SINGAPORE - The government has invited Singaporean businessmen to bid for projects under its new infrastructure investment programme.

The government is preparing to submit a bill which would authorise borrowing of up to 2.2 trillion baht to finance infrastructure programmes over the next seven years.

Up to 90% of the projects would involve rail infrastructure.

    I particularly like the government invite for Singapore schools to set up sister schools in Thailand. The AEC by 2016 will break down lots of barriers for the education industry to move outwards, like it or not. So the pro-active approach is appropriate. The Singapore private schools will be enticed to move and another revenue base. At the moment, there are so many Thai kids studying in Singapore and burden for families. Having Singapore schools with their high standards will be a boon for parents, country and an investment opportunities for Singapore. Win win for all.
