio with high-quality camera, lighting and sound allows me to record statements, interviews and soundbites and deliver them to your newsroom in broadcast quality, without your sending a camera crew. This saves you time, organisation and production costs.

For live links and remote interviews, I can use SRT and RTMP as well as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The technical specifications, delivery formats and delivery routes are summarised below.

Studio equipment and broadcast quality

All recordings are made under controlled studio conditions. You receive broadcast-ready material that can be used without further post-production, and I can accommodate other technical specifications and file formats on request.

Technical services

• broadcast productions in Full HD and 4K UHD

• image recording with studio and cinema equipment

• studio lighting for natural and even illumination

• voice recording with broadcast microphones

• precise colour and exposure settings for a consistent picture

Delivery of video files

Depending on the technical requirements of your newsroom, I deliver recordings in these production formats in particular:

For radio

For radio stations and podcast productions, I deliver soundbites and statements in broadcast audio quality over IP audio links, and I am available for telephone and studio interviews, live links and background conversations.

Subjects

I comment in particular on:

• digital assets, including the licensing of token services and stablecoins

• anti-money laundering rules and sanctions in international comparison

• family offices, trusts and private wealth across borders

• arbitration, mediation and the enforcement of awards and judgments across borders

• investment between Europe and Asia

Commentary in three languages

Commentary, interviews and soundbites are available from me in German, English and French. I can comment on the same development in more than one language, for international broadcasters, foreign correspondents and multilingual channels.

An international perspective

I place developments in Singapore in an international context, with reference to Hong Kong, mainland China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
