“So the way forward is for us to embrace that diversity, continue to engage one another, and at the same time, work even harder to find unity amid diversity, to find common ground,” said Mr Wong. For sensitive issues where different groups have competing, contradictory views, “it may be that the Government does not have to always take the lead”, said Mr Wong.
He said that he will do his best to make sure PAP earns the confidence and trust of Singaporeans and gets the mandate to govern. “He distilled leadership into two things. One, knowing what to do and two, getting people to do what is the right thing. It sounds very simple, but actually, there is a lot of wisdom in that,” said Mr Wong.
Given the more volatile economic environment and more frequent job disruptions, said Mr Wong, “we feel it is necessary to have some support system in place”.
