Debate on President’s speech: Charlene Chen on kindness for ‘we first’ society

Make kindness second nature to nurture a "we first" mindset, said MP Charlene Chen. Kindness must be lived in every sphere of life - at home, in school, in the community and workplace, and into digital spaces, she said. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Sep 24), she stressed that the role of the government is to enable kindness by making it easier to care, and the true test of progress is “not how high we climb but how many we bring along with us”.
