SINGAPORE: Singapore cannot be a society that fears and rejects science and technology, for this will hold back progress and “be the end of us”, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Wednesday .
The Singapore ethos, Mr Lee said, must be one centred on rationality and transparency and the ability to examine and solve problems based on these. Mr Lee also highlighted the need for people with very strong engineering capabilities and a bigger pool of leaders and managers.The country needs a strong, broad base of tech talent, said Mr Lee. This means attracting and recruiting engineers to build teams of the calibre of the best tech companies in Silicon Valley and other such popular talent hotspots.
He also urged them to make the most of the opportunities afforded to them, including studying and working in some of these tech hotspots.
