Remaking the Singapore Economy

07 November

Raffles Hall was honoured to have Singapore Economic Development Board Chairman and Raffles Hall alumnus Dr Beh Swan Gin (Medicine ’91) accept the invitation of the Hall Master Associate Professor Ho Chee Kong to speak at the inaugural Raffles Hall Master Conversations at the University Hall on 7 November 2017. His highly-informative and enlightening talk on ‘Remaking the Singapore Economy’ touched on how the Singapore economy could be transformed into one that can be resilient despite challenges of artificial intelligence and global trends. Raffles Hall residents participated enthusiastically in the Q & A session, posing interesting questions not only on the topic but also about Dr Beh’s time in Raffles Hall.
