THE Government will make special effort to engage young Singaporeans and involve them in nation-building, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday night.
This will be a major task after the polls, he pledged.
PM Lee was speaking at the rally at Ubi to support the People's Action Party team led by Foreign Minister George Yeo, who is facing off the Workers' Party slate anchored by Mr Low Thia Khiang.
Reaching out to the young, Mr Lee said: 'We cherish you. We cheer for you. We want you to succeed, because Singapore belongs to you. You will be Singapore.'
He also exhorted young Singaporeans to build a better nation than what the older generations had achieved for them.
'And so we're making a special effort to engage young people, tapping their ideas and energies, involving them in building Singapore. That will be a major task which will face us after this General Elections,' added PM Lee.
