In 2013, Singapore was granted Permanent Observer Status on the Arctic Council, no mean feat for a small country that sits on the Equator, as far as it is possible from the poles.
The Government made the application in 2012.
As a permanent observer Singapore has the right not only to attend meetings of the Arctic Council but also to propose and finance policies.
This is one achievement of the PAP Government that will have a big impact on Singapore's future.
Singapore is able to punch above its weight only because it is a successful country. It is a successful country because it has a good, strong and credible government.
