Consult AND Equitable

The analysts added that Mr. Wong’s voice in his first speech demonstrated that he wants to lead as a advisory and diverse head. &nbsp,

” It’s a quite kindly tone, about aunt- like or gentlemanly, that people can relate to”, said RSIS ‘ Dr Chong.

” And the offer to people in the middle years, folks in their 30s and 40s to come visit him in shaping the second paragraph of the Singapore history. I thought that was also a very nice, inclusive touch” .&nbsp,

Dr. Teo Kay Key, a researcher at the Institute of Policy Studies ( IPS), made note of Mr. Wong’s comments about younger Singaporeans, who have different perspectives on success and what they hope to achieve in life.

When he spoke about how his crew would do things different, he was probably talking to this class, she said.

According to Dr. Teo, “in the discourse, it sounds more like he is addressing the latest Singapore culture and what he thinks this world wants.”

She continued, noting that Mr. Wong’s statement stressed” Team Singapore” and the concept of power in unity. He added that his team is ready to re-examine assumptions and embrace various versions of success. &nbsp,

” I think this focus on the Singapore heart speaks with most of his notes since the pandemic,” said RSIS’ Dr. Chong.

” On harmony, I thought it was an stimulating conversation. It was gentle in its tone of inclusivity” .&nbsp,
