Overview: PM Lee's National Day Rally Speech by ZhiGang

Summary: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has highlighted the need for economic growth and a cultural change to help all Singaporeans achieve their potential. Mr Lee outlined how Singaporeans can attain success through different routes, regardless of their academic qualifications. To help the older generation of Singaporeans, Mr Lee also announced policy enhancement to the national savings scheme. Overall, Mr Lee urged Singaporeans to be the pioneers of their own generation in the next 50 years and beyond.

Opinion: In my opinion, I feel that it is important for a government to be properly managed. Many years, there have been debate over the possession of paper qualification in Singapore. After this rally, this shows that the government has taken into the consideration of its people and to build a society whereby everyone have the chance to have a job of their choice despite their education level. Since Singapore has a competitive education system, this would benefit the weaker students.
