National Day Rally 2024: PM Lawrence Wong's full English speech
A “major reset” in Singapore’s policies and attitudes – that was how Prime Minister Lawrence Wong described the road ahead for the country in his first National Day Rally speech.
Among the key initiatives announced on Sunday (Aug 18) was a financial aid scheme for retrenched workers.
Parents of newborns will get an extra 10 weeks of shared leave, and singles will be included in a scheme that gives priority to people applying for new public flats near their parents.
