\nEducation, health and making Singapore a Smart Nation were the top priorities outlined by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during his National Day Rally speech. As more businesses strive to use technology to make their customers lives more convenient, we look at how some property developers have already made a head start by rolling out new mobile applications that can, among other things, remotely control lighting, air-conditioning and manage home energy consumption. Read our full report on smart homes in this issue.
\nBut we still have a lot to learn from other countries such as Japan, the land of smart homes. There are already thousands of smart homes in smart cities across the country that go so far as to store solar energy and generate electricity at the touch of a smartphone. Read more on page 12.
\nIf technology isn\u2019t your thing and you prefer the outdoors, then head down to Sembawang this weekend. The estate is home to one of the last few natural beaches in Singapore. There are also relics from the Second World War and good seafood options worth checking out. Turn to page 6.
\nElsewhere in this issue, we look in more detail at vacancy rates, how FinTech is changing the finance sector and futuristic home designs.
\nEnjoy the read.
