Minister of Finance Lawrence Wong, shared a video of his speech on May Day that there is no ready blueprint for the Singapore of Tomorrow.
He said that no one can guarantee that Singapore will do well in this more uncertain and volatile future, but what gives him confidence is what we have been through these last few years, where we were able to adapt and adjust quickly.
Above all, he added that we kept faith with one another throughout this period and maintained our solidarity and trust with each other.
Here is what he said
There is no ready blueprint for the Singapore of tomorrow.
I hope to see a fairer, greener, and more inclusive Singapore that we will always be proud to call home – a home where everyone is accepted and valued; treated equally and with respect; and live with dignity, and flourish in their own way, regardless of their background or starting points.
Translating this ideal to reality will require more than my own personal hopes. It’s ultimately about what we can and must do as a people, together.
Let’s chart our new way forward together, and keep the Singapore Story going for many more generations to come!
