Being clear and transparent in our communication to staff and clients is critical as we gear up for the extended presence of Covid-19. Our business continuity plan (BCP) has been tested and efficiently put into place. Our technology infrastructure enables staff to work remotely and have virtual meetings, with the required protocols in place to ensure confidentiality of documents and emails. We remain committed to assist our clients in this turbulent time, and have also promised our staff that their livelihoods will be protected. We will continue to demonstrate that there is no absence of leadership. I am confident that Singapore will tide through this difficult period.
