Creating good jobs and opportunities for you and your children: Lee Kuan Yew

 

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠, said Mr Lee Kuan Yew, is 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, step by step.

"Each step we take is to open avenues for yourself and your children’s future and that is the message I want to convey very strongly before I am not able to say it." - Lee Kuan Yew

The globalized companies that Singapore wants to attract are staffed by talents from many parts of the world. These are companies at the cutting edge, breaking new grounds, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said.

Singaporeans may not have the skills needed for a higher level job in such companies.

What do we do? So 'no' to the investment because we lack the skills?

Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said:

"We land the investment first. Create the jobs in Singapore first. Work hard to train our people, upgrade their skills to take over the jobs as soon as possible."

This is the way we create good jobs not just for present Singaporeans but also for your children in time to come.
