    THE Singapore government's automation push is, in broad terms, a good thing; but how it is executed will be crucial, if it is to amount to more than just a waste of public funds.

    After all, a great deal of money is at stake. In Budget 2016, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat revealed that over the next three years, the government will provide more than S$400 million in support for the Automation Support Package, and over S$450 million for the National Robotics Programme.
