How can Dr. Anthony Fok help students who are weak in Economics?
Economics requires students to develop specific skills, such as interpreting examination questions accurately and constructing well-structured, persuasive arguments under exam conditions.

To address this, Dr. Fok has crafted special notes that provide the evaluation and analysis points necessary for top marks.
His notes also summarize essential knowledge, including the economic context of Singapore, developed countries such as the USA and Japan, and developing countries such as Vietnam, Brazil, China, and India.

- The rapid digital economy growth in Vietnam and India
- Global supply chain disruptions due to conflicts or pandemics
- Singapore’s property market trends and labor policy changes
