At the PAP Convention held on Sunday (Dec 6), Prime Minister Lee
Hsien Loong warned Singaporeans not to rely on the government to do
everything and that the people have to look after themselves and
for each other:
“Community engagement is basic to the way we solve problems —
working together and bringing people together, rather than relying
on the state to do everything.”
The ruling party also had a panel discussion which revealed three
issues the government will be working at. First is the state of
public transport, Lee Hsien Loong want to make Singapore a
“car-light” society where everyone travels by public transport.
Secondly, Lee Hsien Looong wish to see more elderly continue
working if they can. Lastly, the Prime Minister said that his
government is focused on getting Singaporeans to upgrade and be
employed at all stages of life.
However, Lee Hsien Loong did not go into the specifics and his
fellow Ministers and PAP party activists merely regurgitated the
direction in a general sense. There is no mention of specific
policies or any hint that the government will be imposing new
policies to support the issues they mentioned.
