Budget 2025 debate: Heng Swee Keat on riding rapid changes for Singapore to emerge stronger
Singapore has done well over the last 60 years, but changes will accelerate in the years ahead, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Feb 27), he stressed the need for Singapore to ride the changes to create a better future for its people, as well as stay creative and find opportunities in adversity to emerge stronger. Mr Heng also updated the House on Singapore’s economic transformation, as well as progress in its research, innovation and enterprise ecosystem. He pointed out that as Singapore celebrates SG60, the country is tougher, stronger, kinder and more than compassionate than the one that celebrated SG50. As he looks forward to SG70, he stressed the need to continue to invest in all Singaporeans, as well as deepen efforts for a multiracial, multi-religious and multicultural society.
