SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has urged Singaporeans to work together and be ready to respond to problems when they surface.
One way to make a real difference is to stay in the loop of world developments, such as the problems the US, Europe and Japan are grappling with.
He said: "If they
are in trouble, we will be in difficulty too. So we've got to watch
what's happening around us and keep an eye on the horizon and steer a
course forward which will keep Singapore competitive for the long term.
"And
most important of all, we have to work together as one country, so that
our little ship can be stable even when there are storms and waves and
we can move forward as one united people and reach our destination
together."
Mr Lee was speaking at a National Day Carnival in his constituency on Sunday.
He said Singapore's economy could have crashed in the last economic crisis but the country still came through.
Mr
Lee said the challenges - such as providing more housing, expanding the
train and bus system and adjusting government policies to put
Singaporeans first - are being addressed.
He added that as Singaporeans deal with the challenges, they must also remember and appreciate the successes.
