A GERMAN businessman who sits on the National Wages Council (NWC) wants multinational companies here to tell their home office that Singapore is a country unlike advanced nations where unions and management tend not to see eye to eye.
SINGAPORE will revise its growth figures again ahead of Thursday's Budget announcement, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday.
This second revision within a month is prompted by unexpected developments, he said, citing the steep fall in Singapore's December trade figures which show the economy of its major trading partners has taken a turn for the worse.
