Many forumers want SG follow Hong Kong foot step to have bigger
share
of GDP in services industries,like finance.They blindly follow
the stupid
advice of western style thinking that when u have higher share
of GDP
in manufacturing,u are not a global finance center.
since 1997,HK always position herself as global finance
center.
Chief Exec,whether Tung or Tsand,would mention global
financial
center at least ten times in any speech.
CE Tsang,using SG as a bad example ,denounced manufacturing not
just one time.
He pointed out SG was the first went into recession.
How many jobs can financial services give to HK people?
But the recent direction of HK is just follow SG--
the testing and certification,
medical services,
innovation and technology,
cultural and creative,
environmental, and
educational services industries.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ -
I list below what SG have achieved in the different fields.
1.the testing
and certification,
4. Singapore already has a vibrant T&C services
sector, with well over 200 service providers present here,
including key international players. They provide calibration,
testing, inspection and certification services spanning all major
scientific, engineering and service disciplines. The third-party
T&C market in Singapore is valued at around $2
billion2 . Our
certification and test results command a high reputation as
Singapore is among the pioneers in the network of MRAs of national
measurement and accreditation systems worldwide. SPRING is a
signatory with 74 MRAs partners in 52 economies. This enhances
Singapore’s quality and trust brand in overseas markets.

testing and certification services are recognised in more
than 40 importing countries, including Australia, New Zealand,
2.medical
services,
Last year,abt 450,000 foreign patients seeking servies in
SG.
Abt one third of Raffles or Parkway medical group patients are
foreigners.
HK just full of China women to deliver in public and private
hospitals.
They want their babies to have right of residence (right of
abode)
of HK!!I think SG will get ten times of foreign mom to be to
deliver here,if SG
allow their babies can get SG PR or citizenship!!
