Govt and businesses 'should be more collaborative'

Singapore

THE relationship between the government and businesses in Singapore has to evolve into one in which both parties can debate, deliberate and co-create a business environment that is conducive to growth, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing has said.

"This is also key to how we see governance going forward. It is never about one party highlighting their challenges or problems and leaving another party to solve them," he said at the Pro-Enterprise Panel-Singapore Business Federation (PEP-SBF) Awards 2019 ceremony on Tuesday.
