This Sunday the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, gave his National Day Rally speech unveiling the major changes to the Central Provident Fund scheme and also informed the nation how the Singaporeans will pay a tribute to the Pioneer Generation, in particular President Yusof Ishak.

He was speaking at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College Central in Ang Mo Kio, where he informed that the government will focus on three major areas this year: firstly giving people full opportunities to achieve their potential, secondly providing more assurance in retirement and lastly making Singapore a home for all ages. “Our Pioneers showed we can do anything, provided we set our minds to it. We must build on their legacy, giving every Singaporean the confidence to shoot for the stars. Education is an important part of this, and this year, I will focus on ITE and polytechnic students. Our polytechnics and ITEs are world-class. Foreign visitors are amazed by the facilities – better than many universities – and investors are impressed by the quality of the graduates: Well-trained, can-do, productive. Our students are also great examples of resolve, strength and character,” said Mr Lee.

“We have all contributed to the Singapore Story. At the heart of this story is our belief in Singapore; belief that we can turn vulnerability and despair into confidence and hope; belief that from the trauma of Separation we could build a modern metropolis and a beautiful home; belief that whatever the challenges of this uncertain world, we can thrive and prosper as one united people… Together, let us be the pioneers of our generation. Together, let us create a better future for all Singaporeans,” said Mr Lee ending the speech.
