A throwback to my first election in 1984, when I spoke at the People's Action Party's lunchtime rally at Fullerton Square. 36 years later, Singapore faces a new, entirely different set of challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this. Its fallout will leave a lasting impact on Singapore and the world.
This election is arguably our most critical one since independence. The next Government needs the people’s strong support, to make difficult decisions, to lead Singapore safely through this crisis and beyond.
Every election, rain or shine, the PAP holds a lunchtime rally at Fullerton. It is the highlight of the campaign. Pandemic or no, we will again hold a Fullerton rally this time, but it will be online.
Join us tomorrow at 12 noon. I will speak about the stakes in this election, and how the PAP can meet the challenges ahead. – LHL
