Glad many MPs spoke in support of the President’s Address on the first day of the debate. Many, especially govt MPs, offered ideas to improve or change policies. MPs generally supported the Government’s plans to improve people’s lives. But they had specific suggestions to help different groups of people. Some wanted more support for professionals, managers and executives (PMEs). Others suggested improvements to the CPF system to give older Singaporeans peace of mind in their retirement. Several urged more help for the lower-income and disadvantaged groups. We will look into these suggestions carefully. Constructive politics is key to realising our dreams. The purpose of politics is to make a difference to people’s lives, to build a better Singapore. Politics purely for the sake of power, without any notion of what we want Singapore to become, will lead us to disaster. This clip shows an exchange between Mr Low Thia Khiang and SMS Indranee Rajah on this important point. Look forward to hearing more views tomorrow. I will be speaking on Wednesday. - LHL
