Whatever it is the economy slowing down is due to 2 reasons manufacturing moving out to cheaper places like Vietnam and also the trade war resulting in a strong and expensive sgd...however part of it will be offset by the huge increase in tourism becos many people are coming to sg and thai and oz becos of the hk riots...all in it's a year of change...contrary to believe there isn't really a manufacturing sector in SG most of the time near completed products are sent here and most of it gets packaged and stamped with the made in sg words...what the cs could have done better is have an internal memo reassuring the staff of a confirmed release date and there will be some form of bonus paid..many industries pegged their bonus to the cs as well...all in it's a terrible handling of staff welfare imho
