S'pore prepared to tackle challenges: SM Lee

The Straits Times

|

February 23, 2025

The world is in flux, with rapid changes brought about by technology and policy shifts, but Singapore has prepared for this.

- Chin Soo Fang

Speaking on Feb 22 at an education award ceremony in Teck Ghee, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the Government has plans for the coming year and the future, but he added that people need to rally behind it.

He said some of the plans were laid out in Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's Budget speech on Feb 18. They include more immediate needs like support for households to tackle cost pressures, and longer-term plans such as strengthening growth engines and investments in people and infrastructure.

SM Lee, who is also an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, was speaking at the Teck Ghee Citizens' Consultative Committee - Community Development Council Education Merit Award presentation ceremony at Townsville Primary School.
