[SINGAPORE] In its new term, the government will position Singapore “as a home to leading firms, a key global business hub and a vital connector in the global economy”, Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong said in his ministry’s Addendum to the President’s Address on Tuesday (Sep 16).

It will also seize opportunities in new growth areas such as the green and digital economy; sustain investments in research and development; and encourage investments in the tourism and lifestyle sectors, said Gan, who is also deputy prime minister.

Meanwhile, Singaporeans will be prepared “to thrive in the new economy”, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in his ministry’s Addendum. The various ministries are releasing their plans following the President’s Address at the opening of Parliament on Sep 5.

What to know about Singapore’s retrenchment rules​

Jetstar Asia’s recent retrenchment exercisereignited scrutiny over how Singapore employers manage layoffs. Though the airline met legal requirements, employees learned of the decision at the same time as the public, triggering backlash and union scrutiny.

Experts told HRD Asia that retrenchment must go beyond compliance. According to Collyer Law’s Azmul Haque and Syma Zainab, employers should follow the Tripartite Advisory, which emphasises fairness, transparency and compassion.

Selection criteria must be objective and documented. Age, race, gender or marital status cannot factor into decisions. Poor documentation risks wrongful dismissal claims and reputational damage.

Unionised workplaces require early consultation and respect for collective agreements. Communication is key: how layoffs are announced often determines public perception.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) reports that retrenchment incidence remains low – 1.3 per 1,000 employees.

Retrenchments in Singapore fell to 3,300 in Q1 2025, down from 3,680 the previous quarter, but the list of companies cutting jobs is growing. With layoffs at Jetstar Asia, Samsung, SPH Media and MediaCorp, among others, workers are asking: what support is available?

Business sentiment is also cautious as fewer employers plan to hire or raise wages in the next quarter.

Government support includes the SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant and Productivity Solutions Grant. But experts warn that retrenchment must be a last resort, not a quick fix.

SINGAPORE - Carro, Southeast Asia’s largest used-car online marketplace, has raised US$60 million (S$76.5 million) in a funding round led by Japan sovereign wealth fund Cool Japan Fund, the company said on Sept 17.

The investment will go towards promoting Japanese cars across the Asia-Pacific region, Carro said in a statement, adding it was confident that it could increase the market share of Japanese plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the region.

Besides Singapore, Carro has a presence in markets including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

CEO Aaron Tan last week said the company was eyeing an expansion into Australia and a dual listing.

Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in August that Carro was considering a US initial public offering at a valuation of more than US$3 billion, which would be the largest Southeast Asian listing in the US since SEA’s US$989.3 million debut in 2017, according to LSEG.

It would also be the first major automotive tech and commerce startup from Singapore to go public in the US.

Durability over hype: Assuring Singapore’s talent edge​

Behind the Republic’s lower standing in the latest IMD World Talent Ranking is a drop in sentiment, not a structural fall

“TOGETHER, we are not afraid of storms,” declared Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee at the 2025 Hong Kong-Asean Summit on Sep 9.

The line was well-timed, spoken just as Hong Kong climbed five places in the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Talent Ranking, overtaking Singapore for the first time in recent memory. Lee touted the jump “a clear testament” to his government’s talent push.

The IMD World Talent Ranking assesses how well countries develop, attract and retain talent. It is closely watched by businesses and makes headlines each year.
