[Leongsam]

None of the other hubs have worked out so let's give "Foreign Talent HUB" a go.

SINGAPORE is well-placed to be a Home for Talent and is creating programmes of value to companies and talent, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday.

To take it futher, it will cluster research, practice and teaching institutions from the revion and world.

Among the new initiatives, the Economic Development Board (EDB) is spearheading the Singapore Leadership Initiative for building Networks and Knowledge (Link) at One-North.

This institute will bring together business schools, corporate universities and professional services firm in a single campus.

PM Lee announced this at the Singapore Human Capital Summit opening on Tuesday monring.

He said the clustering will strengthen the links between research, management and training, encourage corporations and academia to work together on real challenges and adopt new best practices.

Separately, he said the Ministry of Manpower and Singapore Management University will set up a Human Capital Leadership Institute to conduct pan-Asian research on key human resource challenges.

On such course will be the Singapore Business Leaders' programme for senior executives who are taking on regional or global roles.

'What Singapore can do, and tries to do, is to make ourselves stand out as an exciting and inviting corner of the world. In other words, we want to be a Home for Talent,' said Mr Lee in his opening address.

'To be a Home for Talent, we must provide exciting job opportunities and a high quality of life. We must also be at the forefront of human capital development, so that people see this as a place to stretch and achieve their potential.'

He added that Singapore should develop human talent for Asia as well as the Republic is at the 'cross-roads' of Asia.

'If we can help the Asian economies to gain talent and grow, we ourselves will in turn grow with them.'

Singapore Human Capital Summit - One people, one nation into one hub for one talent.
That is one "long dragon" for one idea.

So far what we see is foreigners coming in to compete on cheap wages and not quality as what the govt set out to achieve. There is a huge gap in what our dear PM Lee professed he wants to do and what has actually happened in the last 5 years.

And talk about high quality of life, what we experience is high cost of living but lower and lower quality of life with our purchasing power shrinking and the so called world transport system unable to cope with the huge influx of third rate foreign trash.

This fucking moron pinky ass Lee is just using the notion of 'HUB' to justify importing more FTs.
