[Outlook-in-Five] A Future-Ready Singapore

Singapore recently commemorated its 59th year of independence. At his inaugural National Day Rally as Prime Minister (PM), PM Lawrence Wong highlighted several significant long-term development projects, aimed at creating a more vibrant and inclusive society, ensuring the nation would be more well-equipped for the future.  This includes greater emphasis on upskilling, enhancements to the education system, more emphasis on family, and more recreation and sports facilities. These commitments would also lead to more investments in talent development for arts and sports, along with building new infrastructure and housing.  This “Forward Singapore” roadmap will require a major reset in policies, including keeping any regulatory burdens for companies to a minimum for businesses.
