There's a seat at the table for every Singaporean

Excerpt of letter by PM Lee Hsien Loong to Singaporeans:

We live in a troubled world. By chance, polling day coincided with the anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks in America. In the Middle East, ISIS is a growing threat, leading astray people in many countries, including a few Singaporeans. Global warming and rising sea levels will affect Singapore in ways we cannot yet predict. We must track these and other external challenges, while attending to our domestic priorities.

This election is a major step forward for our leadership renewal. Joining Heng Swee Keat, Chan Chun Sing, Lawrence Wong and Tan Chuan-Jin from the last batch are Ng Chee Meng, Ong Ye Kung, Chee Hong Tat and Amrin Amin in this round. More than half of the 83 newly-elected MPs are in their 40s or younger. The new team will forge their own bonds with younger Singaporeans.

There is a seat at the table for every Singaporean who wants to build our future. Come join us. Let’s get to work, together.
