Singapore recently commemorated its 59th year of independence.
At his inaugural National Day Rally as Prime Minister (PM), PM Lawrence Wong highlighted several significant long-term development projects, aimed at creating a more vibrant and inclusive society, ensuring the nation would be more well-equipped for the future.
This includes greater emphasis on upskilling, enhancements to the education system, more emphasis on family, and more recreation and sports facilities.
