SOME of the year's most debated political issues will get an airing in Sunday night's National Day Rally.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will address four main themes: The economy, the education system, immigration policy and the Singapore spirit. He will discuss the approaches to these issues, as well as 'how the policies can be improved and refined in order to secure Singapore's future', said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office on Saturday.
The annual address is the most important in the country's political calendar. The Prime Minister usually uses the address as a platform to take stock of the nation's progress, to address issues of fundamental importance and to rally the nation.
The speech will begin at 6.45pm. Mr Lee will speak in Malay and Mandarin first. The segment in English will begin at 8pm.
The speech will be telecast live on all local television channels. It will also be available at the Prime Minister's Office website, www.pmo.gov.sg, and at the website of feedback unit Reach, www.reach.gov.sg/ndrsg.
For the first time, viewers will also be able to follow the broadcast on their smartphones by going to www.ndr.sg on their phones' Web browsers.
Users of social media platform Twitter can also post their thoughts using the tag #ndrsg, or follow tweets from users at twitter. com/Reach_Singapore.
