SINGAPORE needs to be more plugged into Asean and understand the region in order to seize the geographical advantage it has and stay ahead, Economic Development Board managing director Chng Kai Fong said on Monday.
He said that even though many Singaporeans go abroad on student-exchange programmes and internships, the interest is in going to places like Stanford University in the United States or universities in Europe, rather than to Jakarta or Ho Chi Minh City.
