SINGAPORE — Singapore’s best years are ahead and the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP), together with the citizens, has the power to shape destiny and write the continuing Singapore story.
Making that point at the PAP Awards ceremony was Party Chairman and Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan.
More than 350 party activists were honoured yesterday evening (Dec 7), ahead of the party convention today.
The theme is “Our New Way Forward - A Call to Action” and Mr Khaw reminded Singaporeans that as the government attends to current problems, it is important to plan ahead, preempt future problems and create new possibilities for future generations.
“Singaporeans look to us, the PAP, to ensure that their welfare is protected. While we change our approach to nation building and evolve to stay abreast of external changes, our party’s purpose and our party’s basic values remain unchanged. We continue to act for the people of Singapore and to build a fair and just society,” said Mr Khaw.
“I believe that as youths we have to engage fellow youths in terms of the national policies and think about our future and I believe that Young PAP will play an important role in connecting with youths and work closely with our seniors to tap their expertise to progress and lead the party forward,” said Young PAP award recipient Fong Yoong Kheong.
Jalan Kayu Division award recipient Harjeet Singh said: “I do help in the meet-the-people sessions and I do see that a lot of people, they need help, maybe legal help, or just help in so many of their matters affecting them personally, maybe housing, traffic, family matters, and they really don’t know where to go and that will be the first stop.” CHANNEL NEWSASIA
