Singapore is said to be one of the most high efficient country in the world. However after I came, I found even though people here seem quite pressed, their personal efficiencies are not as high as we hoped. However how can Singapore make a good productivity? I think the answer is the good policy and operation system. Market of Singapore are rather mature and developed, so the officers and engineers can just focus on their job and every part of the production system goes well. The Singapore government is quite honest and tidy, each one follows the manual and principle to finish their task and the society runs well. Now we are focusing on the productivity of personal worker, I think it is very wise and Singapore can come up with some policies to improve the efficiency and will gain a lot from this action.

    Singapore is renowned as a nation of high efficiency. To explain this phenomena, Wendy's opinion offered inspirational idea. It is regulation that gives rise to effective operation and outstanding productivity. Moreover, Singapore aims to accomplish further. According to this piece of news, the government plan to enhance the productivity of individual worker.The message is clear: it is good to work harder, but better to work smarter. Admired as one of the Asian dragons, Singapore would achieve more under the guidance of this new policy.
