Navigating changes requires nation to reaffirm core values: DPM Wong

Singapore needs to reaffirm the core values of multi-racialism and mutual support, as it navigates changes in a more volatile and uncertain world. Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said these values were important to founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and have helped Singapore succeed. Mr Wong was speaking at an event on the eve of the centenary of Mr Lee's birth, where a donation was made to support students.

Singapore’s LKY, My Favourite Dictator ! Bad Habits include Land Grab, Destroying Not Only Political Adversaries But also Influential Ppl, Families and sometimes even entire Communities . Has penchant to Play Robbin-Hood, sometimes even God & Quick to Covertly Change Laws to Suit . An attention seeker & pbly has undiagnosed OCD . Tragically, No one Bothered/ Dare intervene to rescue his reckless Kids in Lee Family Saga fiasco . Strangely almost ALL LKY’s Trusted Generals hv either Distanced or Declined High Office Appointments after his Passing. Interestingly, Timing of Both LKY & his Blue Eyed Boy & henchman, Ex Comm Of Police, Goh Yong Hong passed within Weeks in 2015, Coincidentally After serious Allegations that Will Criminally Implicate Both Filed in the Singapore High Court. RIP Buddy, KARMA rdy at Work ❤️

Hi, After Tharman's win, there will still be high GST, alot of life problems and alot of people problems and cheapo foreigners. Thanks.

[PAPLies]

This delusion is not only very dangerous but toxic even to those in the PAP that aspire to do good. As once gerrymandering comes into play, these politicians will join in the gerrymandering for fear of losing their benefits.

[PAPLies]

Fast forward, they were now replaced with high-paying politicians and political appointees from the PAP and our mainstream media are now at their beckoning, a sore point that has been constantly vocalized by concerned Singaporeans.

Those core values were forged at a time when we were on the anvil of adversity. We are now in a different age and time. It remains to be seen if those core values still apply anymore. And we are certainly a different breed from our predecessors and earlier generations.

Multiracial meritocracy is our core value. Social cohesion, unity, and respect for all.

[PAPNOaccountability]

The PAP showed that all the talk about change and reinvention was just talk. It cannot bring itself to ditch the playbook that it has relied on for decades – preying on insecurity, vulnerability and division, and promulgating how indispensable the PAP is to a glorious one-party system.

[lamjianyuan]

After so many years, 10 or 20 years, what has Tharman, halimah, Lee, Teo and the pap done or remunerated back to each common Singaporean? Nothing at all.

[PAPNOaccountability]

The July scandals add to myriad of known troubles. While each of these issues individually might not carry significant weight, their collective presence casts a shadow over the PAP’s reputation for incorruptibility.

[PAPLies]

Can anyone name any patriotic PAP politician that has put country before party politics?maybe LKY only

[PAPLies]

With full power and control comes less need for responsibility, more so when the PAP starts believing that only they can or know what is best for Singapore and Singaporeans. They have master the mastery of being our master.

Who would have phantom that LKY’s Reckless Kids will be the ones to Not Only Destroy LKY’s Legacy But also Themselves… ie. “ Ownself Destroy Ownself “ … Hilarious 😂… RIP Buddy, KARMA rdy at Work ❤…

It is better that Singaporeans not change their government like Malaysia.
