We should strive to be on friendly and trading terms with all, with a broad thought to diversify and move away from traditional livelihoods, and shift our focus to education and training to establish a unique brand and identity of Singapore workers.

Our workforce should be entrepreneurial, innovative and must have a good attitude. They should be honest, disciplined, diligent, efficient and productive as well as prompt too.
