Almost a year after what has been described as a watershed General Election, a "certain stability" has been restored in the mood of the electorate and its expectations, according to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Speaking to the Singapore media at the end of the 20th ASEAN Summit, Mr Lee gave his observations on post-GE 2011 Singapore - where there is a new compact between the Government and the people - but cautioned against a situation where the population relinquishes its strength of being able to move together, even on issues where there might not be unanimous consensus.
Mr Lee pointed out that the Government has changed its approach in many ways. "You have seen that in outcomes of policies as well as in terms of the process in engagement. It's a necessary change - I think it has been helpful," said Mr Lee.
But Mr Lee reiterated that it takes two hands to clap: "It's not just what the Government does, it's also about how the electorate see its role in the new environment, and how it sees it can contribute and what it thinks its responsibilities (are) towards making the system work in a different way."
