Project Updates / Status

Here are the updates for the projects:

I ought to provide some updates about the project status but I'm quite busy with other stuff and hence delay.

4th Nov: Last week , I'm very busy with project and of course the amended versions of last and the final HRM tutorial (presentation) on leadership.

My adviser told me the earlier portions of the algorithm were incorrect and needed refinements. I quickly made changes and did some refinements. Just got back the changes on Monday and these few days focused on adviser's comments and made necessary changes to the draft version.

Recheck and recheck before the final version. Don't forget 6th Nov is the deadline for the report!


5th Nov: 6th Nov is the deadline for the report! Progress? Panic.

A great deal of time spent just to check and check through the alignments, settings, configurations, and of course print and submit to respective Profs.

6th Nov: The deadline for the upcoming report!
Submitted. Now, there is still need to showcase / demo the simulations and presentations.

Just hope that everything will be fine.

Singapore to keep manufacturing an "integral" part of economy

Singapore to keep manufacturing an "integral" part of economy
Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE: Singapore aims to keep its manufacturing industry an "integral" part of the economy as it seeks new strategies to help it grow faster than other advanced countries.

Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang told Bloomberg that the government is "very reluctant" to let the industry’s contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) drop "sharply". This is due to its multiplier effects on other parts of the economy, including logistics and business services.

Manufacturing accounts for about a quarter of Singapore’s GDP.

Mr Lim said that over the years, Singapore has built up some competitive strengths and good market share of some niches, in areas such as electronics, pharmaceuticals and maintenance overhaul of aircraft.

While he recognised that some segments of manufacturing may not be competitive in Singapore and may have to move out, there is constant restructuring taking place.

On the Economic Strategies Committee, the minister said he believes the committee studying the importance of manufacturing would subscribe to this importance and see how Singapore can continue to encourage manufacturing investments to take place here and to grow it.

The committee was formed in May and is expected to unveil its main recommendations in January.

How will Singapore continue to compete and yet be different from the rest of the world?
