Commentary: PM Lee’s last major speech connects Singapore’s past success with its future trajectory

SINGAPORE’S Regulation DNA

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emphasized corporate norms that are still fundamental to Singapore’s current and upcoming growth in his May Day conversation.

These include solid social cohesion, long-term planning, and a high level of social trust between the electorate’s leaders. For Singapore to successfully manage the upcoming issues of political conflict, deglobalization, isolationism, and climate change, all three must be addressed.

These three proper principles are fundamentally interconnected, in reality, with one another. Without the government’s strong political stability and confidence, it will be impossible to carry out Singapore’s long-term planning work.

Successful long-term coverage planning is in turn increase political trust and interpersonal cohesion by ensuring Singapore’s success.

All three principles are greatly embedded in Singapore’s plan DNA. For instance, the Long- Term Plan of the Urban Redevelopment Authority ( URA ) involves extensive public consultation that seeks to incorporate the opinions and inputs of Singaporeans from all walks of life. This has led to HDB estates and open spaces that have been carefully created and made accessible to all.

Collectively, these compulsions have enabled Singapore to experience extraordinary levels of economic and cultural gain. Of all, and if one were asked to name the most crucial of these three, it would most likely get political stability and respect.
