Committee of Supply 2021 debate, Day 3: Jessica Tan on Singapore remaining a key manufacturing base

With the growing economic shift to Asia, Singapore is well-positioned to be a more resilient and advanced manufacturing base for the world, said Deputy Speaker Jessica Tan in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 2). But, she asked, given the COVID-19 pandemic, how will Singapore continue to be an attractive manufacturing base and move up the value chain? She also wanted to know what support is available for Singapore companies to access systems and platforms, know-how and networks to enter new markets.
