the world has changed but SAF still killing Sg

AS THE world changes, so too must Singapore.

But even as the country keeps reinventing itself to keep up with global developments, Singaporeans must hold fast to certain constants - their core values, Asian heritage and 'the national spirit' to overcome crises together, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

In his Chinese New Year message, where he traditionally also focuses on the importance of family togetherness, Mr Lee took stock of some hot-button issues that concern Singaporeans.

Some 'feel a sense of dislocation and unfamiliarity' amid the rapid changes.

While there are physical improvements such as the new Marina Bay skyline and upgraded housing estates, society is also changing on a more intangible level.

Younger Singaporeans have different attitudes and aspirations, he observed. Also, the population has been augmented with a good number of new immigrants, he said, referring to the influx of foreigners in recent years.
