DBS Bank’s Ms Karen Ngui addressing the media
Do you know that we produced 7.7 million tonnes of waste equal to 15,000 Olympic-size swimming pools in 2017?
This staggering amount of rubbish is an astonishing seven-fold increase from 40 years ago! At this rate of waste generation, Singapore’s only landfill in Semakau will run out of space by 2035.
Do you wish to start your own business one day? Or work from the comfort of your own home?
I’m sure that many of you do. Beyond the flexibility of being your own boss, doing so may also protect you from the vagaries of the economy.

Do you know that around 800 million people go to bed hungry every night?
That’s a staggering 1 in 9 people. What’s more ironical, at least according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, is that we actually produce enough food to feed everyone on our planet.

Do you know what the secret to enduring business success is?
Nope, it isn’t in building awesome products. Nor does it come from building an awesome company. Or an awesome brand for that matter.

Do you know that banking is now a digital platform business? Or that the CEO of DBS Bank probably knows a lot more about IT than many of us?
With the disruptive forces of e-commerce and m-commerce at play, banks need to shift their business model – from bricks and mortar to clicks and mortar.
(Updated 29 July 2017) Amazon Prime Now has just launched in Singapore, and is taking the local grocery delivery market by storm.
Demand has been so overwhelming that delivery was unavailable for quite some time. Industry pundits are now watching how the battle between Prime Now, Lazada’s LiveUp, HonestBee, and other players will turn up.

Are women being fairly treated here in Singapore? How could we ensure a fairer spread of responsibilities and opportunities between the sexes?
These weighty issues were given a hearing last week at the Conference on Harmony in Diversity by the International Women’s Forum supported by DBS Bank.
The good old days of double digit economic growth and abundant choice jobs are over.
We are now entering an unusual stage in the global economy characterised by slow growth and painful economic restructuring.
