Debate on President’s speech: Syed Harun Alhabsyi on ‘we first’ as a powerful enabler
If "we first" is internalised as a core and innate value by all Singaporeans, it would be a most powerful enabler for Singapore society on several fronts, said MP Syed Harun Alhabsyi. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Sep 25), he said it would strengthen social cohesion and bolster unity. Secondly, "we first" would make Singapore’s economic competitiveness as a people and nation more potent. Thirdly, it would be the cornerstone of a caring and values-driven society.
