Gov’t to soon roll out new initiatives to attract top talents, says PM Lee

Lee said the initiatives will cover sectors with “good potential.”

New initiatives will soon be rolled out by the government to retain and attract top talents, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong revealed in his National Rally Day speech.

According to Lee, businesses invest in places where talent is, which is why Singapore should work to ensure that top talent everywhere "sit up, pay attention, and think seriously about coming to Singapore."

Lee said that if the government can get top talent to come to Singapore, it will help the country "shine brightly as a hub of innovation, entrepreneurship and growth."

"When it comes to top talent, we can never have enough. This is an age where talent makes all the difference to a nation’s success. We need to focus on attracting and retaining top talent, in the same way, we focus on attracting and retaining investments," the prime minister said.

"We must seize this opportunity, to secure Singapore’s place in the post-COVID-19 world. We already have schemes to attract and retain top talent, especially in the technology industry (IT). But we need to do more, especially in the sectors with good potential," he added.
