The Empty Seats

This isn’t your usual glossy, stats-heavy sustainability video. Set on a quiet stage with rows of empty seats, this powerful visual presentation flips the script—no audience applause, no grand speeches. Just one speaker, facing silence, owning up to our environmental impact.

Created by the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, this film explores sustainability not as a buzzword, but as a personal commitment. Through minimalist visuals and raw introspection, it challenges us to stop performing for the crowd and start answering to ourselves. Because real change doesn’t begin with a standing ovation—it starts when no one’s watching.
