problems on housing, education and unemployment, the
government continues making improvement on industries and

Improvement on
industries
The problems:

there are not enough workers. Employers had to
employ foreign workers.
- Singapore also faced fierce competition from the
surrounding countries producing low-value goods.
It is hard for Singapore to export.
The solution
- The government tried to produce high value and
quality goods. Existing industries were encourage
to make use of modern invention to do work. This
would solve labour shortage.
- To produce high quality goods, more specialized
skill is needed. Special institutes were set up
to train engineers and technicians. Examples are
polytechnics and technological institute.
