Add BT as a preferred sourceREADERS will not need this column to inform them that this is a very busy time in Singapore. We are halfway through this nine-day "week" and a huge range of topics have been debated.
The main theme, however, for Singapore Maritime Week (SMW) 2019 - organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) - is "Driving Connectivity, Innovation and Talent" and perhaps more basically, as for every SMW, it is about bolstering Singapore's standing as a leading global maritime hub.
