Now let’s work to make every citizen comfortable

So the serious business of voting is over and common sense seems to have prevailed. Picking the right candidates was crucial, especially those who will see us through with the right policies.

It is time to move forward as one, whatever our political dispositions, and attain the objective that must be uppermost in the minds of all: Ensuring further stability, growth and prosperity for all to enjoy, feeding off the foundation laid by our forefathers.

We must work to make, as far as possible, every citizen comfortable, so that there will be more to celebrate when SG100 comes around.

We must put what our first generation of leaders drilled into us — and embodied — to good use to make our city-state better than it is already.

That would be a more remarkable achievement, tempered with a steel-like resilience, that would stand the test of not only another 50 years but also a century after that.
