COMPANIES in Singapore have a critical role to play in shaping Singapore's future, said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam yesterday.
They need to help ensure that Singaporeans remain at the core of the workforce even as the country brings in expertise and skills from abroad.
They also have a responsibility not just to shareholders, but employees and the wider community as well, and must pull their weight in building an inclusive society here.
'Building an inclusive society is not just about the Government redistributing resources to help those in need,' said Mr Tharman, speaking at an awards ceremony to honour Singapore's top businessmen.
'We can only be an inclusive society if employers treat their workers with respect, help them develop themselves, and reward them fairly.'
