    SINGAPORE'S national training and productivity drive entered its next phase on Tuesday, with lawmakers passing bills to create two new statutory boards - SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and Workforce Singapore (WSG).

    The former will lead the push for skills upgrading and lifelong learning under the Ministry of Education (MOE), while the latter will focus on jobs under the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
