Speaking at the 7^th Ho Rih Hwa Leadership in Asia Public Lecture organised by SMU, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said that the way for Singapore to achieve the higher end of its economic growth forecast is to boost its productivity. He said that productivity has to be improved in the coming decade; and the issue of a rapidly ageing population has to be tackled. He also pointed out that as Singapore progresses, globalisation might dissolve the Singaporean identity.
