Singapore ranks No 2 in use IT for growth



SINGAPORE has retained its world No 2 position on an annual index that tracks how ready countries are in the use of information and communication technologies.
It has held on to this spot for a fourth consecutive year in the Networked Readiness Index (NRI). Finland topped the rankings for the first time, taking over from Sweden.
In a 383-page report published by the World Economic Forum and international business school Insead, Singapore was lauded for its "extreme efficiency and business friendliness of its institutional framework, strong intellectual property protection, intense competition, and high university enrolment rate".
Singapore gained top marks for the friendliness of its political and regulatory environment, as well as its business and innovation environment, which support high levels of infocomm use. It also topped the rankings on the economic and social impact of infocomm technologies, as well as the government's use of technologies.

NUS and NTU comes in 2nd and 11th in new ranking of top 100 Asian universities


The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Asia’s second-best university, and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is in 11th place.
This is according to the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings, a new list of the top 100 institutions in Asia, which was released on Thursday morning.
The rankings were based on data collected from 16,600 responses from academics in 144 countries for the 2012-2013 World University Rankings which was out in October last year. Universities were compared on 13 performance indicators which covered research, teaching, citations, international outlook and industry income, with the first three of the five categories carrying 30 per cent weighting each.
In a statement, Mr Phil Baty, editor of THE Rankings, said: “The overall World University Rankings top 400 list remains dominated by the US and other Western nations, and only includes 57 Asian institutions. So we are delighted to launch this Asia-only top 100 list to provide deeper and richer insights into the performance of Asia’s world-class research institutions, ranked against their regional peers.”

Singapore remains pro-business: PM Lee

It will continue to welcome foreign talent and investments


WASHINGTON - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has assured America's captains of industry that Singapore remains pro-business and continues to welcome foreign talent and investments to its shores.
Singapore is unwavering in its goal to grow a dynamic economy, he said, and will promise efficiency, predictability and high standards.
Growth, however, will slow as the country goes for qualitative change in restructuring its maturing economy, he added.
But he told the business leaders: "I want to assure everyone here that Singapore remains open for business.
"We are focused on growing a vibrant economy, to generate opportunities for Singaporeans and to create opportunities for companies to come to Singapore, to prosper in Singapore.
"We continue to welcome talent and investments, while being mindful of our physical and social constraints."
Mr Lee's assurance comes amid concern by foreign investors that Singapore is closing its doors as it continues to tighten the inflow of foreign workers, and Singaporeans' heightened resentment of foreigners, whom they blame for rising property prices and overcrowded public transport.
About 300 top corporate leaders were at the dinner on Tuesday hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce and the US-Asean Business Council.
They represent a wide swathe of industries, ranging from manufacturers like Procter and Gamble to energy giant ExxonMobil, both of whom have significant investments in Singapore.
In his speech, PM Lee, whose four-day visit to the United States ends today, also dwelt on free trade and developments in Asia, especially China.
He called on the US to push harder and more vigorously to increase trade with Asean, even while seeking to create an Asia- Pacific free trade area via the Trans-Pacific Partnership of 11 countries that includes Singapore and Japan.
Besides Asean's market of 600 million people, he noted that China is a top trading partner in almost all countries in South-east Asia.
"In Asia, trade is strategy. A more active trade agenda will benefit the US economically and strategically," Mr Lee said.
Finding new markets and keeping markets open are critical to America's long-term growth and employment, he added.
"The important thing is to have trade on the front burner, make it part of your toolbox, of skills, of tools, of instruments, which can bring about influence and prosperity in the world, and keep the US one of the leading economies in the world," he said.
On Asia, Mr Lee highlighted the key role of China on the world stage, even as it seeks to modernise itself.
As it looks for such models worldwide, it eyes Singapore and "tries to understand how we seek to balance our economic and social goals", said the PM.
"And we explain to them that we are also a work in progress and are feeling our way forward."
He urged the US and China to strengthen their strategic trust in each other.
While their interests in some global and regional issues would diverge, he said he believed there was "enough common ground" for them to accommodate each other's interests.
"The US, as the incumbent superpower which will remain dominant for decades to come, naturally has interests to protect," he said.
But China "wants its rightful place in the sun and will be wary of any perceived attempt to conscribe its freedom of action", he added.
"You have to build mutual confidence, in order to manage this shift in the global balance wisely and prudently."
Closer to home, his hope is for continuity and stability in Indonesia and Malaysia. While Malaysians will head to the polls soon to elect new leaders, Indonesians will do so next year.
Meanwhile, he noted that Asia's rapid development will offer many opportunities to the bold and enterprising.
"Looking at the world from Asia, the future is bright."

Obama points to 'extraordinary relationship' with Singapore


WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama highlighted the "extraordinary relationship" between Singapore and the United States, as he hosted Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Oval Office in the White House.

Addressing reporters just before the two men met on Tuesday, Mr Obama described Mr Lee as a "good friend" and Singapore as an "outstanding economic partner".
"Singapore is one of the most successful countries in the world," he said. "I think its progress and development over the last several decades has been an example for many countries around the world."
And as it rebalances towards Asia, Mr Obama said the US would continue to "seek out the advice and good counsel of Singapore, in how to effect that in a way that creates not only strong security but also increased prosperity for both the US and the countries in the region".
He added: "As a leader in Asean and the East Asia Summit, they've provided, I think, a steady vision of how countries in the Pacific region can cooperate effectively for the prosperity and security of all, and are strong promoters of rules of the road and international norms that the US strongly supports.
"Personally, I can tell you there are very few world leaders whom I am more appreciative of in terms of their advice, counsel and thoughtful analysis than Prime Minister Lee."
Mr Obama also thanked Singapore for its defence cooperation as the first of up to four American littoral combat ships arrives in Singapore later this month.
Dr Mark Borthwick, director of the US Asia Pacific Council at the East-West Centre, said Mr Obama's remarks were unusual and very strong. "He used the adjective 'extraordinary' not once but twice to refer to the relationship, and couched his remarks in unusually personal terms with reference to his growing up in the region," he observed.
Mr Lee met Mr Obama on the second day of his four-day visit to the country, his first there since 2010. The Prime Minister also paid tribute to their strong ties and said Singapore wants to help further US engagement with Asia.
"Singapore will do our part, what we can, to help America engage the region constructively, productively and in a way which fosters stability and prosperity for all the countries," he said.
During the half-hour meeting, the two leaders pledged to sustain greater economic engagement and promote bilateral trade and investment, said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office.
Mr Lee also invited Mr Obama to Singapore.
The meeting was the first in what was a busy day for Mr Lee. He also met US Vice-President Joe Biden and World Bank group president Jim Yong Kim.
In the evening, he spoke at a gala dinner where he reassured top US business leaders that Singapore would continue to open its doors to foreign talent and investments, even as it restructures its economy.
Yesterday, Mr Lee met Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Secretary of State John Kerry before travelling to New York for the second leg of his visit.
