THE outlook for the publishing industry remains positive
worldwide and Singapore stands to gain from it, said Dr Lee Boon
Yang, Minister for Information, Communication & The Arts, at
the opening of a 10-day book extravaganza yesterday.
He cited a survey by PriceWaterHouseCoopers, which projected
that the global book publishing industry would grow at about 2.8
per cent annually to reach US$129 billion (S$195.37 billion) by
2012.
SM said don't some spending...ya...when you still continue to
earn millions in a iron rice bowl.
What a creative (think out of the box) way to get Singaporean to
spend and support the economy...
