Governance gaps must be bridged as world continues to advance new technologies: DPM Heng

Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said governance gaps must be bridged, especially as the world continues to advance new technologies. He explained that tech innovation may sometimes run ahead of the ability to understand and harness it for good. Mr Heng was speaking to business leaders and start-ups from around the globe at a forum in San Francisco by Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC.

PAP longs to the 20th century, and it should have been left in the last century. But some voters had itchy fingers.
Ha ha ha!

The long list of management and operational failures and lapses (with many cases flagged by the Auditor-General), is mind-boggling, totally unprofessional and almost unbelievable for a Singapore that pride herself as a highly efficient, well-managed and corruption-free country.

With ai+5g the city wont need so much doctor, lawyer, office worker, even govt officials. Soon 1 person can build entire bridge project no need import laborers. It will be great if only need pay 1 govt official not multiple which saves alot of peoples money.

Gap?😂 the gap between government n true blue Singaporeans are getting wider by days. We are on different ships, trust does not exist anymore.

Can Mr Heng Swee Keat come forward as PM-designate and admit that the PAP government has indeed gone slack over the last 50 years and show us his courage to hold Ministers, Generals and CEOs in government agencies and GLCs for their failures to perform up to public expectations and commensurate with their million dollars salaries? Now as Finance Minister, can he be bold enough to compel Temasek Holdings to open its books to show the money its has made or lost as a sovereign fund like other Nordic countries?
