We will involve Singaporeans in creating and implementing solutions, says PM Wong as new Cabinet sworn in
The People's Action Party (PAP) Government will continue engaging Singaporeans from all walks of life to reflect their voices in policies, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Friday (May 23).
«Beyond listening, we will actively involve you in creating and implementing solutions that matter to you and your families,» he added.
«This is how my team and I will govern — in partnership with Singaporeans.»
He was addressing political office-holders and invited guests during the swearing-in of the new Cabinet at the Istana.
The prime minister noted how Singaporeans had given the PAP a «clear mandate» in the general election. He led his party to win 65.57 per cent of the vote at the polls on May 3.
«In these uncertain times, you understood what was at stake — our vulnerabilities and our future. You chose leaders you could trust, a government you could rely on, and a steady course for our nation's next phase of development.»
