Singapore's taking action to prevent the kind of mass layoffs we've been seeing hit financial institutions globally. The government's partnering with major private employers to ramp up tech skills training across the workforce. It's a strategic move—as automation and AI reshape finance, the talent gap is real. By getting ahead of the curve with upskilling programs, Singapore's hoping to ease the transition and keep employment stable while the industry evolves. Interesting to see how governments are responding to tech disruption in traditional finance.

Singapore's recent moves are indeed impressive, but on the other hand, how many problems can training really solve?

Singapore's move is quite interesting; taking the initiative is definitely better than being passively attacked.

Singapore's move is indeed clever, but to be honest, can upskilling really keep up with the speed of AI... It still feels like treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

This move in Singapore is really quite clever, retraining people before the big layoffs, at least it doesn't seem as harsh.

Singapore's move here is quite good; planning ahead is always better than scrambling at the last minute.

Singapore has something up its sleeve; at least it's not lying flat and waiting to die like in some countries.

This move in Singapore is quite practical. Instead of waiting to be laid off, it's better to learn new skills in advance. Although it sounds great, how many people can actually successfully switch careers...

Singapore's move is indeed clever. They started recruiting and training people before the fintech storm fully hits, which is much smarter than countries that are passively laying off employees.

Singapore's move is quite clever; securing positions in advance prevents mass unemployment.
