Did you know Singapore once had many state-owned companies, much like China does today? Many people are surprised to learn that during the 1960s and 1970s, Singapore played a very active role in building key industries and state-linked enterprises to lay the foundation for our economy.

In this week's The Business Pulse, I explore the similarities, the differences, and the most important lesson they share. The biggest takeaway? Success isn't about copying others. It's about learning, adapting, and evolving. Read the full article and let me know what you think.
