COVID-19 has hamstrung and crippled us. It drives home the reality of being a very small city state. Unlike big countries with a big domestic economy, we are too small to sustain ourselves. We have to remain open and connected to the world.
As Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said, the road that we travel is not made by nature. It is carved by hand.
Together, we can forge a new way forward.
Now, you understand why the government wanted to hold the election at the earliest possible time. A long runway, friends, is needed to deal with this crisis. The election was about Singapore's future.
