Hong Kong and Singapore Can Learn From Each Other in New Era, Li Ka-shing Says

What’s new: Hong Kong and Singapore can learn from each other as they share many similarities and are stepping into a new phase, Chinese billionaire Li Ka-shing said via a video link earlier this week.

Both are legendary cities, as Hong Kong transitioned from a fishing port to a financial center, while Singapore evolved from a harbor to an international metropolis, Li told the Asia Future Summit, an event marking the 100th birth anniversary of Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s late founding prime minister.
