‘‘…if each of us does our part for the “we” – care, contribute, and look out for one another – then the “me” will thrive and flourish too.

Because when the whole is strong, each of us becomes stronger too.

And that is how we strengthen the Singapore Spirit.’’

Is there a place for 'me' in a 'We-First' Society?

Are there some things we ('me') must give up if we put 'We-First'?

Can contributing to the community also help us achieve our own personal goals?

At this year’s National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong shared his Government’s plan to:

1. Provide more ways for Singaporeans to seize job opportunities brought about by rising technologies such as AI, and support them in a new uncertain global economy

2. Support youths and parents to manage challenges arising from new technologies and negative influences, such as vaping

3. Build more senior-friendly neighbourhoods with greater access to healthcare and activity centres to help them lead more fulfilling lives within the community

4. Refresh and reimagine existing spaces with new developments and greater connectivity in the northern part of Singapore

5. Rally Singaporeans together to keep alive the spirit and resilience and to strengthen a ‘We-First” society as we write the next chapter of the Singapore Story
