Gearing up for digital disruption and shocks in 2018

Dr Yap Kwong Weng, Regional Advisor (Indochina) from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy; Principal Advisor and Director of Strategy and Merger and Acquisition at KPMG Singapore; and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum opined that while growth across Singapore sectors will be uneven, the brightest hopes lie in manufacturing and trade-related sectors.
