Still sleepwalking into King Trump era ….TAKING SINGAPORE FORWARD based on very yesterday assumption….
Mr Lee also said the government understands the challenges ahead and has worked out plans to take Singapore forward amid the uncertainties, just as it has done for so many decades.
The government is also investing in infrastructure projects, including Changi Airport Terminal 5, Tuas Megaport, new train lines such as the Thomson-East Coast Line and Cross Island Line, and new hospitals and community care facilities like the recently opened Woodlands Health Campus, he added.
A decades-long reclamation project, Long Island, will also be developed along the East Coast to safeguard Singapore from rising sea levels.
"Most importantly, we are also investing in our social fabric, through Forward SG," Mr Lee said, adding that "programmes like ComLink+ and the Fresh Start Housing Scheme will uplift our vulnerable and enhance social mobility".
He also highlighted SGSHARE, a national regular giving programme linked to SG60 and Community Chest, which aims to spur volunteerism and strengthen bonds among fellow Singaporeans.
“We are building a Singapore: Where every citizen belongs, where everyone will have every opportunity to succeed, no matter what their starting point in life, and where all share a sense of participation and purpose, and where we take ownership of our nation’s future together,” Mr Lee said.
