New solutions to produce sustainable aviation fuel, alternative construction materials, and low-carbon hydrogen are promising areas for meeting the world’s Net Zero commitments. These are focus areas for the new Corporate Lab by ExxonMobil, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) which I was glad to launch yesterday.
Some of these technologies have been proven in the lab. The challenge is scaling them up for commercial deployment in the region and beyond. Corporate labs provide a good platform to bring together the public and private sectors to collaborate on this.
I thanked ExxonMobil for taking a leadership role. It was a founding member of the Singapore Energy Consortium (SEC), which was jointly established by NTU and National University of Singapore in 2018 to address future energy challenges in Singapore and the region. This corporate lab takes the partnership between Singapore and ExxonMobil to the next level.
Congratulations once again to NTU, A*STAR and ExxonMobil!

Had a fun day out with residents celebrating the 10th anniversary of ActiveSG at the ActiveSG Circle Sports Fiesta at HeartbeatBedok today!
Exercise and keeping active can boost both our physical and mental health. Wonderful to see families coming together to actively participate in the various sports activities and the energetic dance fitness extravaganza.
For a decade now, ActiveSG has been spearheading our national movement to encourage all Singaporeans to stay active and healthy, through affordable access to a diverse range of sports facilities and programmes across the island. Beyond health and fitness, ActiveSG has also helped to foster stronger family bonds through sports.
I encourage everyone to sign up for an ActiveSG Circle programme in your community to keep fit, stay healthy, and have fun together! Check out their Page for more details!

Joined Bedok residents for a vibrant celebration of Chithirai Thiruvizha, or Chithirai Festival, over the weekend!
Chithirai is the first month of the Tamil solar calendar and marks the start of the new year. Happy to see residents from different races and cultures enjoying themselves throughout the evening with delicious food and lively performances.
My thanks to the East Coast GRC Indian Activity Executive Committee (IAEC) for bringing the community together. Wishing all our Tamil friends prosperity and good health for the year ahead!

Visited some Bedok residents who are getting their flats upgraded through HDB’s Home Improvement Programme (HIP), over the weekend.
Many are seniors who have lived in Bedok for years, and appreciated enhancements like slip-resistant floor tiles and fire alarm devices. These will make their homes safer and provide more peace of mind. Thanks to the air-conditioned rest areas at the void deck during the upgrading, residents told me that they have formed new friendships through the HIP!
Thank you to colleagues from Housing & Development Board for your support, and to residents for the useful suggestions. I wish everyone a smooth HIP!

Happy May Day!
This is PM Lee Hsien Loong’s last May Day as Prime Minister of Singapore. As he reflected on his 40 years in politics, PM said that “Singapore’s dramatic progress would have been impossible without tripartism”.
Indeed, it is the harmonious and collaborative partnership between the Labour Movement, employers, and Government that has set Singapore apart from other countries and enabled us to thrive and prosper. Through tripartism, we weathered crises with resilience and solidarity, and bounced back with verve and energy to ride new waves. We could take a proactive approach to transforming the economy and preparing for the future, because workers and employers have confidence in, and share a commitment towards building a better Singapore for all Singaporeans.
This is how we have built trust and a strong social compact across successive generations. As we stand on the cusp of a leadership transition, our commitment to tripartism remains unwavering, and NTUC Singapore continues to build new partnerships and reach out to new segments of workers. This will be an important anchor as we navigate a more uncertain world, to create new opportunities and improve the lives of our workers.
My thanks to our brothers and sisters in the Labour Movement for your dedication and commitment. Together with our workers and partners, we will ensure inclusive growth that creates opportunities for all!
