Pre-Budget 2012 Dialogue



In an exclusive closed door session at the Pre-Budget 2012 Dialogue on 2 February 2012, Union Leaders had a lively dialogue with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on a variety of hot button topics at the top of their minds.

In his opening address, PM Lee revealed that Singapore had “not a bad year” in 2011, with relatively high growth, higher wages and low unemployment. However, the same cannot be said of this year, 2012. Moving forward, he touched on three key points to drive Singapore’s future economic growth and look after the welfare of Singaporean workers.

We bring you some exclusive behind-the-scenes video coverage and reporting.
