‘Time to take a proactive approach to business continuity’ Given nature of security threats today, ‘fundamental shift’ in outlook needed: Jayakumar IMELDA SAAD imelda@mediacorp.com.sg SINGAPORE Yesterday, Coordinating Minister for National Security S Jayakumar told a gathering of about 700 business leaders that a “fundamental shift” in outlook is needed and they “cannot simply carry on with ‘business-as-usual’”, given the nature of security threats today.
Acts of terror can come not only from a few extremists wearing suicide vests but from a few key strokes on the computer — a ‘weapon of mass disruption’. Coordinating Minister for National Security and Senior Minister S Jayakumar

TEMASEK in $272 million LandBanking venture in MEXICO MEXICO CITY The joint venture, which will be formally launched in the third quarter of this year, will evaluate opportunities arising from the demand for affordable planned housing as Mexico’s middle-income population grows, Temasek said in a statement late yesterday. Based in the central Mexican state of Queretaro, IMDI is a leading developer of land in the country. Temasek did not say what its share of the venture would be and how much it would contribute. Mr Lorenzo Gonzalez Bosco, Temasek’s Managing Director, Investments, Mexico, said: “Mexico’s transforming economy provides opportunities for Temasek to expand its investments in sectors such as real estate. The rising middle-income population also provides a foundation for Mexico’s long-term growth.” Mr Benito Bucay, board member of IMDI, said the company shared similar investment principles with Temasek and looked to develop long-term business relationships. Temasek holds a diversified $186 billion portfolio as at March 31 this year, concentrated principally in Singapore, Asia and the emerging economies. About 11 per cent of its holdings are in real estate, life sciences and consumer products. — Singapore investment company Temasek Holdings has reached an agreement with Mexico’s Impulsora Mexicana de Desarrollos Inmobiliarios (IMDI) to set up a US$200 million ($272 million) joint venture to pursue landbanking opportunities in the North American country. |

SPUR to give way to more ‘targeted’ measures SINGAPORE The skills training scheme that was rolled out as a buffer against the economic downturn is making way for more “targeted measures” in line with the economic restructuring and productivity drive ahead, Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong said. Details of some of these measures were announced yesterday as the Government’s $2.5-billion, five-year Continuing Education and Training (CET) plans now begin to take shape. A “major priority” will be to make professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) a key focal group of the CET strategy. Mr Gan said: “Historically, our CET investment has focused on rank-and-file workers. Today, PMETs make up slightly more than half of the workforce, and the proportion is increasing. They’re often the key drivers of value creation in enterprises, but they’re also at risk of having their skills becoming obsolete.” And so there will be more CET offerings for PMETs once SPUR ends, with 300 courses now available for them under the existing programme. The new funding rates and absentee payroll support for employers will be scaled down, though, from Dec 1. PMETs will have 50 per cent of their course fees funded and capped at $15 an hour, down from 90 per cent and a maximum of $30 an hour for Spur-approved courses. Courses for rank-and-file workers will be subsidised up to 80 per cent, from 90 per cent now. The absentee payroll component will be capped at $4.50 an hour, down from a maximum of $10 an hour. “The revised funding rates continue to provide generous subsidies so that both employers and workers can tap on training to upskill and upgrade for the future,” Mr Gan said. The Minister, who was at a precision engineering Workforce Skills Qualification diploma graduation ceremony at Singapore Polytechnic, added that CET efforts will focus on such “outcome-based certifiable training programmes”, which means universities and polytechnics here will play a key role. For now, the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) is introducing the new Productivity Initiatives in Services and Manufacturing to help companies in both manufacturing and services. Mr Gan said the aim of these classes and seminars is to help 1,000 managers and supervisors pick up useful tools and know-how to drive productivity efforts within their companies. Some of these can be customised to suit different industries, such as aerospace, generic manufacturing, retail and electronics. This programme for PMETs will cost $3 million over two years. As for rank-and-file workers, especially the more vulnerable low-wage and low-skilled workers, efforts to upgrade their skills will continue, assured Mr Gan. There will be no change to course funding under the $190-million Workfare Training Support Scheme, which was launched four weeks ago. About 400,000 workers are expected to be eligible for the scheme. In comparison, about 251,000 workers had completed or were undergoing SPUR training between December 2008 and last month. So far, 64,000 job seekers have found jobs under SPUR. Mr Gan summed up the “significant impact” of the programme with these numbers: Seven in 10 individuals who found jobs after Spur courses felt that the training had been useful. Six in 10 companies said their workers’ productivity had improved after they attended the training.
