Chan to Singaporeans: Deepen understanding of region
Singapore

"Many people like to say, use Singapore as a platform to the region, as a springboard to the region, as a gateway to the region," he said during a dialogue at The Straits Times Global Outlook Forum held at the Raffles City Convention Centre.
