SINGAPORE: The singapore government wants to double the size of the country’s media, design and art industries to six percent of the economy by 2012, a minister said on Saturday.

            “The creative industries are poised to play a significant role in transforming our economy and society,” Lee Boon Yang, Minister for information, communication and the Arts , told a graduation ceremony for arts students.
            Singapore’s government has set aside more than S$200 milion (US$116 milion) over the next five years to invest in the arts sector, Lee said, without giving details. – AP
