SINGAPORE has revised its full-year growth forecast, narrowing the range to between four and five per cent.
The change reflects a less-rosy outlook from the Government's earlier projection of four to six per cent.
The change was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his National Day message on Friday evening, when he also called on Singaporeans to prepare for a 'bumpy year ahead'.
