Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (PM) focused on four key issues in his sixth National Day Rally speech
- the economy
- healthcare
- social harmony
- shaping Singapore together
PM mentioned that Singapore has seen the worst of the current recession and although a subdued recovery is expected for the global economy, the country can still grow by sharpening its skills and enlarging its market share. Mr Lee reminded workers to adapt and upgrade themselves.
Mr Lee also acknowledged Singapore's aging population and how the Government is constantly reviewing its policies to adapt to the changing demographics of the nation.
He also spoke at length on the need to maintain social cohesion, particularly racial and religious harmony, which he said will continue to play an important role in Singapore's society.
