As reported by Channelnewsasia.com, the meeting conducted by the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME), the small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) discussed the complexities of the various schemes, as well as how fast they could get their money approved under the Productivity and Innovation Credit scheme. The government expects to reduce the dependence on foreign workers, but this issue was not directly raised at the ASME conference.
