Li Ka Shing gives Singapore a thumbs-up

[Ringo33]

ASIA'S richest man Li Ka Shing has compared the two cities of Hong Kong and Singapore, saying that Singapore - spurred by its lack of resources - has relentlessly sought to reinvent and upgrade itself. By contrast, Hong Kong is "like a spoilt child", with populism on the rise.
It has to step up its game and sharpen its competitive edge, said the 85-year-old property tycoon.
In an interview with mainland Chinese news website Caixin published on Thursday, Mr Li outlined what he thinks are the differences between the two cities - traditionally pitted as rivals - when responding to a question on how Hong Kong should encourage innovation.

LI KA SHING QUOTES.

Be prepared for rainy days. No matter how well you’re doing, you’ve got to be prepared.

Knowledge changes fate.

Knowledge is not a guarantee of a life of riches but it does open the door to more opportunities.
