6:16 mins
Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.
A new work pass will be launched next year for top-tier foreign professionals and experts looking to start businesses, lead corporate teams or teach here, in a bid to woo these people to Singapore and develop its high-potential tech ecosystem.
The Big Story hosts Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay speak with OCBC Bank's chief economist Selena Ling as she gives her take on Singapore's strategy to grow its tech sector, as well as the implications this pass will have for local hiring.
