Tony Tan Singapore Quotations

Singapore is a natural gateway for international firms looking to access Asia and for Asian businesses to access the world.

Whatever initiatives we launch, we must always put the interests of Singaporeans and Singapore first.

Singapore is an international city, and it would be a grave mistake to close our doors.

How could I remain a spectator while Singapore faces such complex challenges? How could I not step forward when I know I have more to contribute to the country we all worked to build?

There is an urgent need for bold reforms to transform Singapore into an R&D-driven, innovative, knowledge-based enterprise economy, where we compete on knowledge and talent, in addition to efficiency and cost-effectiveness, ... Singapore needs to refocus its research and innovation agenda.
