Natural Resources
In fact, Singapore does not have any natural resources and you know it by now. People say Singapore’s natural resource is its educated and skilled people. They are so educated and skilled that other international and local companies find them a good source of talent and human resource. Needless to say, these people are the main reason of Singapore’s economic success.
"If you don't include your women graduates in your breeding pool and leave them on the shelf, you would end up a more stupid society...So what happens? There will be less bright people to support dumb people in the next generation. That's a problem."
– MM Lee in 1983
Everything is changing. New challenges are trying to knock down every country. Singapore knows that she must remain productive and competitive to meet the challenges of an information-driven global economy. The main weapons to bounce the challenges back are – innovation, entrepreneurship, re-training workforce and even attracting foreign talents.
The country does not have even on single drop of oil but it has the third largest oil refinery in world. The raw materials come mainly from Saudi Arabia.
