"We talked about new technologies and global trends, and Singapore's Smart Nation ideas," – PM Lee Hsien Loong, 16 Feb 2016 "In Singapore, people may not always see engineering like

• that. They see it as a support function - my computer is

broken, call an engineer and fix it. That's a different conception, and we really need to reposition our conception

is to us.” – PM Lee Hsien Loong, 16 Feb ‘16
