Chan to Singaporeans: Deepen understanding of region

Singapore

THERE is a real need for Singaporeans to understand the region better, so that Singapore can add value as a springboard or gateway when partnering those who wish to enter the South-east Asian market, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing said on Wednesday.

"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.
