Its a high profile failure for Singapore's claim to its capabilities for complex, high-value manufacturing and global supply chain management and its drive to be a leading knowledge economy, powered by digital intelligence (that's what Tharman claim on the opening of IBM's Technology Park ).
Just like Hyflux, the million dollar ministers are there to claim credit when everything is rosy, but now all missing when things are rotten.
