THE ruling People's Action Party has lived up to its responsibilities to Singaporeans, the vast majority of whom should have seen their lives improve over the last five years, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.
'We don't give ourselves our own report card, but I think if people asked me, I would say, we have passed the examination,' said Mr Lee, in his address at the 25th anniversary of Young PAP, the youth wing of the party.
Taking stock of the last five years, which he described as a 'tumultuous roller coaster ride', including weathering the global economic crisis three years ago, Mr Lee said Singapore came through the storm strengthened and more united than before.
He ranged over the progress that had been achieved in many areas, from housing and education to improving the environment and raising workers' wages.
Mr Lee said the lives of the vast majority of Singaporeans have improved since the last elections, and their household incomes have gone up and in real terms, despite the rising cost of living, which is looming as a top hot-button issue in the coming General Election.
'So what we can do we have done, and in a practical outcome. I think it has helped many, many Singaporeans,' he said.
PM Lee said the PAP, which will be campaigning on the slogan, Securing Our Future Together, in the coming General Election, will deliver on the promises outlined in its manifesto, because 'the PAP has always delivered'.
