2014年是忙碌而又收获丰硕的一年，本会努力实现与企 业携手共创永续成长的使命。

加强商团合作与协助 今年5月，本会以“互助合作 共同创新”为主题举办 了第三届商团大会。大会首次邀请海内外商团代表同台与 400名出席者分享成功经验。本会的经济研究部也在会上分 享了商团所面对的挑战，以及协助商团提高实力的四项建 议。大会主宾是贸工部林勋强部长，特别贵宾是张思乐政务 部长。 本会继续每月按照行业相关性与商团会员定期举办午餐 交流会，介绍政策调整，收集业者反馈。通过这些反馈，本 会可以有效地与政府部门沟通，并与商团会员一起携手帮助 属下会员公司，重点提高行业生产力。

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

加强区域联系 共谋发展 为继续探索区域合作机会，今年3月，本会在印尼驻新 加坡大使馆的鼎力支持下派出了37人的印尼考察团，到西卡 朗、雅加达与泗水探寻进一步了解印尼庞大市场的潜在商业 和投资机会。 马来西亚一直是本地企业最大的海外投资地点，尤其是 紧邻新加坡，合作空间大，商业用地资源丰富的依斯干达。 随着到依斯干达投资的本地企业日益增加，本会把握时机成 立了“新加坡中华总商会依斯干达交流站”，这是一个让企 业分享与学习彼此在特区投资和经商经验的联系平台。配合 11月正式启动，交流站举办了首场座谈会，分享投资相关课 题，介绍马来西亚将在2015年4月开始实行的消费税，目前 交流站的会员人数一直在稳定增长。

向政府传达中小企业的心声和建议 为此，11月份本会为因政府条例改变而受影响的商团和 会员公司举办了两场说明会。11月13日，在本会的支持下， 卫生部举办了华语说明会，向商团会员、烟草零售商讲解将 在2016年实施的烟草产品销售点展示禁令拟议指导原则。 另外，基于大厦消防安全考量，新加坡民防部队全面停 止发出大厦内设置冷冻货柜的暂用许可证。本会因此与民防 部队于11月21日为商家举行一场说明会，让受影响的商家对 有关条例有更加充分的了解，同时为商家提供有效的解决方 案，以降低条例对业者的影响。

本会对新中关系的贡献倍受肯定 11月，本会荣获2014年通商中国企业奖，这是对本会一 百多年来与中国建立稳固关系的肯定。无论是新中两国正式 建交前还是建交后，本会在商业、贸易、投资、文化交流、 教育和培训等领域都与中国毫无间断地一直保持着密切合作 关系。 庞大与多元化的市场，以及各行各业蕴含的商业机遇， 使中国持续成为本地企业最重视的海外市场。今年3月，我 率领36人的商贸代表团赴中国广东省广州市、珠海市进行考 察，了解已申报成为自由贸易区的南沙及横琴这两个开发区 的发展前景。代表团也参观了“中新广州知识城”和新开发 的“大坦沙”探寻商机和潜在的合作领域。 2014年，新中商务论坛迈入了第三年，今年的主题是 “借力旗舰项目 扬帆中国市场”。其中一场论坛专门邀请 了新加坡在中国的六大旗舰项目，即中新苏州工业园区、中 新天津生态城、中新吉林食品区、中新广州知识城、新川创 新科技园、中新南京生态科技岛负责机构的高层管理人员， 分享在这几个遍布中国各地的项目发展经验。 另外，本会今年也出版了《新加坡投资指南“借势狮城 扬帆海外：新加坡–中国企业走向国际的桥头堡”》，内容收 录了在新加坡投资的各种信息，并于10月在重庆推出。通过 这本指南，本会希望协助中国企业实行“走出去”策略，并 以新加坡为投资首选基地。

本会继续通过举办各种意见调查了解中小企业所关注的 课题，并将这些课题整理后转发给政府部门参考。 令人欣慰的是，政府在制定预算案时采纳了本会在 《财政预算案前意见调查》中提出的诉求，包括：将生产力 与创新优惠计划（PIC）延长多三年，直到2018估税年，以 及扩大创新与能力赠券计划（ICV）的使用范围，允许商家 用于购买器材。 今年中，本会展开了《总商会中小企业意见调查》，了 解商界的经营展望与挑战、提高生产力的进展情况、政府援 助计划对企业有何帮助，以及企业进军海外的趋势等。总结 645家企业提供的反馈，本会发现有更多企业已经善用政府 援助计划，积极采取行动提高生产力；更多微型企业迎头赶 上，积极转型；更多企业面对经营成本上涨的挑战。调查也 发现，本地企业的海外投资热点为马来西亚、中国和印尼。 正当政府筹备2015年度财政预算案之际，本会展开了 《2015年度财政预算案公布前意见调查》，并在年底把反馈 与建议提交给政府部门参考，建议政府继续支持并资助中小 企业提高生产力。

向世界最佳企业学习 转变思维 今年，本会最重要的工作之一是支持全国生产力运动。 鉴于这一轮的生产力提升更具策略性和挑战性，本地企业比 较缺乏适合的解决方案，因此本会认为有必要带领企业向世 界级的公司学习。为达成目标，本会根据不同行业的需求， 如：餐饮、食品加工、零售、五金及精密机械工程等，举办 以提高生产力为主题的海外集训营，让企业代表有机会到日 本、韩国、中国大陆、台湾和香港等地向同行学习。10月， 本会也第一次组织了德国生产力提升集训营，到慕尼黑、斯 图加特和法兰克福，向在德国经济中扮演重要角色的中小企 业学习。

今年，本会属下的专业培训机构新加坡中华总商会管理 学院，在庆祝三十周年之际奠定了新的里程碑。成立于1984 年的本会管理学院，在三十年内从成立、成长、转型，到成 为倍受各界认同、课程全面的专业培训机构，每一个阶段都 在稳健发展。8月，管理学院举办三十周年庆典晚宴，财政 部兼交通部高级政务部长杨莉明担任主宾，与260位出席的 宾客共襄盛举，一同庆祝学院三十年来的辉煌成就。

区域华商机构的互动 作为世界华商大会的创办机构，本会在巩固区域和世界 各地华商机构的关系方面扮演了举足轻重的角色。今年，登 嘉楼中华总商会、缅甸华商商会、西澳中华总商会、英国中 华总商会等华商机构到访本会，建立合作关系，加强友谊。 本会也组织了回访活动，于9月派出22人代表团出席由登嘉 楼中华总商会举办的登嘉楼土生华人文化大会。本会也积极 支持区域庆祝活动，出席菲华商联总会60周年钻禧庆典、欢 庆马中建交40周年暨马来西亚中华总商会成立68周年晚宴和 吉隆坡暨雪兰莪中华总商会110周年会庆联欢晚宴。

7月2日《个人资料保护法令》正式生效，随之而来的是 中小企业迫切需要了解新规定的内容。本会管理学院受委 为新加坡劳动力发展局和个人资料保护委员会的课程合作伙 伴，开办由个人资料保护委员会开发的新技能资格标准课程 及评估计划课程，也开拓了学院培训课程的新领域。课程自 6月开始已经成功开办10个班，培训了170名候任资料保护 专员。 学院各培训中心也保持了出色的成绩。学院举办的并 切实有效的语言文化培训课程一直在本地享有盛名，尤其 是“新技能资格工作场所华语”课程更是处在市场领先地 位。除了为华族学员提供听、说、读、写的培训，学院也通 过马来／回教社会发展理事会为马来社群开办华语课程，增 进他们对华语与华族文化的了解。

强化与微型企业的联系 发展特别兴趣小组 今年是本会特别兴趣小组的丰收年。青年企业家联系网 的商业指导项目，邀请本会资深董事为青年企业家分享经 验，指导业务。小组也为青年企业家安排实地考察活动，如 到昇菘集团总部和The Cocoa Trees公司现场学习、参观，深 入了解这些大企业的日常的运作。小组也非常重视中华商业 道德和价值观传承，通过举办双语座谈会和工作坊，向青年 企业家传授中华商业道德和价值观。青企网也举办“与部长 交流”系列午餐会，让组委及本会年轻董事和会员近距离聆 听部长对各项政策的分析，也反馈并表达年青一代对于各项 经济与民生课题的看法。 事业女性组以“德、智、群、美”四个核心价值观为出发 点，展开一系列活动，协助事业女性作全方位的发展。 今年以“永恒，跨时代，跨国界，女性迈向未来”为主 题的国际三八妇女节庆祝活动，首次邀请海外杰出女性包括 中国枫岚事业有限公司董事长李巍、中国百度首席财务官李 昕晢来新担任主讲嘉宾，与出席者分享心得，为事业女性组 的活动取得新突破。

今年，本会中小企业中心在协助微型企业克服挑战、取 得业务增长方面创下了骄人的成绩。 为拓展在邻里的活动，本会中小企业中心今年4月在宏 茂桥联络所设立了第二间邻里卫星中心，协助邻里中小企 业，特别是微型企业，了解政府提供的各种援助计划，提高 业务能力。在中小企业中心和两个卫星中心的努力下，成功 协助包括小吃店、传统中药店、发廊和面包西果店等邻里微 型企业提高服务素质与生产力。 2014年，中小企业中心为超过4,200家中小型企业提供 咨询服务，比2013年增长了50%。在中心和邻里卫星中心 强力推广之下，中心也吸引了约2,800家中小型企业出席各 项活动，与2013年相比增加了120%。 本会一直带头并鼓励会员商家遵守政府的有关政策和法 规。政府将于两年内强制雇主为员工提供详细的薪水单， 为协助微型企业遵守此条例，本会与新加坡制造技术研究 院（SIMTech）联合设计了简单实用的电子薪水单软件，有 效协助企业管理员工的个人信息及每月薪水资料，自动处理 每月的薪水单，计算所需交纳的公积金数额，自动生成员工 薪水报告。本会在大年初一推出了电子薪水单软件，此后 陆续主办了多个工作坊，协助会员商家了解和熟悉软件的 应用。

崇尚包容性社会

成为商界代表

本会一向以包容性的立场不断加强社会凝聚力，积极参 加社区参与计划，并向其他社群伸出援手，共享资源。

8月，我被委任为新一届官委议员，在国会里为商家请 命，维护商界的利益。这是个全新的角色而且责任极为重 大，我将竭尽全力，提呈切实有效的建设性意见，确保本地 企业，特别是中小企业的愿望、心声和看法在国会里得到充 分的反映。

除了现有的总商会基金奖学金，本会也在今年与新加 坡印度人发展协会联合颁发奖学金。从2015年起，每年出 资2万元，颁发4份各5千元的奖学金，奖励在本地四所大学 就读的优秀印度族大学生。在今年9月印度人发展协会举办 的“2014卓越成就奖”颁奖典礼上，双方签署了奖学金合作 协议书。

响应“建国50周年”庆典活动 为配合2015年新加坡建国50周年庆祝活动，本会发起了 两项意义非凡的标志性项目，即“新加坡建国50周年杰出华 商奖”和“总商会历史展”。举办这两项活动的目的是让社会 各界更加全面地了解华商群体和华商精神，以及本会在建国 历程中扮演的角色。虽然这两项活动都将于2015年举行，但 本会今年初就已开始筹备，并在4月召开媒体发布会，向外 界公布。

感谢政府和商界的支持 如果没有会员商家、政府机构、商业社群和各界朋友的 支持与参与，本会无法在一年内完成如此众多的项目与活 动。我谨此感谢全体董事在各个不同的委员会负起责任，辛 勤工作；感谢新加坡国际企业发展局、标新局、资讯通信发 展管理局、劳动力发展局、裕廊集团等政府部门，以及本 会的商业合作伙伴、商团会员、驻新使馆等对本会的大力支 持。我也很幸运有一支专业秘书处团队，致力于完成商会的 工作，竭尽所能确保每个项目无论大小都能顺利进行，为协 助本地企业获得永续发展作出贡献。

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

2014 was an exceptionally busy and fruitful year for the Chamber, as we went about our work to fulfil our mission of partnering enterprises for sustainable growth.

Strengthening Collaboration and Assistance to the Trade Associations In May, the Chamber held the 3rd Trade Association Congress at the auditorium, revolving around the theme of “Partnership for Innovation and Growth”. It was also the first time the Congress, which was attended by around 400 participants, featured a sharing session by invited speakers from two overseas Trade Associations, from Taiwan and Hong Kong. The Congress also presented the challenges faced by the trade associations and the four wishes that could help to strengthen the associations' capability. Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang graced the event as Guest of Honour, and Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck attended the event as Special Guest.

During the year, the Chamber continued with its monthly luncheon dialogues with trade association members according to industry clusters, to brief them on changes in government regulations and to obtain pertinent feedback. With their feedback, the Chamber could then facilitate the communication with the government and also collaborate with them to help their members, particularly in productivity upgrading.

In this regard, the Chamber organised two separate briefing sessions in November for its trade association members and businesses affected by changes in government regulations in their respective sectors. On November 13, the Ministry of Health, with the Chamber’s support, engaged our trade association members and tobacco retailers on the proposed guidelines for implementing the Point of Sale Display ban for tobacco products, which will take effect at tobacco retail outlets by the end of 2016.

Separately, on November 21, SCCCI organised a session and invited Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to give members a briefing on SCDF’s decision to stop issuing Temporary Permits for the placement of freezer/storage containers at private, HDB and JTC factories with effect from November 1 2014, due to fire safety concerns.

Affirming SCCCI’s Solid Ties with China The Chamber received the Business China Enterprise Award in November. This was a significant recognition for the SCCCI’s solid foundation of ties which had been established with China for more than a century. It was truly an affirmation for the lasting relations we had forged with China, and having made a significant difference in the flows of business, trade, investment, cultural exchange, education and training, both before and after the formalisation of diplomatic ties.

China remains one of the most important overseas markets for local enterprises owing to its huge market, diversity and opportunities in many industries. In March, I led a 36-member business mission to Guangzhou and Zhuhai to understand the latest developments of Nansha in Guangzhou and Hengqin in Zhuhai, which were both applying to the Central government for a similar status as the Shanghai Free Trade Zone set up in 2013. The mission also explored business opportunities in the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City project and newly developing projects like Datansha in Guangzhou.

The Singapore-China Business Forum entered its third year in 2014, and this time it strategically chose “Riding on Flagship Projects” as its theme. One of the two panel sessions featured guest speakers from Singapore’s six flagship projects in China, namely the Suzhou Industrial Park, Tianjin Eco-City, Guangzhou Knowledge City, Jilin Food Zone, Sichuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park and Nanjing Eco HiTech Island, who shared their experiences in these diverse projects spread across the huge land expanse of China.

Another new initiative during the year was the publication of a Singapore Investment Guide 2014/2015, which contains essential information on doing business in Singapore. This guide, officially launched in Chongqing in conjunction with a forum in October, would help China enterprises in their “Go Global” strategy, using Singapore as their preferred business location.

Strengthening Regional Networks for Growth Continuing with the efforts to explore regional opportunities, the Chamber despatched a large 37-member business mission to Indonesia in March, organised with the strong support of the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore. The mission covered the cities of Cikarang, Jakarta and Surabaya, offering delegates an opportunity to explore Indonesia as a market with a large consumer population and a low-cost production base.

Malaysia has always been the top foreign investment destination for Singapore business people, and Iskandar Malaysia, in particular, has great potential with its close proximity to Singapore and vast stretches of industrial land. Given the increasing strong presence of Singaporeans doing business in Iskandar Malaysia, the Chamber found it opportune to establish the Iskandar Network@SCCCI, a dynamic business network connecting like-minded business people to share and learn from each other’s experiences. We have seen a steady growth in the membership of Iskandar Network@ SCCCI following its launch in November in conjunction with its first seminar on issues related to investing in Iskandar Malaysia and the introduction of Malaysia’s GST from April 2015.

Voicing SMEs’ Concerns and Solutions to the Government Pertinent concerns of the SMEs continue to be monitored by the Chamber through its various surveys, and forwarded to the government for its consideration. We were particularly pleased to see that some of the recommendations from the Pre-Budget Wish List had been adopted in Budget 2014, these being the extension of the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme for another three years till YA 2018, and that the Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV) would be enhanced to include the purchase of equipment.

In mid-year, the Chamber’s annual SME Survey was conducted to understand the business outlook and the challenges faced by the business community, the status of their productivity improvement efforts, take-up rate of government assistance schemes and the trends of enterprises expanding overseas. Based on the feedback of 645 enterprises that took part in the survey, it was discovered that more SMEs are taking concrete measures to improve productivity and leverage on government incentives, a greater number of micro-enterprises are catching up on the bid to restructure, the top overseas markets for internationalisation are Malaysia, China and Indonesia, and more companies are facing the challenge of rising operating costs.

会务检讨 PRESIDENT’S REVIEW

Ahead of Budget 2015, a Pre-Budget Survey was also launched to solicit feedback from the business community, with the resulting findings and recommendations forwarded to ministries and government agencies for their consideration towards year end. We recommended to the government to continue their support and funding, particularly to the SMEs in their productivity upgrading effort.

Changing Mindsets through Learning from the Best Practices in the World One of the priority areas for the Chamber this year was our support of the national productivity drive. Noting that this round of productivity upgrading was more strategic and drastic, the Chamber felt the need to learn from the best practices in the world as local solutions may not be available. To attain this goal, the Chamber organised productivity-focused overseas training workshops and camps catering to specific industry clusters like food & beverage, retail, metal and precision engineering, allowing delegates to learn from their overseas peers in Guangzhou, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In October, we even went much further afield to send an inaugural Best Practices & Productivity Training to Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt, to learn from the successful operations of “Mittelstand”, the backbone of the German economy.

Recharging SMEs at Signature Events The SMEs Conference and Infocomm Commerce Conference, in its 16th and 17th years respectively, have grown not only in size but in stature and influence to be the definitive conferences for local SMEs. Held in August alongside the SME Expo, these conferences have garnered a huge following among Chinese-speaking business owners who invariably look forward to the many plenary sessions and workshops conducted in Mandarin. The SME business community can also draw inspiration from the many thought leaders, gurus and eminent chief executives gathered within this impressive platform. This year’s theme was “Transforming SME 1.0 to SME 2.0: Recalibrate. Reload. Renew”, and attracted 4,700 SME representatives who came forward to network with leading business experts and attain latest business knowledge to transform their businesses. Making a debut at the SMEs Conference was the CEO Productivity Masterclass in Mandarin conducted by Dr Chang Bao-Cheng, General Manager of the China Productivity Center, who shared his compelling ideas on innovative management mindset and creating enterprise excellence.

Bonding among Regional Chinese Chambers Our role as founder of the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) has been instrumental in establishing a firm foundation among Chinese chambers in the region as well as in different parts of the world. During the year, we received courtesy calls from counterpart Chinese chamber delegations from Terengganu, Myanmar, Western Australia and the United Kingdom to establish greater rapport and strengthen the bonds of friendship. We also reciprocated the visit of the Terengganu Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry by sending a 22-member delegation to participate in their Terengganu Peranakan Conference and ancillary activities in September. Our representatives also joined in several regional anniversary functions and events, such as the 60th Anniversary of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc, the 68th Anniversary dinner of The

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry of Malaysia, and the 110th Anniversary dinner of The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

Growing Special Interest Groups It was a very fruitful year for the various special interest groups. The Young Entrepreneurs Network (YEN) stepped up its mentorship programme and invited council members to engage in candid mentoring sessions with youth members. These were followed up by visits to the business premises of council members, like the headquarters of the Sheng Siong Group and The Cocoa Trees Group, for young entrepreneurs to understand the day-to-day operations of these established companies. There was also a conscious effort to pass on traditional Chinese values and business ethics to the younger generation, one of the most important missions of the YEN, through its bilingual talks and workshops. During the year, YEN organised four ministerial luncheon meetings during which its members interacted with ministers and provided feedback on current social and economic issues from the perspective of the younger generation.

The Career Women’s Group (CWG), with its focus on cultivating the four core values of De (Virtue), Zhi (Wisdom), Qun (Fellowship) and Mei (Grace), organised a series of activities throughout the year to help in the holistic development of career women.

CWG’s annual International Women’s Day celebrations in March chalked up another first. “Timeless: Crossing Boundaries, Bridging Generations, Moving Forward”, the adopted theme, marked the first time distinguished overseas female leaders like Li Wei from Fenglan Industrial Co Ltd and Jennifer Li from Baidu were invited as guest speakers to the conference.

Celebrating Three Decades of Training Excellence The Chamber’s training subsidiary, the Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business (SCCIOB), attained a new landmark upon reaching its 30th anniversary during the year. Since it was set up in 1984, these three decades have demonstrated the steady development of the SCCIOB – from establishment, growth and transformation to become a reputable and professional training and education institute providing a full suite of courses. The occasion was celebrated with a dinner attended by 260 guests in August during which Senior Minister of State for Finance and Transport Josephine Teo was invited as the Guest of Honour.

With the data protection obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act coming into effect on July 2, there was an immediate urgency for SMEs to understand how they could comply with the new rules. During the year, SCCIOB was accredited by WDA and Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) as one of the course providers to conduct a PDPA course using the WSQ standard curriculum and standard assessment developed by PDPC. This was one of the new areas of training for SCCIOB. A total of 10 runs have been offered since June with 170 potential Data Protection Officers benefiting from this course.

Respective centres of SCCIOB continued to do well, and the Language Studies Centre has always been highly regarded for its practical and effective Chinese language training courses, particularly in being the leading provider for WSQ Business Mandarin courses. Apart from training opportunities for ethnic

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

Chinese in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, we also extended the courses to the Malay community through MENDAKI, giving them an exposure to the appreciation of Chinese language and culture.

Extending the Outreach to Micro-enterprises 2014 recorded a year of accomplishment for SME Centre@SCCCI in meeting its objectives to help micro-enterprises overcome challenges and achieve business growth. To supplement its activities in heartland areas, SME Centre@SCCCI went ahead to open another centre – SME Centre@Ang Mo Kio – in April this year, the objective being to provide much-needed assistance for micro-enterprises to tap on grants for productivity improvement and increase of sales. Through concerted efforts by both satellite centres in Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio, the Centre reached out to a myriad of micro-enterprises in the heartlands covering food stores, traditional Chinese medicine stores, hair salons and bakeries.

In 2014, the Centre provided advisory services to over 4,200 SMEs, a 50 per cent increase compared to 2013. The Centre also reached out to around 2,800 SMEs in 2014, representing a 120 per cent increase through intensified outreach efforts by the Centre and its satellites in the heartlands.

The Chamber always takes the lead to help its members address issues related to business compliance. With the policy of issuing itemised payslips becoming mandatory within the next two years, and the difficulties this may pose to small companies or microenterprises due to lack of knowhow or resources, the Chamber worked with the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) to develop an ePayslip Generator which small companies or micro-enterprises could adopt. This flexible and easy-to-use solution could help to effectively manage employees’ personal information and monthly payment; automate the monthly payslip generation process; calculate the monthly CPF contribution, and generate the pay summary report. The ePayslip generator was officially announced on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after which a number of familiarisation and training sessions were organised for the benefit of our members.

Embracing an Inclusive Society The Chamber has always adopted an inclusive approach in strengthening the roots of social cohesion; we continue to participate actively in community engagement programmes and reach out to other members of the community by sharing our resources.

During the year, the Chamber established another scholarship in collaboration with the Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA), over and above its existing Singapore Chinese Chamber

of Commerce Foundation scholarship commitments. From 2015 onwards, $20,000 will be reserved to disburse scholarships to four deserving ethnic Indian students pursuing their studies at the four local universities. The Cooperation Agreement was signed with SINDA during the SINDA 2014 Outstanding Achievement Awards Ceremony held in September.

Initiating Landmark Events for SG50 In celebration of Singapore’s Golden Jubilee in 2015, the Chamber initiated two landmark projects of iconic significance to Singapore, these being the SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards and the Special History Exhibition on the Roles and Contributions of SCCCI towards Singapore’s 50 years of Nationbuilding. These initiatives acknowledge and give due recognition to the remarkable spirit and endeavour of Chinese business pioneers and the role played by the Chamber in Singapore’s formative years leading up to the present day. While both the Awards Ceremony and the Special Exhibition will be held in 2015, the groundwork for both projects started early in the year, with the public announcement being made at the end of April.

Representing the Business Community In August, I was sworn in as a Nominated Member of Parliament to represent the interests of the business community. I regard this as a new responsibility of tremendous importance, and I would try my utmost to make viable and constructive suggestions while championing the cause of the business community, especially the SMEs, and ensure that their aspirations, concerns and views are adequately voiced in Parliament.

Acknowledging the Collective Involvement of Government and Businesses The many initiatives and projects we continue to embark on throughout the year could never have been implemented without the involvement of the many individuals, agencies, business entities and friends both locally and overseas. I would like to acknowledge all the efforts of my council members who have worked tirelessly to shoulder the responsibility of their various committees, as well as the support and participation of numerous government agencies, including IE Singapore, SPRING Singapore, IDA, WDA, JTC, amongst others, my associates and peers from fellow Chambers and the foreign missions in Singapore. I am also grateful to have a team of Secretariat staff who are committed to the Chamber’s work, make every effort to ensure the smooth implementation of every project, big or small, and contribute in the endeavour of local enterprises to achieve sustainable growth.

商团课题2

: 商团财政挑战及缺乏运作经费

本会建议

: 政府可考虑扩大PIC现金补贴计划受益群 体，让商团也能受惠；政府可考虑为商团 提供100％津贴，资助商团在推展政府主 导项目、行业发展项目时,秘书处所涉及 的费用。

商团课题3

: 政府机构与商团重复开展类似项目

本会建议

对话会上，蔡其生会长亲自把调查报告和上述反馈建议 提交给贸工部林勋强部长，供政府部门参考。

协助木材、家具、五金和机械业者解决工业用地问题 本会对木材与家具行业的经济增值展开研究，并在今年 2月间把研究结果提呈给裕廊集团。随后，JTC已计划为这两 个行业探讨新的用地方案。其中的设想是实现资源共享，让 业者能减少投资，从而降低他们的商业运作成本。 另一方面，新加坡五金机械公会也在商团午餐会上，向 本会反馈业者在续约土地时面临的挑战。随后，本会也为 五金机械行业展开专项研究，探讨该行业对我国经济的贡 献，并在2014年2月分别向五金机械公会和JTC分享研究结 果。JTC将研究符合五金机械行业新的用地方案。

新山关卡交通费上涨对商界的影响 8月1日起，我国上调外国车辆入境费，马国也在同天正 式调高新山关卡过路费。新马两国一衣带水，商业往来频 繁，与柔佛州的战略关系更是紧密。我国商家担心，调高过 路费将导致经营成本随之上扬，从而影响到新加坡企业的竞 争力。

有鉴于此，经济研究部立即展开《新山关卡过路费上涨 意见调查》，了解关卡交通费上涨对各行业商团会员、商家 带来的具体影响，以及商界采取的应对措施。 8月14日，新马两国中华总商会会长在柔佛州峇株巴辖 举行联席会议。会上，蔡其生会长向马来西亚中华总商会总 会长拿督林国璋局绅、中总成员代表交换意见，分享本会商 团会员、商家对关卡过路费上涨的看法（即：调查结果）。同 天，新马总商会发布联合文告，反映新马商界心声。 8月15日，蔡其生会长主持商团讨论会，了解关卡过路 费上涨对各领域带来的影响。随即，本部门综合整理各行业 商团会员、商家通过上述三大平台（意见调查、新马总商会 联席会议、本会商团讨论会）提供的相关反馈及建议。 本会随后把建议书提呈给贸工部林勋强部长参考，敦促 两国政府共同努力，检讨企业界当前的困境，并尽快解决这 问题。同时，本会也希望我国政府能慎重考虑本会提呈的具 体建议。 根据本会从商团会员、会员商家收集到的反馈显示，过 路费调高将造成交通，商品以及人力成本上涨。受影响群体 当中，以传统行业居多，有不少中小企业将因此面临经营成 本上涨，商家无可避免地会把成本涨幅转嫁给消费者，这将 加重国人，特别是低收入群体的生活费负担。

中小企业意见调查 本会于5月至7月底，展开《总商会中小企业意见 调查》，了解商界的经营展望及挑战、提高生产力的现状、 政府援助计划对企业的帮助，以及企业进军海外的趋势等。

The Chamber hosted its annual National Day Celebration Dinner on August 8 at Orchard Hotel Singapore. Minister for Manpower Tan Chuan Jin graced the event as Guest of Honour. The dinner was attended by 550 distinguished guests, including ambassadors, officials from various government departments, statutory boards and leaders from the business and art communities.

In his National Day message which was screened during the dinner, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong thanked the pioneer generation for their hard work and concerted efforts in driving Singapore’s growth. He called upon students from Polytechnics and ITEs to always engage in learning, citing the ASPIRE Committee, chaired

by MP Indranee Rajah, which is a government effort to assist polytechnic and ITE students to master specialised skills and attain relevant certifications according to their career needs. PM Lee also stressed that to ensure Singapore remains a land of opportunities, Singaporeans should not just judge an individual based on academic qualifications but also look at that individual’s strengths, contributions and character. He highlighted that to improve the living standards, Singapore needs to maintain a growth of 2.5-3.5 per cent in the next ten years. The government will also continue to employ state-of-the-art technology to transform Singapore into a Smart Nation.

In his speech, President Thomas Chua pointed out that the older generation of Chinese entrepreneurs have made earnest efforts to contribute to society besides being preoccupied with their own business interests. In fact, many of these entrepreneurs who had started their business from scratch persevered despite facing a host of difficulties in the early years of industrialisation. As the structure of the Singapore economy continued to change and improve, Chinese entrepreneurs have seized opportunities, adapted to the environment, and moved along with the times. They built up a global business network with Singapore as home base.

总务委员会 GENERAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

President Chua added that the tightly-knit and cohesive Chinese business community has been a pillar of strength in providing mutual help. These selfless contributions of Chinese businessmen have helped the Chamber to continually thrive for more than a century since its establishment.

President Chua also announced that the Chamber would be organising the “SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards” and “Special Exhibition on the Roles and Contributions of the SCCCI towards Singapore’s 50 Years of Nation-building” in celebration of Singapore’s 50th year of independence. Other than paying tribute to Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, it is hoped that these two landmark events could attract the younger generation, especially the young business people, to be actively involved in the community through joining the Chamber and passing on the Chinese entrepreneurial spirit. He believed that this would inspire and encourage the younger generation to learn from the example of their pioneers and conquer new frontiers in the ebullient Asian economy.

While on the topic of SCCIOB’s 30th Anniversary and its activities, President Chua further promised that SCCIOB would continue to assist local enterprises, especially SMEs, to change their business mindsets, embrace modern technology, re-invent workflow, and discover new areas of growth, so as to achieve sustainability for their businesses.

Meritorious Recognitions for the Chamber’s Outstanding Council Members President Thomas Chua Appointed as Nominated Member of Parliament Chamber’s President Thomas Chua was appointed as Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) in August. On August 26, President Chua was formally appointed as NMP at a ceremony in the Istana and sworn into Parliament on September 8. President Chua’s term as NMP will last a period of 2½ years.

Analysing Challenges, Facilitating Communication between the Government and the Business Community

President Chua handed the SCCCI trade association analysis report to Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang during the 3rd Trade Association Congress.

Trade Association Analysis Report

Issue 2: Challenges in finances and lack of working capital

Between the months of January and March this year, SCCCI conducted a survey with 46 of its trade associations to gather their feedback on issues pertaining to the operation and development of their secretariat. The trade associations which were interviewed represented a broad range of economic sectors and have varying membership and secretariat sizes.

The government may consider extending the PIC scheme to trade associations as well. The government may also consider providing 100 per cent support to trade associations in the event that their secretariats need to incur costs to fund government-led industry development projects.

Based on the feedback, the common issues faced by trade associations could be classified into the following four categories with corresponding recommendations from SCCCI:

Government agencies may consider providing resources and grant assistance to trade associations to strengthen their industries. In addition, larger trade associations can assist smaller ones to set up training courses as well as to promote industry development projects.

Issue 1: No premises/high rental issue Government may consider providing a common venue for smaller trade associations. Alternatively, with the support of the government, the larger trade associations can also provide shared facilities and venues for smaller trade associations.

Issue 3: Overlapping initiatives by government agencies

Issue 4: Challenges in secretariat staffing Government/larger trade associations may consider sharing their secretariat staff with smaller trade associations. They can also offer affordable and relevant training courses for secretariat staff of other trade associations.

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

On May 24, SCCCI’s Director for Economic Research Leong Teng Chau presented these findings and recommendations to 400 representatives from government agencies and the business community at SCCCI’s 3rd Trade Association Congress.

At the congress, President Thomas Chua also announced that SCCCI will be providing the following assistance to the local trade associations: •• SCCCI, together with the government, will look into the provision of common premises for trade associations to be located together. SCCCI will adopt a non-profit model in the management of the common premises in order to offer competitive and affordable rental rates to them.

•• Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce Foundation will subsidise trade associations to send their secretariat staff to the Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business to enrol in the Trade Association Management Course.

•• SCCCI will jointly work with trade associations to strengthen their respective industries. In this regard, the Chamber’s Commerce and Industry Department, Economic Research Department, SME Centre@SCCCI, SME Infocomm Resource Centre and its IE-SCCCI Singapore Enterprise Centre will provide relevant assistance to them.

•• SCCCI will launch a new portal known as "SCCCI Connect" to provide an online platform to strengthen its communication with its trade associations as well as to promote cooperation amongst themselves.

During the dialogue, President Chua handed the trade association analysis report with the above recommendations to Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang for the consideration of the relevant government agencies.

Assisting the Timber, Furniture, Metal and Machinery Industries to Overcome their Issue of Expiring Industrial Land Leases The SCCCI researched on the value-added of the local timber and furniture industries and presented its findings to JTC in February 2014. Subsequently, JTC had plans to develop new land use plans for these two industries where businesses will share facilities and resources to reduce initial capital investment and also lower their business operating costs.

The SCCCI also researched on the economic contribution by the metal and machinery industry. It presented its research findings to Singapore Metal and Machinery Association and JTC in February 2014. JTC will further explore a metals & machinery hub for SMEs in the sector.

Assisting Trade Associations and Retailers to Prepare for the Ban on the “Point-of-Sale Display of Tobacco Products” in Stores Before it Comes into Force In order to expand its efforts to curb smoking, the Ministry of Health announced in March that the government will implement the ban on the point-of-sale display of tobacco products before the end of 2016, in order to reduce the opportunity for young people and current smokers to be in contact with cigarettes. After the ban took effect, retailers will not be allowed public display of tobacco products in their cabinets.

研究与出版委员会 RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE

On November 13, the Ministry of Health (MOH), Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and the Health Promotion Board jointly organised a briefing in Mandarin to SCCCI members and tobacco retailers to explain the proposed guidelines of the ban. SCCCI was the supporting organisation for the briefing.

During the briefing, Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong said that the authorities were in the process of developing and refining the specific content of the regulations, as well as soliciting opinions from related industry groups. The industry would be given sufficient lead time to renovate or make related adjustments to their cabinets before the ban takes effect. The authorities also displayed samples of the cabinets which fulfil the new requirements set by MOH at the briefing venue for the retailers to take reference from.

SCCCI President Thomas Chua noted that businesses are facing pressure from rising operating costs. Hence, the government should be in close consultation with business groups and the business community to gather relevant feedback before introducing new policies and regulations so as to reduce their compliance costs.

He said that this particular briefing jointly organised by SCCCI and the Ministry of Health to consult the business community on new regulations was a good example.

A total of 35 representatives from five trade associations attended the briefing. They include: The Federation of Merchants’ Associations Singapore, Kheng Keow Coffee Merchants Restaurants & Bar-Owners Association, Singapore Foochow Coffee Restaurant and Bar Merchants Association, Singapore Provision Shop Friendly Association and Singapore Mini Mart Association.

Looking into Business Issues, Reflecting Feedback from the Business Community Budget 2014 On February 21, the government announced its annual budget statement for the year 2014. It aims to continue to push economic restructuring to enhance Singapore’s economic competitiveness.

In addition, S$8 billion has been pumped into a fund to pay for the “Pioneer Generation Package.” SCCCI released a press statement thereafter which received wide media coverage.

SCCCI was delighted with the government’s response to several of the demands from the business community and that it had adopted some recommendations put forward by SCCCI in its prebudget survey and annual SME survey which include: •• Extension of the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme for another three years till YA 2018 •• Announcement of the enhancement of the Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV) to include the purchase of equipment •• Lengthening the maximum period of employment for foreign workers who are R1 work permit holders from People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Non-Traditional Source (NTS).

At the same time, SCCCI was pleased to note that government agencies such as JTC and HDB would be building a series of

industrial and commercial spaces. We hoped that the government could allocate some of these spaces for the SMEs so that rental rates will continue to be affordable for them.

up operating costs, which would inevitably be passed on to consumers. This would increase the overall cost of living, especially for those in the lower income group.

Impact of Causeway Toll Hikes on the Business Community

SME Survey Between the months of May and July, SCCCI conducted the “SCCCI SME Survey” to understand the business outlook and the challenges faced by the business community, the status of their productivity improvement efforts, take-up rate of government assistance schemes and the trends of enterprises expanding overseas.

The Chamber together with The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) arranged for a joint meeting in Batu Pahat during which SCCCI President Thomas Chua shared the views of the Chamber’s members and businesses on the impact of the Causeway toll.

On August 1, Singapore raised the entry permit fees for foreignregistered vehicles coming into Singapore via the Causeway while Malaysia also raised the toll charges for all vehicles passing through the Johor checkpoint. The local business community expressed great concern about the Causeway toll hikes as it would lead to increased business costs which would in turn affect their competitiveness.

In view of this, the Economic Research Department launched the “Survey on Increased Causeway Toll Charges” to understand the impact of the increase in transportation costs on trade association members and businesses and the counter-measures which they had come up with.

On August 14, SCCCI and The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce & Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) arranged for a joint meeting in Batu Pahat. At the meeting, SCCCI President Thomas Chua shared the views of the Chamber’s members and businesses on the impact of the Causeway toll hikes with ACCCIM President Dato’ Lim Kok Cheong and his council members. On the same day, both Chambers issued a joint statement to reflect the sentiments of the business communities in Singapore and Malaysia.

On August 15, Chamber’s President Thomas Chua hosted a dialogue with trade association members to understand the impact of the Causeway toll hikes on different economic sectors.

Thereafter, the Economic Research Department consolidated the relevant feedback and suggestions provided by the trade association members and businesses via the three platforms (opinion poll, joint meeting with ACCCIM, and the dialogue with trade associations).

SCCCI solicited feedback from a total of 645 enterprises. The total number of companies participating in the survey was 25 per cent higher than in the previous year (516). The respondents came from sectors which include manufacturing, construction and services.

Among them, 97 per cent consisted of SMEs. Key findings of the survey were: 1. More SMEs are taking concrete measures to improve productivity To cope with rising operating costs, up to 90 per cent of companies have taken concrete actions to improve productivity.

Among them, 53 per cent of companies send employees to attend training to upgrade their skills, while 42 per cent of companies leverage on automated equipment and the adoption of information technology to improve productivity.

2. More SMEs are leveraging on government incentives 73 per cent of companies applied for government assistance schemes, a significant increase of 18 per cent compared with the previous year. A total of 65 per cent of the respondents applied for the Productivity and Innovation Credit scheme (PIC), 32 per cent leveraged on training allowance to enhance employee skills, while 16 per cent benefited from Innovation and Capability Vouchers (ICV).

3. More micro-enterprises are catching up in the bid to restructure 86 per cent of micro-enterprises have taken steps to improve productivity, an increase of more than 5 percentage points from the previous year; the proportion of applications for government assistance schemes rose from 45 per cent in the 2013 survey to 59 per cent in the current year. However, the pace of transformation of micro-enterprises is still lagging behind other large enterprises.

4. Top overseas markets for internationalisation: Malaysia, China and Indonesia

SCCCI then submitted the recommendations to the Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang, urging the two governments to work together to look into the difficulties faced by the local business community. At the same time, SCCCI also hoped that our government would take into consideration the specific recommendations that it had submitted.

56 per cent of enterprises plan to internationalise or expand their existing presence in overseas markets. The top destinations identified by respondents for overseas investments were Malaysia, China and Indonesia.

According to feedback from SCCCI members, the toll hikes would increase the costs of transport, raw materials and labour. Among the businesses affected, most were from the traditional industries.

Many SMEs expressed concern that the toll hikes would drive

83 per cent of SMEs face the pressure of rising operating costs, while 46 per cent face the risk of declining profits. According to the survey, staff salaries, land and commercial rentals are key factors for rising operating costs.

5. More companies are facing the challenge of rising operating costs

新加坡中华总商会 • 2014年常年报告书 SINGAPORE CHINESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • ANNUAL REPORT 2014

On August 20, SCCCI President Thomas Chua announced the survey findings at the opening ceremony of the 16th Annual SMEs Conference.

Opportunities from ASEAN Economic Community Given Singapore’s small market, many SMEs have plans to expand their businesses overseas. The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), with its huge market of 625 million people, member countries with high growth rates and a growing middle class consumer group, presents immense opportunities. After the AEC is formed in 2015, the free flow of goods, services, investment, skilled labour and capital will allow ASEAN member countries to achieve regional economic integration and deepen trade and cooperation amongst them.

In October, SCCCI researched on the opportunities that AEC would present to our businesses, especially the SMEs. With the gradual reduction and abolition of barriers of entry for investments from ASEAN member countries, SCCCI urged businesses to be prepared to seize the opportunities created by the AEC and also to tap on government assistance schemes to expand their businesses in ASEAN. The research provided timely and effective reference for the “ASEAN Economic Community Seminar” held in early December.

The research report which was also published in Chinese Enterprise served as a good reference for the business community.

Pre-Budget Survey 2015 The SCCCI Pre-Budget Survey was conducted over an 11-week period from September 15 and elicited response from 356 companies. Among the survey participants, 96.7 per cent were from SMEs; 92.6 per cent of the respondents represented decisionmakers of their respective companies.

Based on feedback from the SCCCI’s Pre-Budget 2015 Survey, SCCCI urged the government to consider the following five recommendations to help businesses overcome their challenges in 2015 and beyond: •• Further widen coverage of PIC and ICV, and shorten the disbursement process •• Arrest further cost increases in foreign worker policy or tightening of quota, and offer medical and insurance subsidies to encourage the hiring of older Singaporean workers aged 55 and above •• Engage in more consultation with trade associations or businesses before introducing new government policies to ease compliance costs •• Provide targeted funding for SMEs to venture into the ASEAN market to seize opportunities arising from the impending single ASEAN market in 2015 •• Urge government-linked companies/large corporations to create more project opportunities for SMEs’ involvement to help SMEs build track records

While results of the SCCCI’s Pre-Budget Survey show encouraging signs that more companies are taking concrete measures to improve productivity, they still face many challenges. One example is that companies which have taken the positive step to invest in automation and equipment with the support of productivity schemes are being strapped by cash flow problems due to the lengthy and protracted grant disbursement process.

To give a boost to businesses in their productivity effort, SCCCI urged the government to widen the coverage of PIC and ICV. As trade associations and chambers (TACs) are regarded by the government as important channels to help industries transform, SCCCI recommended that PIC be extended to TACs as they need to upgrade their capabilities in tandem with this role. Where appropriate, TACs could also use PIC to support the purchase of machinery/equipment which could be commonly used by their members.

Seminars and Events Post-Budget Seminar On February 21, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam delivered the annual government budget statement for 2014. In order to allow members and businessmen to better understand how the budget measures would impact their businesses, SCCCI jointly organised a “2014 Budget Highlights” seminar in English with KPMG on March 14.

Also present were Vice-Chairman of the Commerce & Industry Committee Philip Kia, Research & Publications Committee member Ang Fung Fung, representatives from SPRING Singapore as well as 80 representatives from the business community.

KPMG partner Mak Oi Leng and Tan Boon Ngee focused on the new measures which were introduced in the budget including: the extension of the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) scheme by another three years, the introduction of the new PIC + scheme, expanding the use of Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV), and the introduction of the new land intensification allowance.

SME Survey Roundtable Discussion On September 3, the Economic Research Department organised an “SME Survey” roundtable discussion. Eight council members were invited to share the survey results as well as industry and business feedback. They were exclusively interviewed by reporters from Lianhe Zaobao. SCCCI also shared the survey results on other media platforms and received wide coverage.

The chairman for the roundtable discussion was Vice-President Lau Tai San. The other council members present include: Commerce & Industry Committee Chairman Ang Kiam Meng, Vice-Chairman Philip Kia, Vice-Chairman Thomas Pek, Trade Association & Membership Affairs Committee Vice-Chairman

Voo Soon Sang, Council Member Pang Lim, Council Member Yeo Hiang Meng and Council Member Annie Gan. They shared the challenges being faced by the industry in the process of economic restructuring. At the end of the discussion, VP Lau presented the four recommendations on behalf of SCCCI: 1. The need for SMEs to continue improving productivity in order to achieve results Productivity improvement is an ongoing effort that has gained momentum. In the next phase of productivity drive, government and TACs can help SMEs to sustain the effort to achieve the intended results and business outcome.

2. Provide affordable business premises JTC and HDB should continue to make available sufficient industrial and commercial space for SMEs so that rentals can be kept affordable.

3. Consult businesses and trade associations closely in the policy-making process Frequent introduction of new policy measures creates administrative burden and increases compliance costs for SMEs. Government should engage businesses and TACs closely to take into account their impact on businesses.

4. More effort to help SMEs build track records

Forging Singapore-China Relations for Over a Century

Council members and secretariat staff in a celebratory mood after the Chamber received the Business China Enterprise Award, marking another remarkable milestone in the Chamber’s history.

Business China Enterprise Award 2014 On November 18, the Chamber was presented with the Business China Enterprise Award in recognition of being one of the pivotal points of trade, business and relational contacts between Singapore and China. Chamber’s President Thomas Chua received the award from Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, Guest of Honour at the Awards ceremony, on behalf of the Chamber.

DPM Teo commended the Chamber on its singular efforts in building linkages with China and singled out the IE-SCCCI Singapore Enterprise Centre in Shanghai established in November 2013 and its role in helping our SMEs develop essential market contacts, competencies and knowledge in China.

President Thomas Chua, in his acceptance speech, expressed his appreciation to all who had supported the Chamber in achieving this milestone and declared that receiving the Business China Enterprise Award truly encourages the Chamber to strive even harder at furthering the business and trade cooperation between Singapore and China.

Honouring our Business Pioneers SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards The landmark event that was initiated by the External Relations Committee during the year was the SG50 Outstanding Chinese Business Pioneers Awards. These SG50 Awards serve to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of Chinese business pioneers – who journeyed together with the nation, and whose contributions and influence were an integral part of the making of Singapore as a nation. These Chinese business pioneers and veterans will receive these awards not only for the accomplishments in the corporate world but for their contributions to the social and cultural development of Singapore.

At the same time, it was hoped that the example of these Chinese Business Pioneers would serve as an inspiration to the younger generations of Singaporeans as well as to the SMEs, and help them understand the tremendous efforts that have been expended by this group of veterans in flying the Singapore flag. These examples would hopefully sow the seed for them to strive for success and contribute to the current and future development of Singapore.

Minister Lim Hng Kiang (left) and President Thomas Chua (right) discussed on the challenges faced by Trade Associations during the dialogue.

SCCCI 3rd Trade Association Congress On May 24, the Chamber held the 3rd Trade Association Congress at its Auditorium, revolving under the theme of “Partnership for Innovation and Growth”. This is also the first time the Congress, which was attended by around 400 participants, featured a sharing session by invited speakers from two overseas Trade Associations.

Representatives from SPRING Singapore, International Enterprise (IE) Singapore and Jurong Town Corporation (JTC), and many government officials also attended the Congress. Minister for Trade and Industry Lim Hng Kiang graced the event as Guest of Honour, and Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck attended the event as Special Guest.

During his speech, President Chua encouraged Trade Associations to learn from the experiences of both local and overseas associations, expanding their industry value chains with new

technology, staying united to overcome challenges, and explore overseas markets collectively. He also recommended trade association members to participate in the new interactive portal– SCCCI Connect, to share business information and business opportunities, and to fully utilise this new platform to strengthen mutual linkages.

Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck encouraged Trade Associations to work together, leading their respective industries to continue tapping on the government’s support, to help their members’ businesses move up the value chain, and make a big difference in driving innovation and productivity.

The first half of the event featured a sharing session by the invited speakers from overseas trade associations–David Chang, Vice-President of the National Association of Small and Medium Enterprises Taiwan, and Li King Hi, Honorary Chairman of the

This was followed by a dialogue with Minister Lim Hng Kiang who said that Singapore is expected to grow at a rate of 2 to 4 per cent in the coming months, around half the growth compared to the previous decade, adding that it is a must to increase productivity in order for Singapore to continue with its growth. He also stressed that the government needs the support of trade associations and hoped to work more closely with them in identifying and managing the various issues faced by the different industries today.

While Trade Associations agree that economic restructuring is necessary, it was also noted that economic restructuring would impose great pressure on SMEs due to the lack of funds and staffing issues. During the dialogue with Minister, Trade Association representatives raised problems they face such as secretariat operations, manpower training, high rental costs, shortage of manpower, amongst others, and hoped relevant government agencies would look into their issues.

Members’ Nite The Chamber organised its annual Members’ Nite on February 22 to celebrate the New Year and to strengthen the friendship and cooperation among the Chamber’s interest groups, namely the Young Entrepreneurs Network (YEN), Career Women’s Group (CWG), Mandarin Singing Class and Toastmasters Club.

In his speech, President Thomas Chua called upon more successful career women to run for the Chamber’s council elections. He urged them to use the Chamber as another platform to develop their strengths while contributing to the society.

Minister Grace Fu encouraged enterprises to come up with policies that would help to increase the ratio of females serving in director or upper management roles. While she noted that China had already started the Women’s Liberation Movement during Sun Yat Sen’s era, and there was a saying that “women held up half the sky” during Mao Zedong’s time, she regrettably acknowledged that Singapore was still lacking in assisting females to excel at the workforce. She highlighted that for women to develop their career further, they first need their family to share the familial responsibility. Enterprises can provide support to female employees with children by adopting a more flexible approach in employing and managing them, as well as providing them with opportunities for training and development. Similarly, the government will continue to implement policies to support women in the workforce.

The five guest speakers at the event included Li Wei (Chairman, Fenglan Industrial Co Ltd), Jennifer Li (Chief Financial Officer, Baidu), Sabrina Tan (Founder & CEO, Skin Inc), Melissa Kwee (Director, Pontiac Land) and Pat Law (Founder, GOODSTUPH). The main takeaway message was that support from family and team, rather than individual strengths, played the most important role in success.

Addressing a crowd of 350 participants, President Thomas Chua said that since Singapore and China initiated the very first milestone project in the Suzhou Industrial Park, both countries have accumulated a wealth of experience and established mutual rapport over the years. Thereafter, other similar projects have been established in Tianjin Eco-City, Guangzhou Knowledge City, China-Singapore Jilin Food Zone, Singapore-Sichuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park and Sino-Singapore Nanjing Eco Hi-Tech Island.

The collaborative projects between our two countries now exist across the whole of China, from the East to the West and North to the South. Besides reducing competition, each project with its unique characteristics attracts different types of industries, providing a greater variety of industrial parks for Singapore enterprises keen on expanding into China. President Chua also likened these six projects to six mega cruise ships sailing in the vast oceans of the China market. If SMEs wish to reduce problems of navigating the China market, they can certainly utilise the advantages and conducive conditions of these huge liners.

Since China’s emergence as a strong market economy, it has captured the attention of many overseas businesses. However, as the competition stiffened, the cost of doing business has also increased in recent years. On this note, President Chua encouraged SMEs keen on breaking into the China market to work together as a team, supporting each other, pooling resources to overcome their limitations on resources. SMEs should also leverage on the platforms and resources created by the Singapore-China flagship projects. He added that the one-stop centre in Shanghai jointly initiated by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore and the SCCCI would also provide a full suite of advisory services to the SMEs. The forum consisted of two panel sessions.

Embracing Innovation, Inspiring Change

Minister for Communications and Information Dr Yaacob Ibrahim (third from right) and Chamber’s President Thomas Chua (third from left) being served by a robot during a tour of the SME Expo.

16th Annual SMEs Conference, 17th Infocomm Commerce Conference and SME Expo 2014 Faced with recurring and pertinent issues of rising costs, manpower shortage, insufficient cash flow, the constant quest to increase productivity and an ever-challenging business environment, SMEs need to look out for new business opportunities and business strategies for growth to stay competitive. The Technology Committee together with the Commerce & Industry Committee jointly organised its annual flagship event under the theme “Transforming SME 1.0 to SME 2.0: Recalibrate. Reload. Renew”.

The conference attracted 4,700 SME representatives who came forward to network with leading business experts and attain latest business knowledge to transform their businesses.

At the opening ceremony on August 20, Chamber President Thomas Chua shared the findings of the SME Survey conducted by the Chamber. He also mentioned that the conference has arranged for many special discussion topics in both Mandarin and English tracks over the two days. Participants could choose their

own areas of interest and subjects, and learn from them based on their companies’ needs. He ended his speech with a Chinese idiom “If everyone helps to collect firewood, the fire will burn even more brightly“, and assured that on the path of economic restructuring, the Chamber always acts as the refuelling station for its member companies.

Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Communications and Information, pointed out that SMEs comprise 99 per cent of the local companies, contribute nearly half of the national GDP and employ more than 60 per cent of the workforce. He communicated the government’s vision to be the world’s first Smart Nation and that SMEs will also stand to benefit in terms of business opportunities and the role SMEs will play in the joint development and delivery of services to citizens and communities. At the same time, he announced that the $500 million Infocomm Technology (ICT) for Productivity and Growth (IPG) programme would go live that very day. Under this scheme, approved ICT vendors will apply for the grant on behalf of the SMEs and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) will reimburse the vendors directly.

Reaching Out to Micro-enterprises through Business Advisory

Prime Minster Lee Hsien Loong (centre) taking a picture together with SCCCI President Thomas Chua (left) and SCCCI Immediate Past President Teo Siong Seng after visiting the SME Centre@SCCCI booth at the SBF SME Convention 2014.

Reaching Out to Micro-enterprises 2014 was a year of accomplishment for SME Centre@SCCCI (“The Centre”) in meeting its objectives to help micro-enterprises overcome challenges and achieve business growth. In 2014, the Centre provided advisory services to over 4,200 SMEs, a 50 per cent increase compared to 2013.

Advisory sessions for the PIC, ICV and Increase SME Productivity with Infocomm Adoption & Transformation (iSPRINT) schemes were the most popular grant consultations requested by SMEs. The Centre also experienced a surge in interest for advice in developing in-house training capabilities, upgrading skills of employees and other Human Resource related issues where schemes like the Enterprise Training Support, WorkPro, and Workplace Health promotion were introduced.

In April, the Centre opened its second satellite centre–SME Centre@ Ang Mo Kio (SME Centre@AMK) at Ang Mo Kio Community Centre

which aims to provide hand-holding services to assist heartland SMEs in tapping on grants to help improve productivity and increase sales. Through concerted efforts by both satellite centres, the Centre reached out to a myriad of micro-enterprises in the heartlands covering food stores, traditional Chinese medicine stores, hair salons and bakeries through assistance rendered by both satellite offices.

Strengthening Strategic Partnerships The Centre strengthened strategic partnerships with various private and public organisations in order to provide holistic advisory services to better address the needs and pressing business issues that are of concern to the SMEs.

新加坡中华总商会中小企业中心 SME CENTRE@SCCCI PTE LTD

In 2014, over 80 outreach events were organised in joint efforts with trade associations, government agencies, professional consultancy, legal and technology companies. These efforts enabled the Centre to provide practical sharing on how businesses can benefit from the adoption of good business practices, innovation, technology and capability development with government assistance schemes.
