For his recent slapstick! Warning: Read on only if you're too free!
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR>PM's gold medal speech at the National Day Rally
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->A LIVELY speech filled with interesting slides and media presentation that must have kept many glued to the set is how best to describe this year's National Day Rally delayed telecast on Monday.
It's never easy to stay interested in a two-hour speech but this year's rally made it tough for many to switch channels at all.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's encouragement of moving towards a more gracious society is as significant as other challenging social issues he highlighted. A gracious society will complement Singapore's economic success further.
The further liberalisation of political discussions in the Internet and even physical demonstrations in specific areas come as a pleasant surprise. Singapore has now not only changed physically with its new skyscrapers and landscape but also in terms of its software.
A multiracial country like Singapore needs to invent its own system, and at its own pace, to ensure its security is not compromised. Singapore's security is one of the main draws for many that have chosen to relocate here with their families.
With so much political uncertainty in our neighbouring countries, many will appreciate the Government's far-sighted approach and solutions to future social issues.
In the present global economic uncertainty, many administrations would have sidelined social issues likely to have a more detrimental impact in the long term. PM Lee's administration not only anticipated inflation problems at the end of last year and assisted the needy, but has again foreseen future social issues and offered possible solutions. This is a classic case of prevention being better than cure.
We may have missed the live telecast of the major part of the National Day Rally - and the gold medal in the Olympics table tennis team event - but were rewarded with a gold medal speech in Monday's delayed telecast. Ong Hoo Kooi
