Manufacturing will remain a key focus for the Government as it expects
investment commitments for the sector to reach a record high this year.
Speaking at the opening of Global Entrepolis @ Singapore yesterday
evening, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said: “The Government is fully
committed to keeping manufacturing a key pillar of the economy.”
“EDB expects to end this year with manufacturing investment commitments in
Singapore reaching a record high,” he added.
The Economic Development Board has forecast fixed asset investments (FAI)
for manufacturing to be between $8.5 million and $9 billion this year.
Last year, the FAI forecast was between $8 billion and $8.5 billion but
actual investments were $8.8 billion.
The best in manufacturing were given due recognition last night with the
Manufacturing Excellence Award (Maxa).
In its second year, Maxa is the only national award benchmarked to global
manufacturing standards.
Tetra Pak Jurong, this year’s big winner, received top marks for
production and operational performance and employee training.
Other winners included Kenwood Electronics Technologies Singapore, 3M
Singapore and Systems on Silicon Manufacturing.
