'We must never take the trust bestowed upon us by Singaporeans for granted... Only then can we win and renew trust with Singaporeans,' he emphasized
SINGAPORE: Speaking at the People’s Action Party’s 2023 convention on Sunday , Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, who is also the chairman of the governing party, said the PAP must continue to win the trust of Singaporeans from different generations.
“The work to build a harmonious, multiracial society with opportunities for all never ceases,” he said, “As a small island state, Singapore must continuously innovate and create value to maintain our relevance to the region and the world.” He also highlighted the “Forward Singapore” exercise led by Deputy Secretary-General Lawrence Wong, which aims to refresh the social compact of Singapore. Through engaging citizens from all walks of life, he said the PAP seeks to build a shared understanding of the nation’s desired path and how each individual can contribute to this journey.
As PAP chairman, Mr Heng expressed his honour as part of the team leading the Party and Singapore forward. He acknowledged that while Singapore may be faring well compared to other countries, complacency is not an option.
