    ENGINEERING is essential to Singapore's future and the government is doing its best to encourage more people to study it and work in this field, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

    At a dinner to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Engineers, Singapore (IES) on Friday, he noted that it has become harder to attract outstanding people to study engineering and take on engineering jobs.
