SG100 is a long time away; I will be more than 90 years old then, that is if I’m lucky to be still around
But let’s take SG75 as an intermediate milestone – that’s in 2040.
I will be 50 this year; I have committed all 25 years of my working life so far to public service – 14 in the civil service, and 11 in politics.
By 2040, I will be close to 70 years old. As I said before, I don’t know if the PAP will win the next General Election, let alone if I will still be in office in 2040.
But I give you my word: whatever lies ahead, I will give every ounce of my strength to this movement, together with my comrades in the 4G team.
We will do whatever it takes to strengthen the PAP-NTUC symbiotic relationship and our tripartite partnership to keep Singapore special and build a better Singapore in SG75.
