Singapore today is a nation of opportunities because each generation has built a better home on the foundations laid by those who came before them. And this is why today every one of us can pursue our passions, excel in different fields of endeavour, and strive to create a better tomorrow. Now, it’s our generation’s turn to build on what we have inherited, and make our own contribution to the nation.
As a National Day song puts it,
“There’s a jewel on the ocean, a gem upon the sea Where the future is an open book A land of destiny.” (‘What Do You See?’ by Electrico, 2009)
My fellow citizens, Singapore’s best days are yet to come.
Happy National Day!
通心粉们，看了李显龙总理的国庆致辞，你有什么想说的呢？
