新加坡中华总商会2010年常年报告书

响应提高生产力的号召

海外创业分享会

2010年,新加坡经济从2009年的衰退中强力反弹,各行 各业都重拾信心。尽管如此,我们仍然需要牢记,狮城岛国 是个小而开放的经济体,随时面临挑战,不骄傲自满才能继 续保持增长。

海外创业分享会系列活动,是早餐时段进行的小范围轻 松对话会,邀请资深企业家为中小企业管理者分享在海外创 业和发展的成功经验,今年成功举办了三场。包括:由主讲 嘉宾透析尼日利亚和南非的商机,由法律和会计专家介绍本 地企业在中国发展遇到的问题及解决方法,由企业家分析在 台湾经商的未来前景。

政府在2009年成立经济战略委员会,专门为新加坡的未 来制定长期的发展策略。经过慎重检讨,委员会在2月公布了 指导性原则。2010年的财政预算案,再次重申创新精神和提 高生产力的重要性。 总商会从一开始便直接参与了经济战略委员会的检讨过 程。我们坚定地支持政府的号召,全面提高劳工队伍的生产 力,通过创新增强国家的整体实力,将新加坡逐步打造成为 环球—亚洲枢纽。 为此,总商会作出积极反应,组织多场研讨会,推广经 济战略委员的目标。4月15日,与新加坡税务局和财政部联 合举办“生产力及创新优惠计划”座谈会,与标新局联合举 办“提高中小企业生产力计划”座谈会,以及贯穿全年的一 系列资讯科技研讨会,宣导如何善用资讯科技提高公司生产 力。5月初,我们组织了台湾商务考察团,走访高新技术开发 区,学习如何通过在技术和创新领域进行投资优化我国的劳 动队伍。

深入了解中小企业的需求 为了响应政府提高生产力的号召,减少对外籍劳工的依 赖,2010年6月到9月,总商会进行了专项调查,重点了解中 小企业关心的课题,如财政预算案各项措施的实施情况,政 府援助计划与津贴的成效,以及不同行业面临的困难。调查 共收到1051家公司的反馈,为总商会全面了解中小企业的需 求提供了有效渠道。调查结果显示,中小企业正在采取多种 措施,努力提高生产力;同时,企业也希望政府援助计划应 以行业需求为标准,取代以往“一刀切”的做法。目前,本 地中小企业面临的主要压力是不断上升的经营成本和日益激 烈的商业竞争。

把握中国经济迅速发展带来的商机 2010年,世界博览会在上海举行,参展的国家和国际机 构众多,创下历史记录。总商会组织了102人的大型商务考察 团飞赴上海参观盛会。同时,代表团也拜访了江苏省的张家 港市、金坛市和南京市,与当地的政府部门和商业团体建立 双边的合作关系,拓展长三角地区的商业机会和合作潜能。 鉴于会员反响热烈,总商会在10月再次组团赴上海,通 过盛大壮观且极富多元文化色彩的世博会,见证中国成为世 界第二大经济体的优势。除了参观著名的世博景点,代表团 也走访了上海当地的工业园区,出席商界联谊活动。

设立海外代表处 经过几个月的策划与筹备,2010年10月20日,总商会第 一个海外代表处在上海正式开幕。这也是及时响应我国经济 战略委员会建议,提升贸易协会,推动企业走向国际并取得 增长的能力。坐落在南京西路的上海代表处,将在当地扮演 重要角色,协助新加坡的中小企业进军中国,在中国的商业 环境下拓展业务。今后,上海代表处将成为总商会和中国间 的联系中心,跟进、实施、协调总商会到中国的商务考察和 文化活动,推进国际交流与合作。 总商会趁第二个代表团赴上海之机,举行了隆重的开幕 仪式,我国卫生部许文远部长担任代表处开幕式的主宾。

加强商团会员的实力

推广华文华语和中华文化

根据商团会员的需求,2010年,总商会作出特别安排, 协助商团会员提升管理实力。总商会管理学院首次推出“商 团管理证书文凭”,专为本地商团秘书处工作人员而设计, 以提高秘书处的专业服务水准。课程由十个单元组成,9月 正式开始,内容包括有效写作技巧、公关与媒体管理、品牌 与推广、项目管理、企业策略规划等等。首期课程以华语开 办,深受前来进修的商团秘书处工作人员的欢迎。管理学院 计划在明年推出以英语开办的同类课程。

总商会的宗旨之一是推广华文华语和中华文化。除了在 华人新年和中秋节举行传统节日庆祝活动,本年度我们也新 增添了两份中文系奖学金,为培养双语双文化的人才作出贡 献。特别值得一提的是,本会与教育部在6月专门举行午餐 会,邀请教育部黄永宏部长和总商会董事进行对话,就教育 部进行的华文教学方法改革交流意见。

与会员建立密切联系 为了能够与会员建立更加密切的联系,总商会不断积极 地组织小规模的内部联谊活动,听取行业领袖或政府部门官 员的讲解。这项常规性的活动,每个月最后一个星期五举 行,拉近了会员间的友情。 总商会的专题小组,青年企业家联系网和事业女性组, 也在本年度举行了具有里程碑意义的活动。1月22日,青年企 业家联系网举行五周年庆典,气氛热烈而又生动有趣。现场 不但推出了青企网的新网站,也同时举行以“企业你、我、 他”为主题的首届青企网论坛,由青企网和国家青年网络联 合主办。3月13日,事业女性组也举行了十五周年庆祝活动, 同时欢庆三八国际妇女节。

协助新移民融入本地社会 本年度,总商会委任陈精毅副会长领导移民联系组,并制 定了新的工作方向,多方采取有效措施加强本会与新移民的联 系。为此,移民联系组得到四个委员会的支持和参与,包括外 事、商团与会员事务、文化教育以及社会事务委员会。移民 联系组的工作目标是协助各地华人移民融入本地社会,同时利 用新移民的优势与资源,共同发掘商机,拓展海内外市场。总 商会属下的管理学院和企业发展与服务中心,为新移民举办了 实用性较强的系列活动,包括“社区和谐基本英语”、“我爱 新加坡-我的家园”课程,重点介绍本地的风土人情、社会结 构,以及政府相关政策和经济发展领域。

提供优质的文化与教育活动 2009年,孙中山南洋纪念馆管理权转交给国家文物局。 尽管如此,总商会在纪念馆相关事务方面依然扮演重要角 色。2010年8月中旬,孙中山南洋纪念馆暂时关闭以开展重新 发展计划,总商会为此提供了策略性的有效建议。除了参加在 马来西亚槟城举办的研讨会,我们也随考察团到访中国香港和 中山的孙中山纪念馆。重建后的纪念馆将在2011年10月8日重 新开幕,届时也将举行庆祝辛亥革命一百周年纪念活动。 总商会属下的专业教育培训机构-中华总商会管理学 院,在多个领域表现优异。本年度,学院成为首批通过新加 坡私立教育理事会审核的私立学校之一。总体学员人数以及 专为工作人士开办的新课程都有所增加,共有2874名学员成 功获颁商务华语课程、证书课程及专业文凭课程的证书与文 凭。过去一年,学院与新加坡国际企业发展局共同开办“国 际商业伙伴计划”高级管理课程,为本地企业家提供进修机 会,到中国的清华大学、上海交通大学、浙江大学、重庆大 学等中国高等学府学习,并组织学员到北京、天津、上海、 宁波、杭州、重庆及成都等地进行考察。

吸收杰出人才加入总商会 为了确保更多商界精英加入总商会的董事会,本会特别 设立了由8名董事会成员组成的“修改章程委员会”,着重检 讨有关董事会选举的章程条例,并作出适当的修改,确保今 后的董事会选举顺利进行,以便有利于本会的会务发展,引 进更多优秀人才加入董事会。 修改后的章程,删除了以往比较有争议的部分内容,减 少了董事会成员人数,设定董事年龄的上限为70岁,同时取 消专为七个方言群而设的第四阶段选举。

热烈欢迎中国国家副主席习近平 本年度,也是新中两国建交二十周年,中国国家副主席 习近平率代表团访问新加坡,进行为期三天的国事访问。11 月15日,总商会非常荣幸地与通商中国联合在瑞吉酒店举办 招待会,代表商界欢迎习近平副主席,并获得本地多家商团 机构的支持。这是本会在2010年的重大活动之一,也凸显了 总商会在促进新中两国经贸合作领域的重要作用。

期待第十一届世界华商大会的到来 回顾2010年,除了举办上述活动,总商会也花费了大量 的时间和人力,策划第十一届世界华商大会。大会将在2011 年10月5日至7日在新加坡隆重举行。我们组建了筹备委员 会,下设六个工作组分管不同的领域,定期举行会议,商 讨、更新筹备进展,制定重要决策。届时,大会将迎来3000 名海外嘉宾,与1000名本地代表一起出席第十一届世界华商 大会。大会日程包括:在环球影城举行的欢迎晚宴,在新达 新加坡国际会展中心举行的开幕式和专题论坛,以及同期举 办的主题展览,在圣淘沙名胜世界隆重举行的交接仪式和闭 幕式。 随后,具有深远意义的重大活动-辛亥革命100周年纪念 活动也将在10月8日举行,这将是总商会历史上另一个重大的 里程碑。

充分发挥团队精神 总商会的工作内容广泛,涉及不同的领域,开展每一项 工作,都需要严谨的规划和认真的执行。在此,我要真诚地 感谢全体董事会成员的大力支持,秘书处全体工作人员的辛 勤努力,因为大家的付出,各项活动,无论大小,都能顺利 开展,圆满成功。借此机会,我也要向所有支持总商会的策 略伙伴与合作机构、外交使节、政府部门、商团组织致以衷 心的感谢,感谢大家的鼎力支持,协助我们更好地为新加坡 商界服务。

President’s Review

Responding to the national productivity challenge

Understanding the SME mindset

2010 saw Singapore recovering strongly from the downturn of 2009, and reflected a return of confidence in practically all sectors of the economy. Nevertheless we remain mindful of the challenges that confront our small and open economy, and acutely aware that there is no room for complacency to sustain our growth.

In parallel with the government’s call to drive up productivity and wean the dependence on foreign workers, our Chamber took steps to conduct a definitive and targeted survey on SMEs during the June-September period. The survey addressed SMEs’ concerns on the usefulness and applicability of Budget 2010’s initiatives, grants and schemes and the reactions of different industry sectors. The survey solicited forthcoming feedback from 1,051 respondents and provided the Chamber with a sound understanding of sentiments shared by the SME business community. Amongst other findings, it showed that SMEs were making a concerted effort to raise productivity, that assistance schemes should be tailored to industry requirements instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, and that local enterprises were still strapped by rising operating costs and pressure from competitors.

The Economic Strategies Committee (ESC), formed in 2009 to develop long-term strategies for Singapore, finally published its recommendations in February after a protracted consultative process. Its emphasis on innovation-led and productivity-driven growth was reiterated strongly in the Singapore Budget. Having been involved in the consultative process right from the start, our Chamber rallied behind the call to raise productivity of the workforce and build capabilities through innovation, to grow Singapore into a leading global city in the heart of Asia. In this regard, the Chamber responded proactively by organising seminars on "Productivity and Innovation Credit" in partnership with IRAS and the Ministry of Finance on April 15, briefing sessions on "Productivity Initiatives for SMEs" with SPRING Singapore, and a whole host of practical hands-on infocomm seminars throughout the year on how to utilise infocomm solutions to ramp up productivity. In early May, we organised a focused "Innovation & Productivity Mission to Taiwan" to explore productivity and innovation capabilities in Taiwan's high-tech industry, and learn how to strengthen our local workforce through investing in technology and innovation.

Surviving and thriving abroad This breakfast series, conceived to provide an informal setting for a small group of SMEs to listen to the experiences of veteran entrepreneurs in their overseas ventures and engage in a candid exchange of ideas, continued to be successfully held in the year under review. The three sessions tapped on the wisdom and knowledge of invited speakers to open up insights on opportunities in Nigeria and South Africa, legal and accountancy hurdles encountered by local enterprises venturing into China, and prospects of doing business in Taiwan.

President’s Review Embracing opportunities in the ascendant China economy 2010 being the year when the World Expo was to be staged in Shanghai, our Chamber took this as a splendid occasion to bring a large 102-member business mission to visit this mammoth fair, which surpassed all previous records for having the largest number of participating countries and international organisations. At the same time, the mission itinerary included visits to Zhangjiagang, Jintan and Nanjing in Jiangsu province, to forge bilateral relationships with the Chinese government agencies and business associations, and identify business opportunities and potential areas for cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta belt. Owing to the overwhelming demand by members, a second business mission to Shanghai was organised in October to witness China’s ascendancy as the world’s second largest economy within the brilliant multi-cultural diversity of the World Expo in Shanghai. Apart from tours of key country pavilions, arrangements were made for delegates to participate in networking sessions with district authorities and industrial visits in the Shanghai environs.

Establishing an overseas presence Our Chamber culminated many months of deliberation and planning with the official opening of its Representative Office in Shanghai on October 20. This was also a timely and coordinated response to one of the Economic Strategies Committee’s recommendations, namely to empower trade organisations to drive growth and internationalisation. Located in Nanjing West Road, the Representative Office in Shanghai will perform a pivotal role by establishing a presence in China to help our local SMEs in their business ventures in China and help them operate in the China environment. Going forward, the Representative Office will act as the contact point between the Chamber and China by following up, implementing and coordinating the Chamber’s business missions to China, cultural activities and promoting international exchange and cooperation. The official opening ceremony of the Shanghai Representative Office was held in conjunction with the Chamber’s second business mission in October, and was officiated by Minister for Health Khaw Boon Wan.

Bolstering the capabilities of trade associations A special effort was made during the year to cater to the needs of our trade association members and bolster their capabilities. For the first time, a Certificate course in Trade Association Management was specifically designed to meet the needs of local trade and business associations and upgrade their professional standards of service. Conducted by Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business, the 10-module certificate course which made its debut in September covers relevant topics like effective writing skills, public relations and media management, branding and marketing, event management, and corporate and strategic planning, to name a few. The first certificate course, conducted in Mandarin, was very well received by the trainees from trade association secretariats. Plans are underway to conduct the same course in English early next year.

Building rapport with members In a move to establish greater rapport with members, the Chamber redoubled its efforts to hold small-group networking sessions and presentations by industry leaders or officials from government agencies. These were held on a regular basis on the last Friday of every month and built up great camaraderie among members. The Chamber’s special interest groups, namely the Young Entrepreneurs Network (YEN) and the Career Women’s Group (CWG), also held milestone events during the year. The Chamber celebrated the 5th anniversary of YEN on January 22. It was a high-octane and interactive event which saw the relaunch of the YEN website and held the first SCCCIYN forum on “Exploring Entrepreneurship” organised by YEN and National Youth Network. March 13 marked the 15th Anniversary of the CWG, and was celebrated in conjunction with the International Women’s Day.

Facilitating the integration of new immigrants The Immigrants Liaison Group (ILG) led by Vice-President Tan Cheng Gay was given a new mandate during the year to adopt a more targeted and coordinated approach towards strengthening the Chamber’s relationship with new immigrants. Hence the ILG was given the support and involvement of four committees within the Chamber – External Relations, Trade Association & Membership Affairs, Culture & Education, and Community Affairs. The ILG aims at helping Chinese immigrants integrate into society and harness the strengths and resources of new immigrants for collaborative business opportunities. Among the series of useful activities rolled out by the Chamber’s subsidiaries and committees were courses on “Beginner’s English for Community Harmony”, and “I Love Singapore – My Homeplace”, which focused on the understanding of local customs, social framework and Singapore’s political and economic landscape.

Providing quality programmes in culture and education Although the management and development of Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall was handed over to the National Heritage Board in 2009, the Chamber continued to maintain a key role in all matters relating to the Memorial Hall. During the year under review, we provided strategic feedback and advice in the redevelopment of the Memorial Hall leading to its temporary closure in mid-October for redevelopment works. We also participated in conferences in Penang, and joined study missions to visit Sun Yat Sen Memorial Halls and museums in Hong Kong and Zhongshan. This heritage institution will be re-opened on October 8 next year to coincide with the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 Chinese Revolution. During the year, our training subsidiary, the Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business, excelled in many areas of its operations. In 2010, it became one of the few private education institutions in Singapore to be successfully registered with the Council for Private Education. Growth was registered in the student population as well as in the number of courses offered to working adults, with more than 2,874 students successfully completing their Business Mandarin classes, certificate and diploma courses within the year. Even more opportunities were provided in the year

President’s Review under review for participation in the International Business Fellowship Executive Programme organised in conjunction with IE Singapore. This enabled local entrepreneurs to study at reputable universities in China like Tsinghua, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Zhejiang and Chongqing and the opportunity of site visits to major cities and municipalities like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu.

Supporting Chinese language and culture An integral part of the Chamber’s mission is in promoting the appreciation of Chinese language and culture. Besides the traditional Chinese festivals like the Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival which were celebrated in grand style in our auditorium, during the year we also awarded an additional two Chinese Studies Scholarships as part of the Chamber’s efforts to groom bilingual and bi-cultural talent. In particular, our concerns regarding the proposed changes in the teaching of the Chinese language were surfaced to the Education Ministry during a luncheon in June, during which we invited Education Minister Ng Eng Hen to interact with the Chamber’s council members and to share ideas on the teaching of the Chinese language.

Attracting talent into the Chamber’s ranks To ensure the progressive development of the Council, the Chamber embarked on a review of its existing rules in the year under review, with the help of an 8-member Review Committee. The Committee focused on reviewing the election constitution to facilitate the smooth flow of future elections, contribute to the development of the Council and attract more outstanding talent who can stand for the Council elections. Among the amendments to the Chamber’s rules which were mooted, passed and finally came into effect were a reduction of the number of members in the Council, setting an age limit of 70 for Council members, and doing away with the fourth stage of election originally intended for seven founding community groups.

Welcoming China’s Vice-President Xi Jinping In the year under review, Singapore commemorated the 20th anniversary of Singapore’s diplomatic ties with China, and welcomed China’s Vice-President Xi Jinping and his delegation on a 3-day visit to Singapore. Our Chamber, together with co-host Business China, and the support of other leading local business organisations, hosted a luncheon in his honour on November 15 at St Regis. This was a major event in the Chamber’s calendar for the year, and underscored the Chamber’s strategic role in helping to bring Sino-Singapore relations to an even deeper level.

Looking ahead to the 11th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention Throughout the year, over and above our other programmes, the Chamber expended much of its manpower resources into the planning for the 11th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) which would take place on October 5-7 2011. The main Organising Committee, being supported by six different sub-committees looking after various functional areas, has held regular meetings for review, updates and

decision-making on important facets of the Convention organisation. We are planning to welcome 3,000 overseas delegates and 1,000 representatives from the local business community to participate in the 11th WCEC. The special programme will include a welcome reception at Universal Studios, official opening ceremony and panel discussions at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the Handover Ceremony and Gala Dinner at Resorts World Sentosa. Another meaningful event held back to back with the 11th WCEC will be the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 Chinese Revolution on October 8 next year. Our involvement in the organisation of this anniversary event would chart yet another significant milestone in the history of our Chamber.

Affirming the importance of teamwork The Chamber’s work is wide-ranging and diverse, with detailed organisation and planning going into every aspect of its operations. In this respect I wish to express my deepest appreciation for the utmost support of the Council and the tireless work put in by the Secretariat to ensure the smooth delivery of each and every programme, however big or small. I also take this opportunity to thank all our counterpart business Chambers and organisations, foreign missions, government agencies and valued business partners, for their continued support and cooperation in helping us fulfil our mission to serve the business community in Singapore. President Teo Siong Seng

特别议决案 4.修改本会章程动议 修改本会章程的动议已随同第55届董事会第一次常年会员大会通知书于2010年4月30日分发给全体会员。 大会主席张松声向大会汇报,本届董事会为配合今后会务的发展,特别设立修改章程委员会,以便对本会章程进行全面检 讨,并提出适当的修改动议。他接着请负责本会财务和企业监管的蔡其生副会长向大会解说此次修改本会章程动议的内容。 蔡其生首先向大会介绍修改章程委员会其他委员。他们是张松声、李国基、蔡其生、萧作鸣、蔡成宗、林明仁、曽福庆和郭 素雯。他接着指出,委员会着重检讨有关董事会选举的章程条规,并作出适当的修改。这是要确保今后董事会选举过程能够 顺利举行,并有利于本会的会务发展,以及引进更多优秀企业人才加入董事会。委员会先后共召开五次会议,就董事与会员 不同意见,经过热烈与积极的讨论后,顺利拟出所需修改的章程条规。委员会所提出的修改章程动议已获得董事会议一致通 过。修改本会章程动议的主要内容如下: 第三章:会员 对准商号会员的资格加以修改,以便让董事会能够更有伸缩性的职权,招收其他法定机构或非法定机构的组织,加入本会为 准商号会员。 引进新一类准会员,即准商团会员,让非新加坡公民作为代表在新加坡注册的商团也可以加入本会。 修改学生会员的入会年龄和资格,由现在的16至21岁改为16至25岁,并规定学生会员必须是在籍全读学生。 第七章:组织 把董事会成员人数由现在的66位减至56位,组成更为精简高效的团队。 为配合董事会成员数目的更改,把商号、个人董事和商团董事代表人数相应修改。商号、个人董事由现有的45位减至38 位,商团代表由现有的20位减至17位。 对“正会长”的称呼改为“会长”。 让不再是本会会员或会员代表的现任董事在失去董事资格前有60天的期限寻找新的本会会员,作为其代表,以保留其董事职位。

第八章:职权 对“正会长”的称呼改为“会长”。 第十章:选举 随着第七章(组织)人数的更改,修改了董事会成员的数目。由原有的65位减少至55位。再加上前任会长,董事会成员总数是56位。 修改选举委员会的人数。由原有的9位减至5至7位。 删除第四阶段族群代表选举,并列出第一至三阶段董事代表人数。 第一阶段 增加3位商号及个人董事代表人数。在现任的董事互选中,商号及个人董事代表将从12位增加至15位。商团董事代表则不变, 维持3位。故在此阶段被互选出来的董事人数,将从15位增加至18位。 第二阶段 减少代表商团的董事人数,从17位减至14位。 第三阶段 减少商号及个人董事代表人数,从26位减至23位。 规定董事服务年龄限制在70岁或以下,引进新血,自我更新。由于担任前任会长的人选是由新董事会委任的刚卸任会长,故此 职位不受此年龄限制。 投票表决 大会主席张松声感谢蔡其生副会长的解说。接着,他请全体会员对修改本会章程的动议提出看法和意见。 郭松安(广创行私人有限公司代表)针对本会修改章程的动议提出反对意见,并当场宣读他事先分发给在场会员的信件。他过后 要求将他的申明记录在案。有关他于2010年5月18日书写并分发给在场会员的信件列于附件。 其他会员则对本会修改章程的动议并无异议。 大会主席接着向全体会员提议以举手方式对本会修改章程的特别议决案进行表决。出席大会总共有97个会员的代表。参与表决 者当中有90家会员支持此特别议决案。反对此项议决案的会员只有2家。因获得超过三分之二出席大会会员的明确支持,大会主 席张松声宣布本会修改章程的特别议决案正式通过。 主席感谢与会者的支持,并指示秘书处把修改后又获得大会通过的本会章程呈交社团注册局批准。 会议在向主席致谢后于下午6时15分结束。

Special Resolution 4. To approve the proposed Amendments to Rules of Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI Rules) The proposed amendments to the SCCCI Rules were sent to all members together with the notice of the AGM on April 30 2010. Chairman Teo Siong Seng reported that a Review Committee was formed by the Council to conduct a thorough review of the SCCCI Rules and recommend amendments where necessary to facilitate the progressive development of the Council. He invited Mr Thomas Chua Kee Seng, SCCCI Vice-President responsible for Finance and Corporate Governance, to present the proposed amendments. Mr Chua first introduced the members of the Review Committee. They were Teo Siong Seng, Patrick Lee, Thomas Chua, Seow Choke Meng, Chua Seng Chong, Stephen Lim, Chan Hock Keng and Quek Soo Boon. He added that the Review Committee had reviewed the existing election rules for council members, and thereafter made appropriate amendments to ensure that the Council elections would be conducted smoothly in future. This would contribute to the development of the Chamber, and attract more outstanding talent who can stand for the Council elections. A total of five meetings were conducted by the Review Committee. After much deliberation on the various views raised by SCCCI members, the Committee proposed the necessary amendments to the existing rules. The proposed amendments were duly approved by the Council. The major amendments are outlined below: Chapter 3: Membership To amend the criteria for an Associate Corporate Member. This is to give the council greater flexibility to allow corporate or unincorporated entities to be Associate Corporate Members. To add an additional class of Associate Trade Association Members. This is to allow a registered trade association whose registered representative is non-Singaporean to be an Associate Trade Association Member. To amend the age requirement of Student Members between the original 16-21 age range to between 16 and 25, and to state clearly that only full-time students are eligible to be SCCCI Student Members. Chapter 7: Organisation To reduce the number of Council Members from 66 to 56 for the formation of a more nimble and highly effective team.

左起:新加坡驻中国大使陈燮荣、 卫生部长许文远、张松声会长、贸 工部兼人力部政务部长李奕贤启动 总商会首个海外代表处。

企业发展与服务中心上海代表处 为了维系和中国长期以来建立的友好关系,以及进一步 加强总商会与中国省市政府和工商界的联系,本会于10月20 日在上海建立首个海外代表处,作为会员商家在中国的交流 站,并以总商会企业发展与服务中心私人有限公司为主体。 本会上海代表处新加坡企业发展与服务中心得到政府的 大力支持,并在我国卫生部长许文远和200名嘉宾的见证下启 动。

此代表处将扮演三项重要角色:

· 联系中心 代表处可以扮演总商会与中国之间联系中心的角色,跟 进、落实、协调总商会在中国各地进行的商业考察,文教活 动,推动国际交流与合作。同时,招收中国公司、新加坡在 华企业等成为会员,不断扩大总商会的联系网络。

· 服务中心 更好地为总商会属下136个商团会员、4000家商号会员 提供优质服务,包括商务咨询、信息传达、业务对接、牵线 搭桥的双向服务。目前,总商会许多商团会员暂时还没有实 力设立海外代表处,但是,商团会员属下公司高达三万多 家,大部分是中小企业。总商会的海外代表处,也就是这些 中小企业的海外代表处。

· 培训中心 定期举办讲座、联谊会等交流活动,增进中国企业家、 专业人士对新加坡的了解,协助他们解决到新加坡投资、定 居、就业、子女教育等方面的实际问题,加快融入本地社会 进程。同时,协助总商会管理学院拓展中国业务,吸引更多 企业家和官员培训团到新加坡培训,并安排新加坡商务人员 到中国浸濡,参加培训交流活动。

其他 国庆晚宴 本会于8月8日假莱佛士城会议中心宴开50席,欢庆我国 独立45周年,人力部长颜金勇、各国外交使节、国会议员、 政府部门及法定机构要员、工商界领袖和文教界代表出席了晚 宴。 现场转播李显龙总理的国庆献词,李总理指出,经济回 弹为国人制造了许多新的工作职位,而失业率也已经很低, 全体人民可以分享经济增长的成果,受惠政府的多项改善计 划,包括建造美观实用的组屋;素质更高的学校和医院;更 多的地铁线以及新的休闲场所。 他呼吁国人在面对经济危机时紧密团结,使我们能在全球 经济复苏中充分获益。新加坡的人才及人力资源有限,因此必 须引进外来人才和劳工,以增强国家团队的实力。不过,政府 将只引进对新加坡有贡献的人,并且会加倍努力使他们融入我 们的社会。同时,也确保新加坡公民享有优先待遇。 张松声会长在致词时表示,随着经济复苏,以及两座综 合娱乐城相继开业,本地服务业人力短缺问题日益严重。 不过,引进外来员工只能暂时缓解劳工短缺的局面,从更长 远的角度来看,改造经济,提高生产力局,减少对人力的过 度依赖,不断创新,从结构上改变传统经营模式,才能驱动 本地企业走更长远的路。实际上,许多商家已经纷纷采取措 施,探索提高生产力的有效方法。本会经已分别与人力部、 企发局、标新局等七家政府机构,以及多家科技公司合作, 为会员商家举办各种活动,支持会员商家提高生产力。 在推动经济发展的同时,本会也关注社会和谐与稳定, 并积极协助新移民融入本地社会。

SCCCI ANNUAL REPORT 2010

研究 经济战略委员会报告书 2月3日,经济战略委员会(委员会)提呈报告书,为我国经 济的可持续发展提出多项建议。本会当天即刻发布新闻公告。 委员会提出多项战略,为我国经济的可持续增长定下明 确的发展目标,致力将新加坡发展成亚洲顶尖的环球都会, 本会对此表示热烈欢迎。最让我们感到鼓舞的是,在委员会 提出的多项建议中,皆广泛认同中小企业在我国企业生态系 统中所作出的贡献;委员会也认可商业团体、商会在协助政 府,以及应付各行各业的需求方面所扮演的重要角色。 2009年10月22日,本会应政府的邀请,向委员会提呈 建议书,强调中小企业面临的挑战与期望,以及列出多项建 议,协助我国成为亲商的环球都市。在本会提呈的八大建议 中,部分已被委员会所采纳,我们对此表示欣慰与由衷感 激。

· 赋予商业团体更大权利,推动行业发展与国际化 本会庞大的会员网络涵盖35000家本地企业,以及来自各 工商业领域的133家商团。这些商团与各自领域的中小企业关 系密切,但部分商团的秘书处职员却因专业技能不足,而无 法有效服务会员商家。有鉴于此,本会提呈相关方案,期望 政府提供津贴,协助秘书处职员通过培训提升技能,促进商 团提升实力。 此外,本会有意在中国主要城市设立代表处,作为本地 中小企业进军海外的联络站。同时加强新中双边联系。若我 国政府能提供资金与支持,必能让本会更好地发挥“中国 通”优势,在推动企业国际化方面取得成功。

· 提高土地使用效率,以供未来发展用途 委员会在报告书中建议政府促成商业地点多元化,以便 有效支持整个价值链中的各项活动,满足跨国公司与中型企 业的不同需求。在本会提呈的建议中,探讨了我国传统行业 因土地资源有限,导致行业发展受到局限这个课题。 本会呼吁政府继续营造亲商环境,并提供足够的土地与 资金,发展本地企业,以及为本地个传统行业设立商业中 心,促成本地业者成为这行业的区域领头羊。

· 通过技能提升与创新精神,推动经济取得可持续增长 本会认为,在环球竞争日益白热化的前提下,提高各个 领域的生产力,对我国经济的发展是至关重要的。委员会在 报告书中也明确指出,我国必须摆脱对外籍员工的过分依 赖,并致力通过技能提升与创新精神,提高本地员工的生产 力。 本会促请政府在通过调高外籍劳工税,推动本地企业提高 生产力时,应采取审慎态度。对于特定领域的中小企业而言, 他们必须完成订单、履行相关法律义务,企业才能继续生存。

29

除了推出各项计划,鼓励员工参与培训,提升企业生产 力,政府也必须考虑到企业当前面临的各项难题,以及聆听 企业发出的呼救:业者必须争取更多的海外订单,并拥有足 够的劳工供应,才有望使特定行业从经济衰退中取得持续复 苏。 本会愿意与属下133家商团会员,以及各政府部门继续保 持紧密合作关系,共同化解企业当前面临的挑战,并致力结 合行业的力量与资源,发挥创新精神,通过培训提升技能、 提高生产力,共同落实委员会所提出的各项长期政策与战 略。

2010年度财政预算案 2月22日,政府推出财政预算案,以“提高生产力、创新 能力,加强竞争力”为核心,促进整体经济重组与转型,进 一步推动我国的经济增长。本会当天即刻发布新闻公告。 本会表示,这是一个目标鲜明的虎年预算案。老虎 (TIGER)代表的是通过培训、创新和增长来维持经济复苏 (Training, Innovation and Growth to Sustain the Economic Recovery)。政府在制定本年度财政预算案时,呼应经济战 略委员会报告书中的重点建议,因此预算案中的多项计划都 以生产力为轴心。 在预算案公布前,本会提呈了《财政预算案期望列表》予 财政部参考,列出了许多可协助我国达成长远目标的实质建 议。本会支持通过培训、技能再培训,提升员工的水平,因为 人力资源是我国在竞争剧烈的环球市场中脱颖而出的关键。 此外,本会也恳请政府为企业,特别是中小企业,提供税 务优惠,以扣除高昂的培训成本。 本会对政府成立生产力和持续教育委员会、全国生产力 基金的举措表示欢迎,这将支持劳动队伍提高生产力、加强 技能培训的努力。本会建议,委员会中应有来自各行各业的 中小企业代表。同时,本会希望政府能对症下药,推出相应 的措施及援助配套,让符合条件的中小企业从中受惠。 服务业应该不断推陈出新,将生活时尚理念注入产品与 服务中。本会也在《期望列表》中建议政府推出津贴措施, 鼓励中小企业提供创新和增值的零售、酒店和餐饮服务,实 现我国成为亚洲领先创新设计与创意企业中心的愿景。 为此,本会对政府推出“生产力与创新优惠计划”表示 欢迎。该计划为研发投资、申请知识产权、购买知识产权、 设计产品、运用科技或软件达成自动化、以及培训员工等提 供显著的税务回扣。与现有措施相比,新计划提出许多重大 改进;本会盼望政府能够提供详尽资料,让中小企业了解相 关的申请程序,以及商家如何从计划中受惠。 尽管《期望列表》中的愿望未能全部实现,本会对政府 推出多项措施,培育更多具环球竞争力企业的举措表示欣 慰。其中一项是促进跨国企业、中小企业之间合作的“提升 企业能力合作计划”,旨在提升本地企业进军海外的能力。 本会支持政府拨款予商团、商会(如中华总商会)提升 能力,并授权商团、商会与政府紧密合作,致力提升特定领 域中本地企业的的整体实力与生产力。

张松声会长针对

华文教学发表看法

3 月 9 日,张松声会长在国会拨款委员会辩论教育部的 开支预算时,针对华文教学的课题发表看法,获得社会各界 的热烈反响。 《华商》特刊登全文,以飨读者。 今天,我想根据我国学生的华文

大家都是双语教育制度的受益者。这

会员,几千家公司会员也面临同样困

水准问题,提出意见和建议。第一,

样的成绩,要归功于政府,归功于华

境。许多年轻人,华文成绩不错,甚

学校目前培养的学生,华语水准不能

文老师。我常跑中国,能够和当地人

至考到A1,但在实际应用中,却力不

满足企业界的需求;第二,在顺应大

打交道,也是因为当初接受了双语教

从心,错字连篇,词不达意。真正的

环境的趋势下,华文教学水准不能降

育。作为新加坡人,我为此感到骄傲

双语人才可说是凤毛麟角。

低。

和自豪。

过去几年,来总商会上华文课

过去十年,华族学生的考试成绩

成绩固然可喜,但是隐患依旧很

的人越来越多,虽然是好现象,但这

一年比一年高,包括华语在内,小学

多。随着中国经济的迅速发展,世界

也令人担忧。是不是学校的华文教学

毕业及格率达到百分之九十九,中学

华商的影响力不断增强,社会各界对

标准定的太低,毕业后才需要恶补华

毕业及格率也在百分之八十五以上。

华语人才的要求也越来越高。在这种

语?因此,我恳请教育部与企业界密

考试及格,代表华语的听、说、写和

情况下,学生毕业后能否真正胜任工

切沟通,探讨如何提高华文教学水

阅读能力应该没问题。

作?

准,让学生真正掌握华语技能。

双语教育制度,为我国培养了许

以中华总商会为例,现在想找到

张松声会长每个月在国会上提出社会各界关心的热点课题,其发言 全文刊登在每一期《华商》的“国会里的企业心声”栏目。

本会也感激政府采纳经济策略委员会的建议,设立专门 金融机构,处理跨境贷款事宜,并评估最佳方案,协助中小 企业取得融资,推动企业拓展海外业务。 此外,政府将会适度、渐进地调高外籍劳工税,在鼓励 企业提升技能的同时,也给予他们时间进行调整,制订提高 生产力的措施。本会对此感到宽慰,并呼吁政府在上调外籍 劳工税时应采取谨慎态度,并密切关注政策对中小企业和我 国经济所产生的负面影响。本会希望,政府能考量特定行业 对外籍员工的需求,酌情处理行业面临的人力短缺问题。

2010/2011全国工资理事会指导原则 全国工资理事会于5月25日公布了2010/2011全国工资 理事会指导原则和建议,本会当天即向媒体反馈,认同理事 会的建议,呼吁企业根据员工表现,给予适度的加薪。本会 表示,随着就业市场不断紧缩,加薪可协助公司留住优秀员 工。业绩表现良好的公司,应借此调高可变动花红、灵活工 资奖励员工,感激雇员在去年经济危机时作出牺牲,接受减 薪或薪金冻结的安排。 在全球经济变幻莫测、金融体系错综复杂,以及商家面 对低成本业者剧烈竞争的前提下,本会认同理事会建议,呼 吁雇主把加薪数额并入每月可变动薪金部分,以维持我国经 济的竞争优势。这么一来,当金融风暴日后来袭时,企业能 更加灵活应对。 本会支持政府上调公积金雇主缴交率,这将有助于增加 国人的储蓄,以应付医疗与退休的需要。本会对政府采取逐 步调高缴交率的举措表示欢迎,因为一些中小型企业在目前 还没完全感受到经济回弹所带来的好处。理事会也建议,在 斟酌加薪时,应把上调的公积金雇主缴交率考虑在内,本会 对此表示认同。 本会将扮演积极角色,鼓励与协助中小企业提高生产 力。本会认同理事会的看法,劳资双方必须齐心合作,致力 提高生产力,并通过生产力奖励或花红分享成果。只有劳资 互信与合作,才能推动公司的成长,并取得成功。

本会也吁请公司运用全国生产力基金、生产力和持续教 育委员会提供的津贴、资源与机会,提高生产力、通过培训 提升员工技能,以应对环球市场中日益剧烈的竞争与挑战。 本会将与属下133家商团紧密合作,通过培训、学习计划,提 高各行各业的生产力。

收集商界反馈 张松声会长于2009年7月起担任国会官委议员,代表商界 在国会发表心声。国会每月复会,张会长都会提出商界关心的 热点课题,特别是在修订政策、法案时,提供可行性建议。 为确保及时、准确地反映商家的想法,本部门对多项课 题进行研究与调查,提供支持资料与数据,供张会长参考, 包括:2010年度财政预算案、母语教学课题、消费税修正法 案、全国生产力基金法案、慈善修正法案等。

调查 2010财政预算案公布前的意见调查与期望列表 2010年,经济前景逐渐明朗,但商界仍持谨慎态度。本 会在1月份展开“2010年度财政预算案公布前意见调查”, 了解商团、商号会员对2010年度财政预算案的期望,以及商 界对经济的展望。 本会于2月17日发表《财政预算案期望列表》,总结会员 商家反馈,呼吁政府制订一套财政收支平衡的预算案,通过 推出各项优惠措施、税务回扣,让更多的中小企业受惠。 本会期望政府能在“技能提升与应变计划”(SPUR)以 外,提供其他形式的税务津贴或补助,鼓励企业通过培训提 高员工的生产力,同时协助商家,尤其是规模较小的公司, 降低培训成本。 会员商家也希望政府能推出一系列减轻经商成本的措 施,包括:下调公司所得税至16.5%、提供租金回扣、降低 交通成本(如公路电子收费)等。


SCCCI ANNUAL REPORT 2010

本地报章广泛报道本会2010年 中小企业问卷调查的结果。

本会也吁请政府提供各项税务奖励,如:为年长员工的医 疗福利与保险提供税务优惠,以鼓励雇主聘请或重新雇用年长 员工;协助传统行业提升实力与转型;鼓励厂商购买机械,尤 其是新颖及采用创新科技的机械,以提高我国的工业产能。 商家希望,政府能考量特定行业对外籍员工的需求,酌 情处理行业面临的人力短缺问题。本会呼吁政府在考虑上调 外籍劳工税时,应采取谨慎态度,并给予本地企业一些时间 进行调整及通过培训,提高员工生产力。

2010年中小企业问卷调查 在政府全力努力推动的同时,本会更加关注企业对提高生 产力的认同程度,采取行动的方向是否与政府一致。为此,本 会研究出版部专门进行问卷调查,了解会员商家的动态和反 馈。 调查工作从5月下旬开始至9月初结束,接受调查的公司共 1051家。本部门负责调查的策划、执行与分析,本会企业发 展与服务中心予以积极协助。标新局是问卷调查的支持机构。

本次调查主要结果如下: 1. 中小企业致力提高生产力 调 查 显 示 , 超 过 90%的 企 业 采 取 至 少 一 样 的 措 施 , 积 极 提 高 生 产 力 ; 在 三 大 经 济 领 域 当 中 , 以 建 筑 业 最 为 积 极 (94.5%),其次为制造业(92.4%)、服务业(90.6%)。 2. 企业的努力需要获得政策支持 在 2010年 财 政 预 算 案 措 施 当 中 , 最 获 得 企 业 认 可 的 是 就 业 培 训 补 助 计 划 ( 55.5%) 、 商 会 / 商 团 能 力 提 升 计 划 (50%)、生产力与创新优惠计划/设立全国生产力基金 (48%)。上述三项都是最直接协助企业提高生产力、加强 竞争力的津贴计划。 3. 应根据各行业不同需求,制定企业援助计划 政府在制定政策时,应考虑不同行业、不同规模企业的特 征,包括:面临的挑战与需要的协助,不能采取“一刀切”

的做法。例如:最受欢迎的就业培训补助计划在服务业的认 同程度为60.7%,制造业为43.2%。 4. 不同规模企业对政策的认可程度不一 在同一个领域当中,受公司规模影响,企业对政策的反应也 不尽相同。例如:中型制造业者对生产力与创新优惠计划的 认可程度为48.7%,小型业者的仅有30.0%。 5. 企业面临经商成本、竞争加剧的压力 调查发现,各领域在盈利方面的增长皆落后于营业额与订单 数量,显示了企业的经商成本不断上涨,而且必须面对更加 严峻的竞争。

2011财政预算案公布前的意见调查与期望列表 2010年12月,本会展开“2011年度财政预算案公布前意 见调查”,了解商团、商号会员对2011年度财政预算案的期 望,以及商界对明年经济的展望。 数据显示,会员们对明年的经济前景表示乐观,2/3的商 家表示,对营业额取得增长有信心,超过半数(56.6%)预 料订单额能比今年更高,但只有40.6%的商家预计能够取得 更多利润。 同时,接受调查的商家期望政府能在2011年度财政预算 案中,推出有效协助企业降低商业成本的优惠措施,包括: 削减公司所得税(66.7%)、调低水电费、政府征收的其他 收费(63.8%)、消费税回扣/优惠(55.1%)、产业税回扣 (50.7%)、降低交通成本的措施(49.3%)以及调低外籍劳 工税(43.5%)。 商家也期盼政府能够推出更多亲商政策,包括:为中 小企业提供更多培训、技能提升津贴(53.6%)、设立中 小企业优惠计划,鼓励特定行业拓展海外市场,组成商业 联盟(52.2%)、协助中小企业开发完善的人事管理系统 ( 33.3%) 以 及 提 供 津 贴 , 鼓 励 企 业 从 事 环 保 / 绿 色 项 目 (30.4%)。

论坛/座谈会/说明会

济体的国内生产总值增长率普遍会大幅收缩。然而,到了 2010年除日本、中国和印度以外的亚洲经济体很可能会显著 复苏。今年亚洲股市的表现明显优于全球其他市场。

第八届商业展望论坛:对2010年的期盼(英语) 由本会与商业时报联合举办的“第八届商业展望论坛: 对 2010 年的期盼”,于1月8日在本会嘉庚堂举行。三名主讲 嘉宾在论坛上针对各领域的经济课题,为300名商家会员作分 析。

新加坡产业发展商公会总裁朱健堃博士在谈到新加坡房 地产展望时说,去年的房地产市场是个“牛”转乾坤、惊喜 参半的一年,他预测今年的房市虎虎生威,但不要过于龙腾 虎跃,波动太剧烈。

新加坡国立大学管理学院院长杨贤教授指出,尽管经济 已经停止骤跌,接下来仍将困难重重。他认为今后亚洲国家 需要加强制度建设、改进市场体系,以便从根本上解决问 题;他吁请我国公司应努力建立能力,并且培养人才,把握 亚洲增长带来的商机。他说,新加坡在危机后将能处于优 势,便是因为新加坡拥有优良的制度和市场体系,而且非常 了解亚洲的情况。他认为,新加坡的一大要务,是寻找与培 育人才,并帮助他们发展事业。

辉立证券董事经理骆云山表示,从1998年和2001年经济 衰退的历史经验来看,企业盈利跟随国民生产总值的走势而 下降,而海指也往往须要有实质的经济增长和企业盈利来推 动,才能持续上涨势头。他看好银行业和原产品股、房地产 投资信托、电信及其他包括新加坡交易所在内的概念股,对 于市场持续供过于求的海事股则并不看好。

Action Economics公司亚洲经济预测主管大卫·科恩对 世界经济的展望持谨慎和乐观看法,他表示,2010年世界经 济将取得增长,但是脚步将比以往缓慢。他在会上阐释了由 亚洲领导的环球经济复苏,也强调可能限制复苏的逆风。 瑞士银行(UBS)东南亚产品及服务咨询副主任及执行董事 郑汪清表示,亚洲的股票以其盈利预料增长具吸引力。他特别 看好环球科技股,认为科技股预料能从两类科技的置换周期 (消费者将旧手机和个人电脑更换新产品)获利。在新加坡,他 推荐选择具高股息的股票。 《商业时报》副编辑维克兰主持的讨论会上,与会者向 主讲嘉宾提出关于政经走势影响我国和本区域经济前景及商 家应注意的重要事项。

教育项目 母语教育课题 教育部长黄永宏于今年4月21日接受《联合早报》及《海 峡时报》专访时,提到教育部将探讨调整母语成绩在小六会 考总分的比重及教育部将实施“以学生为本”的教改。 本委员会于5月3日召开紧急会议,对课题进行讨论并拟具陈 述。

黄永宏部长再次强调教育部的政策是保底不封顶,让来 自不同家庭背景的一般的学生根据本身能力学习母语,也让 学习能力较强的学生有更多机会修读高级华文,成为双语人 才。 教育部将通过母语检讨委员会探讨母语教育的方针与策 略,并着重因材施教,以达到教育的目标与标准。他希望总商 会能够与教育部合作,推广母语,并提供有利于母语学习的环 境。

总商会基金奖学金 李显龙总理于同日发表文告,强调母语教育是我国教育 制度至关重要的特色,也确定政府将会坚定不移地逐步强化 和更新母语教学与其考试制度,委员会于是决定调整陈述基 调,并通过张松声会长于5月5日提交公函,向李总理表达本 会对课题的看法。 文教委员会许廷芳主席也在5月4日接受《联合早报》采 访,对同个课题发表看法。 3月9日国会复会,张会长以官委议员身份针对华文教学 发表了一则言论,指学校目前培养的学生华语水准不能满足 企业界的需求,会长也指出,在顺应大环境的趋势下,华文 教学水准不能降低,本会《华商》也全文刊登会长发言。 6月18日,教育部长黄永宏医生应张松声会长邀请,到本 会出席午餐会谈,听取本会董事提供有关华文教学课题的反 馈。陪同出席会议的教育部代表是提学司何品与课程规划与 发展司副司长余立信。 黄部长在出席午餐会时解释,教育部无意削减母语在小 六会考总分的比重,而且正在研究如何修订母语教学和母语 课程,以确保每一位学生都能根据其本身的能力,学好母 语。 午餐会上,张松声会长表示促进文化教育和社会发展, 是总商会的宗旨之一。张会长感谢总理和部长及时作出回 应,让大家更加清楚地了解政府的政策,明确未来的努力方 向。张会长也介绍,多年来,在推广华文华语方面,总商会 一直扮演着重要角色。

本会于4月30日举行的新加坡中华总商会基金奖学金计划 协议书签署仪式上,承诺在接下来三年内拨出21万元,继续颁 发商学奖奖给南大、国大、新大三所大学的优秀生,并将原本 给予南大及国大中文系的一份奖学金增加至2份,同时也增加 本会与马来回教社会发展理事会合作颁发给杰出马来回教徒大 学生的两份奖学金的金额,从原有的4000元增加到5000元。 张松声会长在致词时说,总商会虽然以服务商界为本, 但也不遗余力地推动本地文化与教育事业,为培育国家栋 梁、为弘扬中华文化、为培养双语双文化人才做出努力和贡 献。 总商会基金奖学金2010/2011年的得奖学生: 本委员会委员吴绍均董事代表本会选出的管理大学 优秀学生是:    

The Shanghai Representative Office aims to assist SCCCI members in their business ventures and help them integrate into a new business environment.

The Representative Office will provide excellent business information and advisory services to SCCCI’s 136 trade association members and 4,000 corporate members that are keen on entering and establishing their businesses, developing new business linkages and expanding their scope of services in China. Currently, the majority of these companies lack the resources to set up a permanent office in China, and the EDC@SCCCI Shanghai Representative Office can function as a de facto representative office on their behalf.

The EDC@SCCCI Shanghai Representative Office received strong support from the government. The launch of the office was witnessed by Minister for Health Khaw Boon Wan and over 200 guests. The key functions of the Shanghai Representative Office are:

Contact Point

The Representative Office will serve as a contact point for Chinabased enterprises and businesses from Singapore, support business-to-business matching and business missions, and attract Chinese enterprises and China-based Singapore enterprises to join SCCCI as members.

Service Hub

Training Centre

Seminars and networking sessions will be organised regularly to equip entrepreneurs and professionals from China with information about investing in Singapore, application for residency, career planning and school placements for children to expedite the social integration process. The SCCIOB (Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business) will be able to expand its operations and attract Chinese entrepreneurs and government officials to Singapore for business-oriented training programmes, and arrange for more immersion programmes and networking opportunities in China for Singapore entrepreneurs.

Chamber’s President Teo Siong Seng giving a speech at the National Day Dinner

Others 2010 National Day Dinner The Chamber organised a National Day Dinner on August 8 at the Raffles City Convention Centre to celebrate the nation’s 45th year of independence. The guest of honour for the dinner was Minister for Manpower Gan Kim Yong. Among the distinguished guests present were ambassadors, officials from various government departments and statutory boards; leaders from the business and arts communities also attended the celebration. In his National Day Message, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong pointed out that the economy has recovered strongly to create more job opportunities and lower the unemployment rate. Singaporeans can enjoy these fruits of growth and benefit from many government programmes including better designed HDB estates, higher quality schools and hospitals, expanded MRT network and more spaces for recreation. He also called on all Singaporeans to stay united in the event of an economic downturn so that we can fully benefit when the economy recovers. As Singapore faces competition for talent and a labour crunch, we have to rely on foreign manpower to sustain the economy. He stressed that the government will only bring in people who can contribute to the nation and integrate them into our society. He also promised that citizens will always come first.

In his speech, Chamber’s President Teo Siong Seng expressed concern that the improving economy and the successive opening of the two integrated resorts has resulted in an acute labour shortage in the service sector. However, he noted that bringing in more foreign workers was only a temporary measure to alleviate the labour shortage. From a long-term perspective, critical strategies which will enable businesses to power ahead include transforming the economy and increasing productivity, lessening the reliance on manpower, continuous innovation, and restructuring traditional business models. Mr Teo disclosed that many local enterprises were already implementing measures to raise productivity. For example, the Chamber had partnered seven government agencies, including the Ministry of Manpower, IE Singapore and SPRING Singapore, and many IT companies, to organise a wide spectrum of activities and support SCCCI members in the productivity drive. While SCCCI’s core mission is to promote Singapore’s economic development, Mr Teo said that the Chamber is aware of the importance of social harmony and stability. The Chamber is also actively involved in helping new immigrants integrate into Singapore society.

SCCCI ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Research & Publications Committee Research Economic Strategies Committee Report The Economic Strategies Committee (ESC) released its report on February 2 which was aimed at ensuring long-term growth for Singapore, spelling out broad strategies to raise innovation and productivity. The Chamber issued a press release on the same day. The Chamber was pleased that the Economic Strategies Committee (ESC) unveiled a well-calibrated approach to sustain Singapore’s economic growth in the long term, with a view to growing Singapore into a leading global city in the heart of Asia. In particular we were heartened that the recommendations by ESC recognised the valued contribution of SMEs within Singapore’s corporate eco-system, as well as the important role of trade associations and chambers in complementing the government’s efforts and in serving needs of the industry. On October 22 2009, the Chamber released a paper to the ESC, highlighting the challenges faced by SMEs and their expectations and suggestions to make Singapore a probusiness global city. The Chamber made eight recommendations to the ESC for consideration. We were thus gratified that some of our recommendations had been incorporated into the final ESC report in one way or another.

• Empower Trade Organisations to Drive Growth and Internationalisation (from ESC Sub-committee on Developing a Vibrant SME Landscape and Globally Competitive Local Enterprises) Under the SCCCI’s business networks, we serve some 35,000 companies and business entities in Singapore, including 133 Trade Associations from a diverse mix of industries and trades. These Trade Associations offered a direct link to SMEs in various industry clusters, but many lacked the professional expertise among its secretariat staff to serve its members effectively. One of our wish-lists was to seek government funding for the training of secretariat staff to serve as catalysts/prime movers for Trade Associations to upgrade their capability. In the area of internationalisation, our Chamber believed it would be very beneficial to set up overseas offices in key cities in China to support SMEs’ overseas ventures in China and to promote closer ties with both the public and private sectors there. Government support and funding would give us the headstart to build on our extensive networks in China and succeed in this new venture.

• Enhance Land Productivity to Secure Future Growth (from ESC Sub-committee on Maximising Value from Land as a Scarce Resource) The ESC report recommended that the government should provide the choice and diversity of business locations to support whole value chain activities and cater to the different needs of both MNCs and mid-sized companies. In this regard we referred to the SCCCI’s recommendations, which relate to the constraints faced by traditional industries in Singapore, especially in the critical resource of land. We had invested heavily and wisely in both physical and infocomm infrastructural development.

We should quickly build on this strength to develop new industry clusters or business hubs as vital components of a leading global city. We should also not ignore the integral role and function of the traditional industries. Traditional industries providing fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables, poultry and meat should be preserved as they played an important role in the lives of all Singaporeans, the majority of whom live in the heartlands. Just as promising and relevant were our tropical ornamental fish farming and orchid farming industries which had been leading exporters in the region for a long time. Their contribution to the economy should not be disregarded. It would be a great pity if they were replaced by our regional competitors simply because of lack of affordable land and funding for research and development in Singapore.

• The Key Challenge of Growing through Skills and Innovation The Chamber recognised the importance of enhancing productivity in every sector of our economy as it was vital in this era of intense global competition. The ESC report had also stated very clearly that Singapore needed to wean itself from an over-reliance on foreign workers, focusing instead on transforming our local workforce through skills and innovation. This would be a great challenge in the current labour situation where our SMEs were not able to find sufficient take-up from local workers for blue-collar jobs. As it was, foreign workers were not cheap labour to SMEs because of their high levies, accommodation and insurance costs. Any further increases in the foreign worker levy would add to our high business costs and curtail the labour supply which was critical to securing and meeting the overseas orders to sustain our economic recovery at this point of time. The Chamber therefore urged the government to adopt a careful and cautious approach in increasing the foreign worker levy as a strategy to compel local enterprises to raise productivity. There were overseas orders and legal obligations to be met by SMEs for their immediate survival in specific industries. Besides giving them different incentives to raise productivity and send their workers for training, it is important that the government takes into consideration their current difficulties and genuine call for help to secure more overseas orders and sufficient labour supply to sustain the economic recovery in specific industries. The Chamber concluded by saying it would continue to work with its 133 trade association members and the government agencies to resolve their immediate needs as well as to pool their efforts and resources together to promote innovation, training and productivity of different industries in line with the long-term policy and strategies recommended by the ESC.

2010 National Budget On February 22, Minister for Finance Tharman Shanmugaratnam unveiled Budget 2010 with the aim to raise productivity, spur innovation and strengthen competitiveness to transform the economy and boost economic growth. The government also committed S$5.5 billion over the next five years to raise productivity among workers and companies, and was in line with the recommendations of the Economic Strategies Committee (ESC) to embrace productivity as the sustenance for economic growth.

新加坡中华总商会2010年常年报告书

Research & Publications Committee This was reflected in the Chamber’s response to the Budget in a press statement on the same day titled “It’s a Targeted TIGER Budget (Training, Innovation and Growth to sustain the Economic Recovery)”. In anticipation of the released Budget statement, the Chamber had drawn up a wish-list that contributed to the long-term goals for Singapore. We supported the need for training and re-skilling to develop our human capital, which was the factor of production to differentiate Singapore against other competitive markets. High on the wish-list was for the government to provide tax incentives for companies, especially among the SMEs, to defray the heavy costs of training. Therefore the Chamber welcomed the move to establish a high-level Productivity and Continuing Education Council and the creation of a National Productivity Fund to support the productivity and training efforts for our workforce. We hoped that local SMEs would be represented in the Council, that the implementation of the relevant programmes would address the problems faced by the business community and that the allocation of funds would benefit the deserving SMEs. We pointed out that new lifestyle service concepts would be essential to revitalise the entire services sector, and suggested having incentives to encourage SMEs which could provide innovative and value-added services in retail, hospitality, and F&B. This could help to fulfil the vision of developing Singapore into New Asia’s hub for design innovation and creative enterprises. The Chamber was therefore pleased that the “Productivity and Innovation Credit” will be introduced to provide significant tax deductions for investments not only in Research & Development, but would cover activities like the registration of intellectual property, acquisition of intellectual property, design activities, automation through technology or software, and training of employees. This was definitely a major enhancement of the existing scheme, and the Chamber would obtain more details on how SMEs may qualify and benefit from it. While we were naturally disappointed that some of our wishes for the Budget went largely unfulfilled, we were gratified that the government had nevertheless introduced many new initiatives to grow globally competitive companies. One of these was the Partnerships for Capability Transformation, which would facilitate partnerships between MNCs and SMEs, and build up the capability of local enterprises for overseas projects. Another area which we were pleased with was the commitment of funds to strengthen the capability of trade organisations such as SCCCI, which empowered us to complement the government’s efforts in improving the overall competency and productivity of local enterprises in specific industries. The Chamber was gratified to note that the government had supported the ESC’s recommendation to establish a specialised institution for cross-border financing, and would be evaluating the best way to get this set up to help with SME financing and fuel SMEs’ expansion. At the same time, we noted with relief that the increase in the Foreign Worker Levy would be calibrated and carefully phased in so as to give companies a clear incentive to upgrade while providing them time to develop plans to re-gear and grow through productivity improvements.

We urged the government to exercise caution in the implementation of such increases and to monitor its adverse impact on our local SMEs and the economy closely. If necessary, the government should be more flexible and accommodating in addressing the manpower shortage in the specific industries and the need to keep the foreign workers in these industries.

NWC Wage Guidelines for 2010-2011 Following the release of the National Wages Council (NWC) wage guidelines and recommendations for 2010/2011 on May 25, our Chamber issued a press release on the same day. In view of the robust economic recovery, the Chamber supported the NWC recommendation that companies should grant sustainable wage increases to employees based on their performance. This was in the interest of the companies to retain their good workers in an increasingly tight labour market. Companies performing well should take the opportunity to reward their workers with variable bonuses and flexible wage increases in recognition of their sacrifice and resilience in accepting the wage cuts or freezes during the downturn last year. With economic cycles getting more unpredictable given the rise of low-cost competitors and intertwined financial systems, we agreed with the NWC’s call to build up the monthly variable component from wage increases to maintain the competitiveness of Singapore’s economy. This would enable companies to be more flexible and resilient in the event of future crises. The Chamber understood and supported the increase in employers’ CPF contribution rate as it would help Singaporeans save more for their medical and retirement needs. The phased approach was helpful, particularly for our SMEs who had yet to enjoy the full benefits of the economic rebound. We were heartened to note the NWC’s recommendation that the increased CPF contribution should form part of the overall wage negotiations. We also declared that the Chamber would play a proactive role to encourage and help SMEs to raise productivity in line with the NWC’s recommendations. We agreed with the NWC that companies should involve employees in the productivity process and share productivity gains in the form of productivity incentives or bonuses. It was only through this concerted effort and trust among workers that a company could truly progress. The Chamber also urged companies to tap on the incentives, resources and opportunities provided by the National Productivity and Continuing Education Council to promote productivity and train their workers to face up to the increasing competition and challenges in the international market. With this in mind, we would work closely with our 133 trade association members to provide more training and study programmes to improve productivity in various trades and industries.

SCCCI expresses concerns about the teaching of Chinese language

The Chamber called for more tax incentives to raise worker productivity through training, in addition to the SPUR programme, keeping in mind that SPUR funding would lapse after November. Although the training budget was a hefty expense for companies, it was understandably necessary in helping to enhance productivity in the long run. Thus any tax incentives or grants would be extremely beneficial in helping the smaller companies to train up their employees to work better and more efficiently.

By Fiona Hu At the Session on January 11, Chamber President Teo Siong Seng, in his capacity as Nominated Member of Parliament, raised three questions in Parliament. Mr Teo posed two questions to Minister for Education Ng Eng Hen regarding the PSLE Chinese language results and new methods for the teaching of Chinese language. 1) To ask the Minister for Education whether our students’ overall Chinese Language results in the last PSLE examination are satisfactory. 2) In view of the new Chinese Language teaching methods to cater for average students coming from non-Chinese speaking home environment, (a) what assurance or choice will his Ministry give to parents who

2010 Pre-Budget Survey and Wish-List Although the economy had picked up somewhat in 2010, the business sentiment was still quite cautious. The Chamber thus embarked on the “2010 Pre-Budget Survey and Wish List” in January to solicit our corporate and trade association members for their specific requests regarding Budget 2010, and their business outlook for the year.

want their children to perform well or do much better than average students in the Chinese Language studies and examinations and (b) how the Ministry would consider improving the environment for learning Chinese and highlight to the students the value of studying Chinese? Mr Teo posed a question to Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan on the issue of underground walkways in the City Hall MRT vicinity. To ask the Minister for National Development whether his Ministry will consider building sheltered and underground walkways linking the City Hall MRT station with the commercial and Government office buildings along North Bridge Road and High Street for the benefit of many office workers, shoppers and tourists.

The replies by Minister for Education Ng Eng Hen and Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan have been uploaded onto the Chamber’s website. Please refer to www.sccci.org.sg for the full transcripts.

Concerns on teaching of the Chinese language were surfaced in Parliament.

Collating feedback from the business community Chamber’s President Teo Siong Seng was appointed as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) on July 20 2009 to represent the business community’s views in Parliament. At each monthly Parliament sitting, Mr Teo raised industry concerns and key issues faced by businesses and provided suggestions for the government’s consideration, especially with regard to policy changes, and changes to legislation. In order to provide timely and accurate views of the business community, the Research & Publications Department undertakes comprehensive research and surveys to provide pertinent reference materials and statistics, in support of issues raised by President Teo in Parliament in his capacity as NMP. Some of these pertain to the Budget 2010 debate, teaching of Mother Tongue Language, GST (Amendment) Bill, National Productivity Fund Bill, and the Charities (Amendment) Bill.

SCCCI members also proposed a slew of cost reduction measures including lowering the corporate income tax to 16.5%, reducing rental costs through continued provision of rental rebates and reducing transportation costs (e.g. ERP). The Chamber also urged the government to introduce more tax incentives on healthcare benefits for employers who hire or re-employ older workers. As the government was encouraging employers to consider recruiting or re-employing older workers, bringing down healthcare costs for older workers would make this a more viable option. Business owners also indicated that any foreign worker levy increase should be moderate, and take into consideration the acute manpower shortage in specific industries and the need to give local enterprises sufficient notice and time to adjust their business operations and train their staff to increase productivity.

2010 SCCCI SMEs Survey As the government introduced various initiatives to raise productivity, spur innovation and strengthen competitiveness, the Chamber remained concerned if enterprises could identify with the initiatives to raise productivity, and whether their adopted measures were in sync with the government. The Chamber’s Research & Publications Department thus initiated a definitive and thorough survey to seek feedback from members.

新加坡中华总商会2010年常年报告书

Research & Publications Committee

The 2010 SCCCI SMEs Survey was conducted between June and September and studied SMEs’ sentiments on government initiatives to raise productivity.

Conducted throughout the period from June to September, the Survey received encouraging feedback from 1,051 respondents. R&P was responsible for charting the strategic direction, administration and analysis for the 2010 SCCCI SMEs Survey, in collaboration with EDC@SCCCI. The Survey was supported by SPRING Singapore under the SMEs Step-UP Programme.

3.

The Government should take into account the specific requirements of different industries and size of enterprises during the formulation of policies, rather than a “one-sizefits-all” approach. For example, the highly popular Workfare Training Support was indicated by 60.7% of respondents in the services cluster to be the most useful, compared to a lower percentage of 43.2% by respondents in the manufacturing sector.

Key Highlights of the 2010 SCCCI SMEs Survey: 1.

SMEs were making a concerted effort to raise productivity The Survey showed that over 90% of enterprises have implemented at least one measure to raise productivity. Among the three major sectors, the construction cluster was the most active (94.5%), followed by the manufacturing (92.4%) and services (90.6%) segments.

2.

4.

Enterprises of various sizes react differently to government policies Enterprises of different sizes within the same industry were not unanimous in the assessment of how useful government policies were. For example, the Productivity and Innovation Credit was considered useful by 48.7% of medium-size enterprises in the manufacturing sector, while only 30% of small enterprises in the manufacturing sector shared the same sentiments.

Efforts by enterprises should be supported by government policies The Budget 2010 initiatives that were cited by enterprises to be the most useful were the Workfare Training Support (56%), funding to business and trade associations (50%) and the Productivity and Innovation Credit (48%). These three assistance schemes offered the most direct form of funding to raise productivity and strengthen competitiveness among enterprises.

The assistance schemes should be tailored to industry requirements

5.

Enterprises were facing escalating operating costs and pressure from competitors The Survey revealed that despite an increase in business turnover and orders, enterprises did not experience a corresponding increase in profit margins, which underscored the rising operating costs and intense competition faced by local firms.

China and Singapore — Investing in a Shared Future

2011 Pre-Budget Survey and Wish-List The Chamber conducted the “2011 Pre-Budget Survey and Wish-List” in December to solicit our corporate and trade association members for their specific requests regarding Budget 2011, and their outlook for the year. The Survey revealed that enterprises were even more optimistic about their prospects in 2011. A higher proportion of firms (65.8%) forecast increased revenue; more enterprises hoped to raise factory output to meet an increase in business orders (55.3%); while only 38.1% of companies expected larger profit margins. Members expressed the hope for the government to consider the need for businesses to stay competitive and sustainable in a volatile and aggressive environment by introducing more cost-relief measures in Budget 2011. This included reduction of business costs such as utilities and government fees (65.8%); corporate tax reduction (63.1%); GST rebates/concessions (53.9%); property tax/rental rebates (51.3%); reduction of ERP/transportation costs (48.7%); and reduction in foreign worker levy (44.7%). The respondents also called for more pro-business policies, which included more funding to SMEs for tailored training and upgrading (55.3%); incentives to SMEs for industry-specific overseas ventures/consortiums (52.6%); increased subsidies for green initiatives (32.9%); and assistance to SMEs to develop a well-structured HR system (31.6%).

Publications 2009 Annual Report Research & Publications was responsible for compiling and editing all materials for the Annual Report, as well as coordinating the entire publication.

A total of 3,600 copies of the 2009 Annual Report and 3,200 copies of the Financial Statements were printed and subsequently distributed to all members for the Annual General Meeting held on May 27.

Chinese Enterprise An official publication of the Chamber, Chinese Enterprise fulfils not only the important role of covering strategic events organised by the Chamber but puts the pulse on developments in the local and regional economies and the world at large. This bi-monthly and bilingual publication attracts a loyal readership from within its membership and others from the business community, as it continues to improve on the quality of its feature articles, and provide salient insights and commentaries on the state of the economy.

Website Development Research & Publications supports the maintenance and development of three websites, including the corporate website (www.sccci.org.sg), the World Chinese Business Network (www.wcbn.com.sg), and Qiye Tong, the Chinese version of the EnterpriseOne portal (www.sccci.org.sg/enterpriseone).

Corporate Website (www.sccci.org.sg) During the year, the Chamber’s corporate website was redesigned to provide an easier navigation process for members and the public to have access to the reservoir of information and all the latest developments within the Chamber’s vast network. Those accessing the website can find news on significant events initiated by the Chamber and with its business partners, download selected seminar presentations, read speeches and press releases, register online for events, and be linked to many other useful sites.

World Chinese Business Network (www.wcbn.com.sg) The strength of the World Chinese Business Network (WCBN) is its database of ethnic Chinese companies around the world, which it has built up steadily over the years. A value-added feature is the concerted attempt to list the company’s headquarters as well as its overseas subsidiaries. Both public-listed companies, large privately-owned firms, and SMEs, can be found in this global listing of more than 138,000 records.

A history and profile of the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention, founded by the Chamber in 1991, can be found in this website.

Qiye Tong (www.sccci.org.sg/Enterpriseone) A joint project initiated with SPRING Singapore, “企业通” (Qiye Tong) is the Chinese version of the EnterpriseOne portal, which helps to disseminate useful information to SMEs on establishing and sustaining a business in Singapore. The Chamber’s role is that of translating the contents of the portal into Chinese and uploading the Chinese text onto the site. Qiye Tong provides a wealth of information on government assistance schemes and other indispensable information in respect of doing business in the Singapore environment. In order to assist local enterprises in their endeavours to raise productivity and strengthen their competitiveness, the government rolled out a Productivity@Work micro-site, dedicated to productivity-oriented schemes, on top of the existing assistance schemes. This new development added to Qiye Tong’s visitor arrivals during the year. The provision of the Chinese translations in Qiye Tong thus helped to establish greater understanding of these schemes among the Chinese-educated business community.

Seminars, Dialogues & Events Dialogue with Consumers Association of Singapore and the Singapore Jewellers Association On January 20, Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) issued a press release which highlighted four gold jewellery retailers whose surveyed gold jewellery items did not meet the gold fineness standard. A press conference was arranged by CASE the following day. On the request of its Trade Association member, the Singapore Jewellers Association (SJA), the Chamber convened an urgent dialogue with its members on January 27 to discuss their concern over the impact of the press publicity on their industry and business.

Visitors to WCBN, and those keen on the China market, can also tap on an impressive number of entries from mainland Chinese companies.

The Chamber and SJA issued a joint press release on January 29 which noted that the SJA took the integrity of the local jewellery industry and the trust and confidence the consumers had in them very seriously.

Mr Chua also urged the SJA to work closely with the Singapore Assay Office to establish infallible standards in the certification of gold jewellery consistent with practices adhered to and adopted by major gold jewellery manufacturers around the world. In this regard, the Chamber expressed its willingness to play the role of facilitator.

Seminar on “Budget Highlights 2010” On March 11, the Chamber organised a half-day seminar with KPMG at the conference room to provide a concise overview of the key Budget initiatives, including the Productivity and Innovation Credit, Mergers and Acquisitions Allowance, Land Intensification Allowance, Tax Deduction for Angel Investors and simplification of GST accounting rules.

Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series The Chamber invited JY Pillay, Chairman of SGX, to speak at the fourth Distinguished Speakers Lecture Series on March 19, which was organised in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers. The moderator for the discussion session was Annie Koh, Dean, Office of Executive & Professional Education and Associate Dean, Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management University. The event attracted 200 guests from SGX-listed companies, prominent business leaders and government officials. HE Zhang Xiaokang, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China, attended the event together with representatives from the various embassies and high commissions. Mr Pillay’s distinguished career included appointments as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and other key ministries, Monetary Authority of Singapore Managing Director, High Commissioner to Britain and Ambassador to Ireland, and Chairmanship of several government companies. After the Pan-El crisis of 1985, he was involved in implementing new financial and securities laws to reform the financial sector, and headed the advisory panel that led to SGX’s formation. During his tenure as Singapore Airlines Chairman, he was acclaimed internationally for building the national carrier into a leading world-class entity. He also serves as a member of the Presidential Council for Minority Rights. In his speech, Mr Pillay said that SMEs should start the process for good governance early. This would provide them with the opportunity to adapt and evolve best practices to suit their business needs, and avoid inappropriate, cookie-cutter practices being thrust upon them. He suggested that the Chamber should resolve to help its members build a reputation for sound governance, and allow the SCCCI brand to burnish the standing of its members.

Research & Publications Committee Mr Pillay said that as SMEs grow, they would begin to recognise the importance of improving governance; in turn, they might also discover that as governance improves, so would productivity and performance. During the discussion session, Mr Pillay revealed that he felt a director should not sit on more than five boards if these were large and diverse companies that took a lot of time.

Joint Briefing with MOM On April 21, the Chamber organised a seminar in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower and WDA on “Tackling Manpower Issues in the Next Phase of Economic Development”. Supported by EDC@SCCCI and SCCIOB, the event attracted 43 participants. Tan Lin Teck, Assistant Director, Manpower Planning and Policy Division, gave a briefing on “Economic Strategies Committee Report and Budget 2010 Manpower Issues and Recommendations”. He noted that raising skills, innovation and productivity as the basis for growth was the recurring point among the recommendations of the ESC. The national budget released on February 22 was in line with the recommendations and the government would harness all employers and employees in a national effort to boost skills and enterprise productivity. Joanna Chia, Assistant Manager, Labour Relations and Workplaces Division, presented on “Finalised Tripartite Guidelines on Re-employment of Older Employees”. Ms Chia explained how business could prepare by engaging employees and applying the eligible criteria for re-employment, and touched on the re-employment offer, duration of contract and suitable adjustments in job scope, wages and benefits. Chamber’s Secretary-General Lim Sah Soon, the moderator of the panel discussion, encouraged the participants to tap on the services provided by EDC@SCCCI. Representatives from MOM also gave insights on topics including the foreign workers quota, and health benefits and insurance for older workers.

Rethinking your China strategy The Economic Strategies Committee set the government a target of nurturing 1,000 Singapore enterprises with revenues of over $100 million in the next 10 years, so as to develop a deeper base of globally-competitive Singapore enterprises. At the seminar on “Rethinking your China strategy” which SCCCI co-organised on August 18 with PwC, a powerful lineup of speakers expounded on the evolving changes in China and where investors should head in search of market potential. A total of 80 participants attended the seminar. Chua Kay Chuan, IE Singapore Group Director of International Operations (China), disclosed that Singapore’s foreign direct investment in China in 2008 totalled $48 billion – larger than that of the EU ($33 billion) and the US ($14 billion) combined – underlining the Republic’s influence in the Chinese economy. According to Mr Chua, the three main trends that would dominate China’s changing “businesscape” were increasing demand for integrated urban solutions, surge of the middle class consumers and the rise of second tier, central and western cities.

Gabriel Wong, PwC China Advisory Partner (Corporate Finance), shared that PwC had been advising on a number of mergers and acquisitions deals in western China recently as private entrepreneurs there wished to sell stakes in their companies. The economic indicators in the western provinces also gave Mr Wong cause for optimism. Benjamin Ye, PwC China Advisory Partner (Transactions), laid out the challenges of venturing into China due to the rapidlychanging market and regulatory environment. Other changes included rising compliance costs due to environmental concerns and workplace safety, which meant that China was fast losing its cost advantage as the world’s workshop. Gerry Gan, Partner at WongPartnership and Joint Head of China Practice, provided an overview of the labour contracts law which took effect on January 1 2008. He also touched on key issues such as the imposition of non-competing obligations and requirements to publicise employment policies, and what companies should note on staff secondments to China.

Resource Library The Chamber’s Resource Library is stocked with a diversity of current periodicals, business directories, anniversary and souvenir publications of local trade associations, and trade and investment publications from ASEAN, East Asia, South Asia, countries belonging to the European Union, Eastern Europe, North and South America, Australia and Africa. Many of the publications are unique to the Chamber’s Resource Library, especially those belonging to the China collection. These were mainly publications presented by visiting delegations originating from fast-developing provinces in China as well as cities and counties less familiar to local businessmen.

TradeNet Service TradeNet is a nationwide electronic trade documentation system that approves permit applications almost instantaneously, and SCCCI is one of the TradeNet Service Centres authorised by Singapore Customs to issue Inward and Outward permits for traders. Members making use of our TradeNet services are eligible for concessionary rates.

Projects handled included company websites, overseas investment proposals, contracts, certification documents, and corporate promotional collateral. Many of these required translating original English content into simplified Chinese to address the needs of ventures in China, and to facilitate the submission of application procedures to the China authorities. Key translation projects handled during the year with government agencies included: Chinese Guide on Employment Laws for Employers, and publicity material for Competition Commission of Singapore.

SCCCI President Teo Siong Seng extending a warm welcome to China VicePresident Xi Jinping for the Luncheon.

Luncheon in honour of HE Xi Jinping, Vice-President of the People’s Republic of China China’s Vice-President, HE Xi Jinping, paid a 3-day visit to Singapore in November to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Singapore’s diplomatic ties with China – his first since his appointment as Vice-Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee – which signified the importance of this milestone and the desire to foster even closer relations between both countries. In conjunction with his visit, SCCCI and co-host Business China, together with the support of the Singapore Business Federation, Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations, China Enterprises Association (Singapore) and Singapore China Friendship Association, organised a Luncheon on November 15 at the St Regis Singapore to welcome Vice-President Xi and his delegation, underscoring the enduring friendship between the Chamber and China’s leaders. Among the 360 guests who attended the luncheon were senior government officials and business leaders from Singapore and China, including Special Distinguished Guest and Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts Lui Tuck Yew, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Sam Tan, and SCCCI council members. In his welcome address, Chamber’s President Teo Siong Seng noted that both countries had accumulated a wealth of experience in terms of economic, cultural and personnel exchange over the past 20 years, while the Chamber had taken strides to cultivate firm and close relations with China since the early years of Singapore’s independence. Mr Teo encouraged Chinese enterprises to work with the Chamber to create new growth paths and business models, and called on them to regard Singapore as a strategic springboard to venture into the global market, particularly with the ASEAN region.

During his speech, Senior Minister Goh emphasised that the ties between both countries were more than just political and economic, with deep people-to-people relations. Singapore had also proposed establishing a Cultural Exchange Centre in Gulangyu in Xiamen, to showcase the strong historical and cultural linkages between Fujian and Singapore. As China’s needs evolved over time, SM Goh stressed that Singapore aimed to remain a close partner in China’s development agenda. He expressed a desire for Singapore companies to work together with SCCCI and Business China to find new areas to grow the relationship, and contribute to the development of Singapore-China relations. Vice-President Xi, in his remarks to the Luncheon dignitaries, said that he was moved by the sincere desire of the Singapore government and people to advance the good-neighbourly and friendly relations with China. As the world entered the second decade of the 21st century, Vice-President Xi indicated that China-Singapore relations stood at a new historical starting point. He believed that both countries should strengthen cooperation across the board against the backdrop of complex and profound changes in the international scene, and contribute to further growth of bilateral relations, regional harmony and stability, and to peace and development of Asia. In rounding up his speech, Vice-President Xi announced that with Asia boasting the fastest and most vibrant growth in the world, China wished to work hand in hand with Singapore and other Asian countries to leverage on the current favourable situation, share development opportunities, rise up to challenges and make unrelenting efforts for lasting peace and common prosperity in Asia. On behalf of the Chamber, participating organisations and guests, Mr Teo raised a toast to Vice-President Xi at the Luncheon.

He added that a company should place greater emphasis on customer service once it was well-established, as the key to continued success would be fulfilling customer expectations.

This year’s ICC theme and programme focused on the concepts of innovation and productivity as an enterprise’s engine of growth and profitability, where exploiting the use of infocomm technology (ICT) will achieve higher productivity and efficiency.

Mr Teo said that the instrumental role of the ICC was to encourage local enterprises to provide more innovative products and services by using ICT as a strategic tool, discover the most suitable ICT solutions for their business models, and eventually use ICT to boost productivity. He added that throughout the year, the ICC was being complemented at all levels by the SME Infocomm Resource Centre (SIRC@SCCCI). A joint initiative between IDA and SCCCI in 2008, the SIRC@SCCCI had succeeded in bringing value and assisted many SME participants in their IT journey over these two years. In his keynote speech, guest of honour Lui Tuck Yew, Acting Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts, launched the latest iSPRINT initiative which would simplify the subsidy application process. This initiative made it easy for first-time adopters among SMEs to seek assistance in their infocomm adoption journey. Minister Lui added that SMEs are now empowered to adopt infocomm for their businesses through wideranging support, including financial incentives, domain knowledge and enhanced infrastructure.

He urged local enterprises to tap on these available ICT programmes to increase productivity and expand their businesses. The Conference also had nine conference tracks, where ICT practitioners and experts addressed business challenges faced by enterprises and gave insights on using ICT to propel enterprise growth and profitability. The panel sessions covered topics such as “Challenges as Opportunities: What to Expect in the Changing World”, IDA infocomm programmes and initiatives, “Innovation forum”, “Marketing forum”, National Broadband Network, Smarter Retail solutions, “How SMEs can win big companies”, as well as a Mandarin forum. More than 50 speakers presented their business and technology insights to the participants.

The forum saw industry and academic experts giving an in-depth analysis and forecasts of global economic developments in preparation for the next business wave. Bernard Yeung, Dean and Stephen Riady Distinguished Professor, NUS Business School, began with his presentation on “A Challenging Future in the Global Business Landscape”. He pointed out that Asian countries needed to strengthen their policy infrastructure and improve market structure. He also felt that Singapore companies had to build up internal capabilities and cultivate talent so as to ride on the booming Asian growth. David Cohen, Director of Asian Economic Forecasting, Action Economics LLC, held an optimistic but cautious view by stressing that growth in Asia might be clipped due to the stagnant developed economies, weak US consumption, foreign exchange risk, and withdrawal of stimulus packages. Kelvin Tay, Executive Director (Product & Services Consulting) Southeast Asia, UBS Wealth Management, was confident that technology stocks would perform well due to the upcoming trend of consumers switching to smartphones and new operating systems. A good number among the 300 delegates who attended the forum posed questions during the panel discussion chaired by Vikram Khanna, Associate Editor of The Business Times.

Patrick Ho, Director, Asia Pacific Wealth Management Research, UBS, in his presentation “Post-Financial-Crisis Asia Economy”, said that China will take the lead during the financial recovery and that other Asian economies were also likely to enjoy a healthy recovery. Hence, Asian assets were expected to bring in higher returns. Speaking on the local property market outlook, Steven Choo, CEO, REDAS, predicted that the property market will continue to be active in 2010 after a bullish 2009. He also warned investors not to stretch themselves financially in their property investments. Referring to the economic downturn between 1998 and 2001, Loh Hoon Sun, Managing Director of Phillip Securities, noted that enterprise profits tend to decline with the decrease in national GDP. He also expressed confidence in the share performances of banks, REITS and telecommunication companies. Moderated by Woo Keng Choong, Deputy Chief Editor, Chinese News and Current Affairs, MediaCorp News, the panel discussion fielded questions from the audience on the trends in the local stock and property market and global foreign currency.

Minister Ng stressed that the education system would not hold back students who demonstrated higher proficiency while ensuring students who were weaker in MTL were not neglected. He also said that the aim of the MTL review was to explore more effective teaching methods and take into account the changing language environment where the majority of students came from predominantly English speaking environments at home. This was to produce proficient users among future cohorts of students with a wider spread of language backgrounds and abilities. Minister Ng said that the MTL Review Committee would address the over-emphasis on examination performance and examine the way students are assessed and graded, and create the best environment for MTL learning to give Singaporeans the best headstart in life. He also encouraged the Chamber to work closely with schools to provide a platform for students to learn and practise their Mandarin.

These programmes were specifically developed to help foreigners and new immigrants from China integrate into society. The Institute achieved a record performance in 2009 with income hitting $4.5 million, a hefty increase of 8.61%. This outstanding result was due to the collective effort, teamwork, dedication and commitment of its staff. Going forward, SCCIOB has drawn up a strategic plan to develop internationally recognised programmes and attain EduTrust certification in its goal to be a first-rate education institution.

Language Studies Centre (LSC) The LSC launched a preparatory course for new work permit holders and those seeking to renew their work permits for the Service Literacy Test (SLT) in July. The Diploma in Translation and Interpretation and the Diploma in Professional Chinese Teaching witnessed an 11.7% growth in income and a 9.4% growth in net surplus compared to 2009. SCCIOB continued its collaborations with major enterprises, government agencies and institutions of higher learning such as DBS, Civil Service College, Temasek Junior College, Monetary Authority of Singapore, EDB and IE Singapore. The institute conducted a specialised Chinese language and cultural preparatory course in August for eight Public Service Commission (PSC) scholars who were furthering their studies in China. The previous collaboration with WDA to offer Business Mandarin courses, which attracted 1,481 enrolments in 70 classes, expired on June 30. A total of five classes had commenced as of December 31 under the new twoyear agreement in August. LSC is currently awaiting WDA accreditation for two new programmes and three new modules on conversation and writing skills.

The International Business Fellowship (iBF) China programme developed in collaboration with IE Singapore organised six missions to China which covered cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu. ITC provided training to 15 Chinese delegates from different provinces and cities, various government bureaus and agencies, and private and state owned enterprises. A total of 395 Chinese participants visited Singapore over the year for training, while 140 participants from local SMEs or government agencies received training in China. ITC participated in a number of conferences in China including the annual work conference organised by the China State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) in Shaoxing in April and the Conference on International Exchange of Professionals in Shenzhen in October.

New General Manager The National Heritage Board appointed Shaun Phua on November 8 as the new General Manager of the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall to oversee its development and administration.

Resource Panel Lim Guan Hock, Huang Jian Li, Lee Cheuk Yin, Teo Han Wue and Toh Lam Huat were appointed to the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall Resource Panel from December 1 2009 to November 30 2011. Wong Sin Keong and Lee Guan Kin accepted the invitation from the SYSNMH Board to join as volunteer members of the Resource Panel from February 10 2010 to November 30 2011.

Donation from the Society of Modern Management, Singapore Following the recommendation from Philip Kia, Vice-Chairman of the SCCCI Technology Committee, seven members of the Society of Modern Management, Singapore, donated $41,000 to the Memorial Hall during the Members Night on January 2 for its operations and development.

Redevelopment Works The Memorial Hall closed on October 11 for redevelopment works, which is scheduled for completion in 2011. Members of the public enjoyed free entry to the Memorial Hall on October 1-10 before it underwent redevelopment. The artefacts and exhibits were handled with care, and valuable artefacts were handed over to professional companies for preservation and storage. After its redevelopment, the Memorial Hall will offer a unique perspective on the contributions of the Singapore Chinese community, Chinese businessmen and Balestier Area

residents during the 1911 Chinese Revolution, so as to offer an enhanced visitor experience. More spaces and facilities will also be allocated for rental and cultural activities. The Urban Redevelopment Authority is working with the developers of the integrated hotel-park site which is located next to the Memorial Hall, and is expected to be completed in 2011. The stone stele with the engraving of “'One man changed China, Dr Sun Yat Sen�, a quotation by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, would be relocated from the Memorial Hall to the future, Zhong Shan Park. The Memorial Hall will be allowed to hold 12 events yearly at the park.

The 22nd Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorial Conference The 22nd Sun Yat Sen and Soong Ching Ling Memorial Conference was organised by the Sun Yat Sen Penang Base Memorial Hall in Penang, Malaysia on November 20-21. Wan Shung Ming, Chairman of SCCCI External Relations Committee, and Lee Peng Shu, Chairman of SCCCI Community Affairs Committee, both board members of the SYSNMH, attended the event. Mr Wan delivered a speech while Mr Lee presented an academic paper.

The SYSNMH staff presented a paper on “The Significance of Sun Yat Sen’s spirit in the Modern Society of Singapore”.

The representatives established good relations with their Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall counterparts and gained experience in management, operations and development. This knowledge would be invaluable for the redevelopment of the Memorial Hall.

Discussions revolved around the significance of the Huanghuagang Uprising, Sun Yat Sen Penang Conference, Sun Yat Sen’s links with overseas Chinese communities, background of the Chinese Revolution as well as the thinking of Sun Yat Sen.

The NHB agreed to work with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Beijing Committee to foster better relations between both countries, through joint organisation of exhibitions, information sharing and staff exchange programmes. In addition, they visited the descendants of Teo Eng Hock, before visiting Teo Kim Wah, daughter of Mr Teo, in San Francisco.

Joint Organisation of Two Seminars with Local Cultural Organisations The 100th Anniversary of the United Chinese Library established by Sun Yat Sen fell on August 8. Two seminars were organised with SYSNMH to introduce Dr Sun and his historical links with the United Chinese Library. On October 3, the Memorial Hall organised a seminar with Nanyang Confucian Association on the topic: The relationship of Confucianism and Sun Yat Sen‘s Three Principles of the People philosophy. The Memorial Hall also jointly organised a seminar with United Chinese Library and Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore on August 7 for the topic: Dr Sun Yat Sen and his links with United Chinese Library. The two events served as preludes to the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 Chinese Revolution.
