Japan’s Toppan to open Singapore’s first semiconductor substrate plant

Singapore’s semiconductor industry is getting a boost with its first-ever facility to manufacture advanced substrates — a key part of chipmaking. The plant in Jurong Lake District will be set up by Japanese printing technologies firm Toppan. The three-story building will occupy some 95,000 square metres. It would be Toppan’s first manufacturing facility outside Japan. The Economic Development Board said this will spur R&D efforts and create new jobs. Rebecca Metteo reports.

  1. After 50 years of rule – uninterrupted – the PAP has failed to develop sustainable (population growth, education and economic development) policies that will enable locals to drive our economy

  2. Will Pritam Singh as Leader of the Opposition be accorded greater respect? Will he get the answers that not only he and the WP but all Singaporeans deserve?

  3. Is the Leader of the Opposition entitled to get answers on the size of the country’s reserves and the salaries of top Temasek executives such as Ho Ching?

  4. His concessions, coupled with Pritam Singh’s designation as Leader of the Opposition, ought to result in more robust debate and constructive Q&A in Parliament.

  5. Fantastic! Foreign investments have created numerous job opportunities for s'poreans. PAP is obviously the only competent and effective party in s'pore.❤❤

  6. Haha 😂😂😂 I thought Japan will go to India since operation cost in India is many times cheaper than Singapore. But looks like the Japanese don't trust India is a good country for investment. Land of scam.
