Singapore’s lack of natural resources did not deter our forefathers from looking far ahead and dreaming big. Through their daring and indomitable spirit in overcoming our challenges and turning them into opportunities, they gave us and future generations the strong foundation that we have today.
At the Public Service Science, Technology and Engineering Conference today, we recognise the contributions, innovation and pursuit of excellence of our public officers. They have continued to deliver quality services against emerging, complex and inter-linked challenges.
I shared with them three key approaches to consider in meeting our evolving challenges ahead.
Stretch the Public Dollar - to ensure sustainable growth and to remain competitive, we must always strive to do more with less.
Leverage our capabilities to overcome national challenges - embrace and leverage the potential of technology and harness expertise across the government.
Seizing opportunities - remain agile and creative when addressing our challenges to better secure Singapore’s future.
Thank you to our public officers! Each of you seeds and provides the capacity and capability for us to build an even better home for Singaporeans to live, work and play.
