Amid geopolitical volatility, Singapore’s competitive advantage must come from proactive efforts to remain relevant globally, said the Republic’s Coordinating Minister for Public Services and Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing. Geopolitics should not be seen as a passive backdrop which cannot be responded to. Instead, Singapore must proactively take action to find new competitive advantages, noted Chan. “Competitive advantage is something that we have to constantly seek and work on,” he pointed out. “There is no single panacea that will give us eternal competitive advantage.” The minister was speaking during a keynote dialogue at the 18th Asean & Asia Forum organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) on Monday (Aug 3).
