Section A: Source-Based Case Study

Theme: Being Part of a Globalised World
Focus: Economic Impacts and Responses to Globalisation

Study Sources A to D and answer the questions that follow.

Source A
An excerpt from a speech by the Minister for Trade and Industry, 2022.

"Singapore’s economy is small and open. We have no natural resources, so our survival depends on our connectivity to the world. Globalisation has allowed us to attract Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) that bring investment, technology, and high-quality jobs. For instance, the biomedical manufacturing sector, driven by global demand, now contributes significantly to our GDP. While some critics argue that globalisation leads to job insecurity, the reality is that it creates more opportunities than it destroys. Our challenge is not to stop globalisation, but to ensure our workforce is equipped with the skills to seize these new opportunities. We must remain open to remain relevant."

Source B
A cartoon published in a local online news portal, 2023.

[Image Description: A worker is standing on a small island labeled 'Local Jobs'. Large waves labeled 'Global Competition' and 'Automation' are crashing against the island. The worker is holding a sign that says 'Retrain Me!' while looking anxiously at a large ship labeled 'MNCs' sailing away in the distance.]

Source C
An interview with Mr. Tan, a 45-year-old former manufacturing executive, published in a community blog, 2023.

"I lost my job last year when my company moved its production line to Vietnam to cut costs. They said it was 'global restructuring.' I have been trying to find a new job for six months, but most employers want younger staff who are familiar with the latest digital tools. I feel left behind. The government offers courses, but they are often too basic or not relevant to my experience. Globalisation might be good for the country’s GDP, but for people like me, it feels like a threat. We need more than just advice; we need real support to transition."

Source D
Data table from the Ministry of Manpower, 2023.
