Aiyoh, look at the ‘tokong’ outcomes of our ‘creative and bold planning’!
I refer to the front page headline news “Bold, creative planning key to reimagining the future: PM” (Straits Times, Aug 9).
It states that “Tomorrow, we celebrate National Day. Singapore has come a long way. Today, we are a vibrant, flourishing city-state, offering Singaporeans a good quality of life.
Our policies have served us well for 53 years. As Singapore changes and develops, they must continue to improve people’s lives and maintain confidence in our future.
Singapore’s best days are yet to come. Happy National Day!
Similarly, across Singapore, childcare centres have been opened to ensure all children can have a good start in life, and community healthcare facilities are in the works to bring quality care to people where they live, he added.
“These services will always be affordable,” he said.
As for existing public housing estates, the Housing Board will continue to maintain and upgrade them, he said.
Alluding to the hotly discussed issue of the fate of HDB flats when their 99-year leases run out, he added: “Though the leases still have many years to run, we should think ahead about how we can keep older estates in good living condition, and also start to redevelop them, in order to build new homes and towns for future generations.”
Wrapping up, he said that building Singapore for the next 50 years will be a massive undertaking that will last more than a generation.
“To sustain this project, we will need a strong economy and sound government finances. Most importantly, we need social cohesion, political stability and good government for many years… to carry out and realise our vision.””
