Which of these is NOT a challenge that Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) face as a result of globalisation?

Lack of support from Singapore government

Increased competition from MNCs and foreign businesses

The Singapore government recognises the importances of supporting SMEs and they provide multiple grants and support to SMEs. For e.g. Productivity Solutions Grant is given to SMEs to improve on their productivity. Also in the 2022 Budget, $600 million is set aside for this as well.
