Govt to fund leadership development programme for next-gen Chinese community leaders, Singapore News
A leadership development programme designed to train the next generation of leaders for Chinese community groups, including clan associations, will receive funding support from the government. This follows Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's announcement of a new training programme to "systematically nurture the next generation of community leaders". PM Wong made the announcement at the National Day Rally on Sunday (Aug 17). During his Mandarin speech, PM Wong paid tribute to the Chinese community for playing a "crucial role" — through their philanthropy, nurturing bilingual and bicultural talent for Singapore - in championing and fostering a strong Singaporean identity. Providing further details on the programme on Wednesday (Aug 20), National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat said that participants of the programme will be nominated by Chinese community groups and selected by the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA). The programme targets to develop about 100 active Chinese community leaders, in theirs 30s and 40s, over the next five years. Chee, who succeeded Law Minister Edwin Tong as the chairman of the Chinese Community Liaison Group (CCLG) in May, added that the programme will expose participants to strategic issues facing Singapore and help them to deepen their understanding the Singaporean Chinese identity and culture. The programme will include dialogues with political office holders, senior government officials and community leaders. 'This course is envisioned to be the pinnacle training programme for younger leaders in the Chinese community. "The Government will continue to support and work closely with our Chinese community leaders to meet the evolving needs of the community and contribute to the growth of Singapore's society,' said Chee. [[nid:718347]] Chee also shared his observation that many clan associations and Chinese community groups have been inducting new and younger members — both locally-born Singaporeans, new immigrants, and children of new immigrants. "But what is common, from what I see in my interactions, is the passion to serve the community and to give back to society," he said. Asked by AsiaOne about how the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry's (SCCCI) involvement can benefit businesses and the Chinese community, Chee said that SCCI's strong support will give the Chinese community important networks and resources to tap into, including young business leaders, who may be able to contribute to the growth and development of the Chinese community. The issue of leadership succession in the local Chinese community is not new. It was recently raised by SFCCA president Thomas Chua at a luncheon with community leaders when Chee made his introductory visit on June 13. Speaking to the media then, Chee said that leadership development and succession will be one of his key focus areas for CCLG and Chinese community organisations. The CCLG was set up in 2020 to deepen the government's relationship with Chinese community organisations and strengthen cooperation among the various Chinese community groups. The group comprises office holders and Members of Parliament (MPs) who regularly engage the Chinese community. Another priority, said Chee, is to help Chinese community organisations, especially clan associations, to modernise and transform their operations. In a SFCCA-SCCCI joint media statement on Wednesday, SFCCA president Thomas Chua emphasised the need for clan associations to prioritise the nurturing of young successors. He hoped that they will then go on to lead the Chinese community in fostering inter-racial exchanges and promoting mutual understanding, while assisting new immigrants to better integrate into Singapore society. SCCI president Kho Choon Kheng also expressed optimism that the programme will foster a 'deeper understanding of policies, the economy, society, culture and international affairs'. Chee also provided an update on the CCLG's work, nearly three months since he took the post. He said that he has been involving new MPs and office holders in CCLG's work. Together, they have been engaging clan associations, Chinese community groups — including cultural and religious groups. Stressing that this is an ongoing process, Chee said that the engagements and interactions will allow the government and these associations and groups to find 'more areas of common interest', so as to work together and support one another.

UK wealth tax would spur millionaire exits to US: survey
[LONDON] More than half of UK millionaires in a survey signalled they would be more likely to leave the country if the Labour government introduces a new wealth tax. About 60 per cent of the respondents also said that they thought they could have a better quality of life overseas, according to the survey by financial advisory firm Arton Capital. Nearly half of the questioned millionaire Labour voters indicated they'd be more inclined to exit if a new levy was brought in. The US topped the rankings among wealthy Britons for potential relocation, followed by Canada, Australia and the United Arab Emirates, according to Arton's survey, indicating a desire for lower-tax environments and English-speaking countries. The firm polled more than a thousand UK residents with a net worth of at least £1 million (S$1.7 million) between the end of July and early August. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves is struggling to fill an estimated £20 billion to £25 billion hole in the public finances, after Labour partially reversed spending cuts such as a reduction in winter fuel subsidies and a reform of disability benefits amid a backlash from its own members of parliament. While she's ruled out increasing income tax, VAT and national insurance, Reeves hasn't quashed talk of a possible wealth tax – prompting speculation that such a policy could come in her autumn budget. While a straight wealth tax is thought to be unlikely in some government circles, as it risks spooking those who have the money to invest in the UK, Reeves may consider raising taxes on wealth more broadly, such as capital gains and corporation tax. 'The UK is at a tipping point,' said Armand Arton, chief executive of Canada-based Arton Capital. 'There are many repercussions of the introduction of a levy, but one thing is clear: the longer that unpredictability persists, the greater the risk of losing capital, talent, and long-term investment to countries that offer greater security for individuals, families, and their futures.' To be sure, the survey captures only a snapshot of wealthy Britons. But it echoes data compiled by Bloomberg showing a big spike in departing business leaders over recent months. Still, 66 per cent of British millionaires view the United Kingdom as an attractive place to invest when compared to other countries, according to the survey. Some 82 per cent of millionaires surveyed said they would be interested in investing in a so-called golden visa or Citizenship by Investment programme abroad. The UK scrapped its own form of this programme in 2022 over worries it was being exploited, though ministers are thought to be considering a new plan for foreigners who invest significant sums.

Rock and roll, CDC vouchers for durians: Some light-hearted moments from PM Wong's NDR2025 speech, Singapore News
The National Day Rally (NDR) speech is mostly about policies, planning and the serious matters of governance. During the NDR speech on Sunday (Aug 17), Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had all of that, but he injected some light-hearted moments that had the audience in stitches. Here are some of those light-hearted moments: Durians over daily necessities During his Mandarin speech, PM Wong brought up the CDC and SG60 vouchers given to Singaporeans as part of relief measures amid cost-of-living pressures. He pointed out how durian sellers had quickly put up posters announcing that vouchers can be used to purchase their Musang King durians. "The media reported that a couple had in a single purchase, spent $800 worth of vouchers to buy durians," he said. "I know many people love durians. I like them too. However, after satisfying your durian cravings, please don't forget to save some vouchers for your daily essentials," he said, half in jest, much to the laughter from the audience. A small umbrella There's a forecast of rain in the near future and Singaporeans may need an umbrella to weather the storm. Addressing how Singaporeans will need to work together to share this 'umbrella', PM Wong recalled the 1980s hit Hokkien song Cit Ke Sio Ho Sua (For A Small Umbrella). The song, which tells the story of two people sharing an umbrella in the rain, had two people soaking wet with the path ahead barely visible. However, the duo continued to sing: "As the rain gets heavier, I will take care of you, and you will take care of me." "While there will be stormy weather on the road ahead, I firmly believe that we will look out for one another, weather the storms together and usher in a new era as one," PM Wong explained. "As long as we stay united and forge ahead, we will be able to write a new and more exciting chapter of the Singapore story," he enthused. Built on rock and roll On the topic of music, the Prime Minister highlighted how every generation worries about negative influences. Prior to his time, he said, bad influence was believed to come in the form of comic books and rock music. "Rock music was frowned upon — it was seen as a corrupting Western influence that promoted a decadent lifestyle," PM Wong said. "We cut back on broadcasting rock music on the radio, we banned jukeboxes. In the early 70s, we didn't allow rock band Led Zeppelin to perform here," he shared. Some members of the audience were shocked to hear this, with some, including Aljunied GRC People's Action Party candidate Daniel Liu, who was seen sporting a quizzical look. PM Wong added: "If you don't know Led Zeppelin, you're missing out on the good stuff." Eventually, the restrictions were relaxed, and PM Wong grew up with both comics and rock music, of which the latter was a key part of his upbringing. "We all turned out fine," he said. Trick question? Being Singapore's Prime Minister doesn't mean you have to be a math whiz. PM Wong spoke of the developments in artificial intelligence (AI), and how it used to be incapable of solving simple mathematical equations. Showing one such question on screen, PM Wong commented: "It's not a trick question, everyone can answer it." Many members of the audience laughed knowingly, some even shaking their heads at how simple the basic arithmetic question was. Instead of solving the question, AI would answer obliquely, giving a nonsensical response, he said. Recently, AI took part in the International Math Olympiad, earning a gold medal. Flashing one of the questions from the examination on the screen, PM Wong admitted: "It's so complex I can't even understand the question, but AI got it right! "I won't show you the answer, I don't think anyone even understands the question, let alone the answer!" The 'ulu' north He also took the opportunity to speak on the northern region of Singapore, which has been addressed less than other regions, he said. "Some people say that the northern part of Singapore is more ulu (remote)... I assure you, it's not," he asserted, promising to focus on the northern region in his speech. This elicited cheers and applause from members of the audience, with some — presumably from the northern parts of Singapore — expressing enthused approval at his statement. True to his word, PM Wong highlighted three areas in the north: Woodlands, Kranji and Sembawang. He shared goals for redeveloping Woodlands Checkpoint, building a new housing estate in Kranji and repurposing Sembawang shipyard among other plans. "Just as we transformed Punggol, these plans will take shape in the years ahead, and they will become reality," PM Wong said. He added: "That's how we make sure every part of Singapore shines — each with its own character, and a place we can all be proud to call home." khooyihang@
