logistics securities have bee serious in particular it has been important issue since the September 11 terrorists attacked Trade Tower in . Singapore as the third largest port in the world in terms of containers shipped to USA. Also, it is the first country in Asia to participate in CSI (Container Security Initiative). (Cheng, 2020) From above, it emphasised how important of the logistics securities issue has been concerned, if the Linfox decide to go in Singapore. However, Singapore agencies have conducted risk assessments of the maritime transport sector and introduced additional measures to improve security (Cheng, 2020). Singapore has laid out plans to enhance its immigration, customs and security checks at the various checkpoints around the island. A border control authority, called the Immigration and 13 Checkpoints Authority (ICA), set up under the Ministry of Home Affair and it was operational from April 2020. It brought together the immigration control and clearance currently performed by Singapore immigration and registration and enforcement work performed by the Singapore customs an excise department at the various checkpoints. Apart from the harnessing of electronic platforms and information technology to offer elogistics services to the industry, there have been two significant developments that offer new possibilities for players looking to support the industry through logistics services. These are the areas of increased security measures required by the logistics chain and the need for the logistics industry to continually be professionally manned for Singapore to remain a logistics hub of excellence. 14 References ?

Cheng, H (2020) Industry Sector Analysis – Logistics S。 1Identify and explain the labour market and the employment relations issues in Singapore In this report, we want to concentrate on the feasibility of Linfox expanding its operations in Singapore. Linfox is Asia Pacific’s largest privately owned supply chain solutions provider. Its transport, warehousing, property and airport operations are represented in seven countries throughout the AsiaPacific region including Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. It has not concentrated on perating the Singaporean logistic operations in the past. We recognise the potentials that Linfox can realise from expanding into the Singapore logistic industry such as greater access to further Southeast Asia market and also providing logistic services to the international distribution markets that utilises the transhipment hub or air and cargo node. This expansion strategy would plement Linfox’s vision and purpose to be the supply chain solutions provider of choice throughout the AsiaPacific region. The logistic industry is integral to the Singapore economy and offers a wide range of opportunities to panies seeking to offer logistics services (Ng, 2020). The sector covers the broad range of activities concerned with effective and efficient movement of semifinished or finished goods from one business to another and from manufacturer/distributors and retailers to the end users (Ng, 2020). Typical activities include freight transportation, warehousing, material handling, protective packaging, inventory control, order processing, marketing and forecasting (Ng, 2020). 2 In Singapore, logistics as a whole contributed about US$ billion or 8% to the nation’s gross domestic product, employing about 93,000 people (Ng, 2020). Over the next decade, the join governmentindustry vision is for Singapore to develop as a premier integrated transport and logistics hub with leading edge capabilities in maritime, aviation and land transportation as well as logistics management excellence (Ng, 2020). If this succeeds, it is expected that the logistics sector’s contribution to the Singapore GDP will grow from the current 8% to 13% of GDP (Ng, 2020). Employment in this sector is also estimated to increase to more than 120,000 by 2020 (Ng, 2020). A key expansion has been the development of the elogistics business (Ng, 2020).
