    SINGAPORE is reviewing its research and development (R&D) programmes and policies ahead of the next five-year tranche of science funding.

    "This meeting was really about policies that we need to look at to ensure we enjoy continued success going forward, and to ensure that science and technology serves us well as a major thrust in our economic growth," National Research Foundation (NRF) chief Low Teck Seng said at a press briefing on Monday. This follows the 8th Research, Innovation and Enterprise Council (RIEC) meeting, which was chaired by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, last Friday.
