SINGAPORE will prioritise sectors "closely intertwined" with global supply chains - such as precision manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals and petrochemicals - as the country allows some businesses to gradually resume operations from May 12, said Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing.
Speaking at an online press briefing on Sunday, Mr Chan said that sectors that enable Singapore to "trade with the world and access critical supplies" will progressively restart first.
