Keeping an eye on cycles of old businesses have to go along with sniffing out new ones popping up a few years down the road, as old businesses could become obsolete easily.
E.g. IT software developers who 5 years ago saw the opportunity to create softwares for Data Centres operations are reaping the windfall benefits. Singapore's advantage on Data Centres lies in good, stable, uninterrupted electricity supply.
Now Phillipines, India and China are catching up fast on
developing Data Centre business themselves.
It really pays to keep watch on what our Govt is doing, what new technology are developing in US.
