He appealed: 'No more small incremental steps please. Singapore now desperately needs big bold steps to break out of this little red box!'
SINGAPORE: Veteran architect Tay Kheng Soon has appealed to newly minted Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to implement his idea of turning the country’s autonomous universities into what he calls “enterprise campuses”.
The noted sociopolitical commentator has even filmed a YouTube video on this idea – a video he claims Mr Wong has seen. Calling on Mr Wong to put this idea into action, Mr Tay said that doing so would “turn Singapore over the next 10 years into the financial and innovation heart of South East Asia.” Both politicians previously met Mr Tay in 2017 to discuss another idea he had of creating a food street made of shipping containers that were rented out for a flat fee of $1,000 a month. Mr Tay claimed that this idea was ultimately deemed unfit for implementation “because it would upset existing rental profits of existing landlords.”
