PM Wong Strives for Compassionate Society While Maintaining Economic Growth
In his first National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong emphasized the need for a “major reset” in both policies and societal attitudes to build a more compassionate and inclusive Singapore. While Singapore continues to seek economic growth, Wong acknowledged that realizing these ambitions requires a careful balance between innovation and stability.
Drawing on his own background, Wong shared personal stories, reflecting on his humble beginnings and the opportunities he received to excel. These stories resonated with Singaporeans, embodying the essence of the “Singapore dream.” However, as he charts a new path for the country, the challenge lies in transitioning towards more inclusive policies while maintaining the stability and growth that Singapore has come to expect.
