On Monday, government-owned DBS Bank announced that it was investing S$20 million over five years to groom its 10,000 Singapore-based employees to become digital bankers as Singapore pushes ahead with its Smart Nation vision. Its announcement came a day after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong urged businesses in his National Day Rally speech to speed up their digital transformation.
