Laporan Banci Penduduk 2020 menunjukkan kemajuan masyarakat Melayu yang sangat ketara sepanjang sedekad lalu, terutamanya dalam bidang pendidikan dan kerjaya. Syabas!

Keluarga-keluarga di flat sewa mesti terus diberi galakan untuk memantapkan pendapatan mereka agar memiliki rumah sendiri. Kesedaran harus ditingkatkan bahawa flat sewa hanyalah huraian sementara. Pemerintah akan beri sokongan penuh untuk membantu keluarga-keluarga ini.

Pendidikan adalah kunci untuk membina sebuah masyarakat yang inklusif. Perhatian mesti di tumpukan kepada segolongan pelajar yang ketinggalan. Dengan membantu mereka yang pada mulanya ketinggalan, ia akan menjayakan dasar meritokrasi kita dan akan membolehkan kita maju bersama sebagai satu rakyat.

PM menyeru masyarakat Melayu/Islam agar bersatu padu, saling bantu membantu dan erat bermuafakat, supaya Singapura akan terus teguh, makmur dan bersinar.

总理表示，过去几十年，我们的日子很平静，可能渐渐的把种族和谐视为理所当然，因此失去一些敏感度。总理也点出少数族群租用房子和找工作的难处。雇主和屋主的偏好长久积累，或将演变成少数种族所感受到的偏见与歧视。总理希望国人继续互相包容和妥协，长久维持社会和谐与国家团结。#ndrsg

总理指出，政府会支持各族发扬和保留自己丰富的文化。我们应做好文化传承的工作，让年轻一代接受悠久历史的熏陶。我们不应失去文化的根，以免在这个变化急速的时代随波逐流。#ndrsg

Now, with 8 in 10 residents fully vaccinated and the COVID-19 situation under control, we must focus on the future. If we all do our part, we can keep our situation stable and return to a more normal life.

In many countries, the earnings of lower wage workers have stagnated. But in Singapore, they have seen their lives improve as the country progressed. The govt has helped upgrade their skills and made specific policies to raise their income.
