Singapore aims to have 40% of working-age persons with disabilities employed by 2030, up from about 30 per cent between 2020 and 2021.

The goal was set out in the fourth and latest road map, launched on Wednesday (Aug 17), to support PWDs and enable them to contribute to society.

The Enabling Masterplan 2030 also laid out initiatives for employers that would move the country towards this goal over the next eight years.

In The Straits Times’ The Big Story, Multimedia Journalist Hairianto Dirman spoke with J R Karthik, CEO of social service agency AWWA to weigh in on the initiatives.

Singapore stocks declined at the opening bell this morning, tracking subdued overnight performance in the US market. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) shed 0.4 per cent to 3,287.81 points after 29.8 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have UOB, after the lender posted a net profit of S$1.49 billion for its first quarter ended Mar 31, down 1.6 per cent from what we saw a year ago.

Elsewhere, from Elon Musk proposing to launch robotaxis in China, to TikTok suing the US federal government as its struggles to survive in the country, we’ve got more international and corporate headlines in focus. 

Also on deck, how the US reportedly revoked licences that allowed companies like Intel and Qualcomm to ship chips used for laptops and handsets to Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies. 

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with James Cheo, Chief Investment Officer, Southeast Asia and India at HSBC Global Private Banking and Wealth.
