Kim Kataguiri: I am President of the Brazil-Singapore Parliamentary Front. I had the opportunity to get to know that country, which, personally, I believe to be the wealthiest of those I have had the opportunity to visit.
Kim Kataguiri: I recall, moreover, that in the week I went there a study had been released showing that the wages of the poorest workers in Singapore were around 15,000 to 20,000 reais.
Thus, it is a very wealthy country, a country based on a market economy, while at the same time having a State that has acted strongly in workforce training and education — a country exemplary in education.
Kim Kataguiri: In fact, we had the opportunity to visit the Lee Kuan Yew University, which is a reference point, one of the first in Asia to rank among the best in the world.
Kim Kataguiri: So, it is a country that is an example.
