Singapore edutech firms look to expand their business to the US

Edutech companies globally have enjoyed investments of nearly US$48 billion (S$64 billion) since the pandemic struck in 2020, more than the sector received in funding over the previous decade. Among the Singapore firms vying for a slice of the pie in the US is Ottodot, which creates games on online platform Roblox based on Singapore's science syllabus. CNA’s Chloe Choo reports from San Francisco.

“WHAT MISTAKE HAS he made?” Mr Goh Chok Tong partly pleaded and partly lashed out as it became clear that Mr George Yeo was going to lose his electoral contest in the 2011 general elections (GE). “You can take a minister and criticise him for not delivering on perhaps housing and transport. Like Wong Kan Seng you can say he let Mas Selamat escape. George Yeo, what has he done to deserve this?”

It was an extraordinary outburst as Mr Goh threw his colleagues – then housing minister Mah Bow Tan, transport minister Raymond Lim, and home affairs minister Wong Kan Seng – under the bus in a desperate attempt to 'exchange' them for his favoured colleague.

Hard questions were also asked of his leadership of the government. Mr Lee had to apologise – twice – during that GE for his administration's poor performance over matters such as the negative social effects brought on by the opening of the casinos, problems plaguing the public transport system, the mass intake of foreigners, and floods. He admitted: “These are real problems, ” and promised: “we will tackle them.”

Only he didn't. MRT breakdowns continue to frustrate commuters six years later, the gambling scene here was enhanced with the introduction of online betting in 2016, Singaporean workers are still being displaced by foreign ones, and floods have become a regular feature on our roads whenever the heavens open up.
