The news:
- Two Singapore politicians announced separately today that they will be joining the tech industry.
- Minister of State Teo Ser Luck will leave his post to “build, create, invest, or help” startups, both in tech and non-tech.
- Member of Parliament Tin Pei Ling will stop being a full-time politician to join local tech investment firm Jing King Tech as its group director of corporate strategy. Both will continue to serve as Members of Parliament.
Why it matters:
- Tech startups continue to go mainstream as more civil servants, investment bankers, and consultants join the fold in Singapore.
- This shift bolsters Singapore’s ambition of wanting to become a top innovation hub.
