How US polls impact on S'pore
'SINGAPORE is a trading economy and the President of the United States will make a lot of decisions about how trade works in the world.'Singapore has a free trade agreement with the United States and this gives it a better position with regard to the economy because it creates jobs here.
'There is a very immediate way in which it impacts Singaporeans. Job creation puts money into our pockets.
'Politics may well be a local affair, but American politics has affected us for a long time. Singapore, as a country highly involved in trade, should understand how the politics of major world economic powers work.'
