He also commented that Singapore has a competitive edge in the field of management, and that SMU should be known as ?Asia-Pacific Cities Management School'. He said that Asian cities need to modernise, as modernisation is the highest form of achievement of civilization ? Singapore must have the courage to lead the various Asia-Pacific cities in this endeavour.
