DOMAIN experts with deep specialist know-how are required as sectors transform and morph, said Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang during the Committee of Supply Debate on Friday.
The manufacturing sector, for instance, will continue to be an important part of Singapore's growth story, as it continues to move up the value chain into advanced technology and high-value areas.
