Singapore to increase pool of early adopters in AI to complement data scientists, engineers
Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo (right) spoke with Clay Chandler, executive editor of Asia at Fortune Magazine, on day one of the Fortune Brainstorm AI conference. SINGAPORE – Singapore plans to nurture an intrepid pool of artificial intelligence (AI) users to complement the data scientists and machine learning engineers it is currently training to take the nation into the digital future. 'We're talking about people who are in the professions – lawyers, accountants, doctors – who will become the early adopters of AI and then they show their peers how to make better use of it,' said Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo on July 22, the first day of the Fortune Brainstorm AI conference at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore. Mrs Teo was detailing how small states can develop their AI strategy to compete on a global stage dominated by large nations such as the United States and China, during a fireside chat entitled 'Beyond scale: How small nations can lead in the age of AI'. The pool of AI users will have to far exceed the 15,000 AI practitioners that Singapore already aims to nurture and hire, she said. She noted that the nation's workforce numbers about 3.5 million, including those in manufacturing, healthcare and financial services. 'They can demonstrate how (AI) can create more value for their organisations,' said Mrs Teo, adding that more details on equipping the workforce with AI skills will be announced in the future. The minister was responding to a question from Fortune magazine's executive editor of Asia Clay Chandler about manpower development, as part of a larger dialogue on how Singapore is distinguishing its AI strategy on the global stage as a small island state. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed. Singapore Singaporeans aged 21 to 59 can claim $600 SG60 vouchers from July 22 Singapore Singaporeans continue to hold world's most powerful passport in latest ranking Singapore Woman evacuated from lift in Supreme Court building after falling glass triggers emergency halt Asia Malaysian aide's unresolved 2009 death tests govt's reform pledge despite DAP chief's apology Singapore Prosecution says judge who acquitted duo of bribing ex-LTA official had copied defence arguments Singapore Singapore not affected by haze despite smoke plumes in Sumatra: NEA Singapore Miscalculation of MOH subsidies and grants led to $7m in overpayments, $2m in shortfalls Singapore Ports and planes: The 2 Singapore firms helping to keep the world moving Plans to triple Singapore's talent pool of AI practitioners to 15,000 were first announced in December 2023. The group includes data and machine-learning scientists and engineers who are the backbone in translating AI into real-world apps. Mrs Teo also said small states can find their own niche to compete in a fast-changing market. In January 2025, China's DeepSeek launched its generative AI model that the start-up claimed cost only US$5.6 million (S$7.2 million) to train. This is a fraction of the hundreds of millions US tech giants have poured into training their large language models (LLMs). Since then, Chinese tech leaders have contributed to the market with several low-cost AI services. Said Mrs Teo: 'From the perspective of bringing down costs, innovations such as DeepSeek are very much welcome.' Citing how Singapore found its niche in a language model it developed for the region, she said there is room for innovation even for small states. 'I would also say this whole dynamic is not necessarily only a competitive one, it is also mutually reinforcing,' she said, referring to home-grown invention Sea-Lion. Developed by AI Singapore, Sea-Lion was trained on 13 languages including Javanese, Sudanese, Malay, Tamil, Thai and Vietnamese, as well as English and Chinese. 'We know that large-language models that are trained primarily on a Western will have difficulties being applied in the South-east Asian context,' said Mrs Teo. 'If you built AI tools on top of these LLMs that didn't incorporate the kind of data that can be found in our part of the world, naturally, the quality and the way it performs and responds to prompts, will perhaps not meet the requirements of Singapore as well as our neighbouring countries.' She added: 'Many companies, when they are thinking about how they can develop for example, chat assistance that could be useful in our context, they would use a combination of both.' Sea-Lion has been tapped by some businesses for its language features, with Indonesia's GoTo Group among the first enterprises to adopt it as a base to build its own AI system. Singapore's space to innovate is expanded when factors such as ways to bring down costs and how AI models can complement each other are considered, said Mrs Teo. Singapore will also continue to engage all countries to build bilateral foundations and make headway in new technological fields, said Mrs Teo. She said this in response to a question from Mr Chandler about how the country can maintain a stance that is strategically unaligned amidst growing tensions between US and China. She cited the country's dialogue with the US on critical and emerging technologies, and a dialogue with China on digital policy. She added: 'They cover different areas of interest that we mutually believe are important for our own countries, but it doesn't prevent us from seeking to understand each other's concerns better, and continuing to find ways to move forward. 'With ASEAN countries, even if we are not ready to move into the era of standards in AI governance, there's nothing to prevent us from agreeing on what the ethical principles could look like first.'

CIMB Group expects to grow its Singapore business, tapping its hub role in Asean, says CEO
Find out what's new on ST website and app. - Malaysian lender CIMB Group anticipates growth in its Singapore operations in the coming years, said its chief executive, citing the city-state's status as a wealth and treasury hub in Asean. Singapore accounted for 14 per cent of the banking group's profit before tax in the first quarter of 2025, up from 11 per cent in the same period a year earlier. Speaking at a media briefing on July 21 at CIMB's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur , group CEO Novan Amirudin said: 'We envisage this percentage to grow over the next five, six years because of the role that Singapore plays today within the Asean market. It's clearly been a very successful wealth centre and we have also been beneficiaries of that.' 'Singapore has also been an established treasury centre. A lot of multinational companies or regional companies are using Singapore as their hub to manage treasuries,' he said, adding that the bank sees the Republic as an important wealth and treasury hub to connect the wider Asean business. CIMB is Malaysia's second-largest lender and South-east Asia's fifth-largest banking group by assets. Mr Amirudin said the bank has been very active in the Singapore market, catering to a range of clients, from individual consumers in retail banking to large corporations in corporate banking. He noted that CIMB needs to find its niche in each market, such as selling to certain segments and sharpening its focus, rather than trying to be a more universal player. Mr Victor Lee, who is CEO of CIMB Singapore and oversees growth markets Thailand and Cambodia, said CIMB's strategy in the Singapore market is to be a niche, challenger bank. 'We don't bank with every segment of the population, but in the niches we choose to play in,' he said. For instance, the bank said it makes it easier for Malaysians living in Singapore to remit money home by offering attractive exchange rates. Between 2020 and 2024, it saw a sixfold increase in Singapore dollar-Malaysia ringgit transaction volumes and threefold growth in its Malaysian customer base in Singapore. Bancassurance partnerships – where an insurer sells its products to a bank's customers – have also been a key part of its growth strategy, particularly in expanding its consumer and commercial banking segments. The bank offers customers the option to choose from seven leading insurance partners, ensuring they meet their unique needs and goals. 'This is especially important for our affluent clients who are focused on wealth preservation and legacy planning,' Mr Lee said. He added that the Singapore business is seeing strong momentum in personal loans and financing for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), driven by targeted propositions and competitive offerings. Consumer loans for Singapore grew 3.7 per cent year on year in the first quarter of 2025. CIMB saw that existing frameworks for sustainability-linked financing were often too complex or costly due to carbon accounting and verification. As a result, it responded with an SME sustainability-linked loan and financing programme in 2024 that makes the enrolment process fully digital and simplified. The bank further seeks to support firms, especially data centre players, that are expanding in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) with banking and advisory solutions. 'The largest sector that has been receiving a lot of foreign direct investment and a lot of mentions is the data centres. So we, as a large player, have also been announcing a lot of... data centre deals,' Mr Amirudin said. In April, CIMB announced RM10 billion (S$3.04 billion) financing to drive economic integration and capture cross-border opportunities in the JS-SEZ. The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, set to be completed by the end of 2026, is expected to significantly boost the movement of people on both sides of the border. This increased connectivity will likely spur substantial development in real estate and surrounding businesses in the areas, he added. The bank has been responding to challenges posed by economic uncertainties. Mr Amirudin said the lender has built a moat from non-interest income businesses, even as central banks in Asia cut interest rates and net interest margins (NIMs) have been declining. Banks may see their NIMs squeezed when interest rates are low or falling, as the difference between what they earn on loans and what they pay on deposits narrows. He said: ' Thirty per cent of our income comes from non-interest income. It comes from fees, it comes from FX, it comes from payments, it comes from advisory fees. And this is an area that CIMB has been extremely active in and forms a critical part of our Forward30 plan to increase our proportion of income that comes from non-interest income.' Forward30 is a six-year road map launched in March to accelerate growth and future-proof the organisation. 'So despite a potential decline in interest income, an increase in non-interest income could mitigate some of that.' The bank has further taken steps to strengthen its financial position, such as reducing its risk profile and credit losses, said Mr Amirudin. 'We have reconstituted our portfolio over the last few years. We've exited businesses that were very hard to operate. We've reduced our risk profile, we've reduced our credit losses, we've increased our coverage ratio.' 'We are in a good place and that would be one more area that can help the financial statement,' he said. In the first quarter, CIMB reported a low proportion of loans at risk, with less than 3 per cent of its total loan book tied to trade and limited direct exposure to the US market, with less than 0.4 per cent of its customers deriving more than 20 per cent of their revenue from the US.

Instead of being a universal bank across Asean, CIMB wants to have a niche in each market, says group CEO
[KUALA LUMPUR] CIMB wants to find its niche in each of the markets it is in, instead of trying to serve every customer segment across Asean, said group chief executive officer Novan Amirudin. The Malaysian lender positions itself as an Asean-focused bank and has operations in 10 markets globally. As one of the largest banks in Malaysia, it has the scale to serve the full spectrum of customers, but it cannot do this elsewhere. By doubling down on its strengths in its other markets, Novan expects this will help boost the return on equity (ROE) of the bank. 'We're looking at sharpening our focus in (each market) to improve our returns as a niche player, rather than trying to be a more universal player,' he said at the bank's media day on Monday (Jul 21). The event was held at CIMB's headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. For example, Singapore serves as a wealth and treasury hub for the bank to connect to the wider Asean region. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up In Indonesia, Novan is positive on the growth of its Islamic banking business, given that penetration for the segment is low, despite the country having a large Muslim population. Thailand and Cambodia serve as strong centres for its cross-border wholesale segments. 'If you look at Thailand closely, there are very niche players who are so focused on certain segments … and they are making that double-digit ROE,' Novan said. In Vietnam and the Philippines, CIMB operates only as a digital bank, despite holding a full banking licence. In particular, the bank has chosen to partner e-commerce players in the Philippines to scale faster, as expanding organically on its own is 'extremely difficult' due to the large incumbents in the market. Focusing on its strengths in the individual markets can help the bank better allocate its resources to grow, especially in times of uncertainty. 'We operate in all these different jurisdictions based on how we can contribute to customers and societies in that particular market. If we cannot play a meaningful role, then we'd need to find a different angle for us to play a meaningful role,' he said. 'We then need to reallocate that capital somewhere else, where we can generate better returns – and there are many opportunities for us,' he added. This is also part of the lender's six-year growth plan – called Forward30 – that it launched in March, to accelerate growth and future-proof the organisation. The plan has four main strategies: to optimise and reallocate capital, build its deposit franchise to reduce cost of funds, improve cross-selling at the bank, and increase productivity and efficiency. By 2030, CIMB aims to be among the top three in net promoter score, in the top quartile for ROE among its regional peers, to have a current and savings account ratio of 45 per cent, a non-interest income ratio of between 33 and 34 per cent, and a cost-to-income ratio in the low 40 per cent. Tariff uncertainty Novan noted that the bank's strategy would enable it to mitigate some impact from US tariff policies. While the exact impact of the tariffs is still unknown, he expects it will cause economic slowdown, which does not bode well for the bank's loan growth. But focusing on non-interest income can offset the decline in interest income. Becoming more operationally efficient can also reduce costs, and the bank has worked to reduce its risk profile. 'Tariffs are one factor that would impact a company's and a bank's financials, but it's how we then choose to play with the different levers to offset that situation that is the important part,' he said.
