Got a preview of the centrepiece event of the SG Bicentennial - From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience!

I encourage everyone to visit this remarkable showcase of our history, and come away enriched by the experience.

It opens 1 June at Fort Canning Centre. You can book your free tickets here: https://www.bicentennial.sg/the-bicentennial-experience/

PM Lee gave the keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue. In this extract, he speaks about the fundamental problem in the US-China relationship, & the consequences of a face-off between both sides.

Shangri-La Dialogue 2019: Zero-sum dynamic makes it hard to reach agreement between US & China. But it is in their interest to keep their relationship steady, so they can focus on domestic priorities.

Shangri-La Dialogue 2019: It is natural that the US & China will vie for power & influence, but competition should not inevitably lead to conflict. We hope they find a constructive way forward.

Shangri-La Dialogue 2019: To expect every country to adopt the same values & systems is neither reasonable nor realistic. Diversity is humankind’s strength. There is much we can learn from each other.

Shangri-La Dialogue 2019: We must work together to maximise the chances that countries will make the right choices, opt for peace & cooperation, and preserve the progress we have made together.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri kepada semua umat Islam! Hope you have a good time gathering & feasting with your family.

Zaobao asked me & some Cabinet Ministers to share our thoughts on the theme of 传承. Two Chinese characters, packing so much meaning – literally to hand on and to receive, but a better translation would be to pass on something precious from generation to generation.
