Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong national rally speech this evening introduced a lot of policy changes. Very positive changes indeed. A lot of the issues raised during the General Election in May was addressed. HDB's income ceiling raised by $2,000 to $10,000. Healthcare benefits expanded to start at 40 years old instead of 55 for subsidised chronic care but he also caution that US is in trouble because of the healthcare benefits. The social safety net for Autistic kids, the school for autistic kids - Pathlight will be expanded in capacity to accomodate more kids with learning disability.
So as he move to a more populist policy as our government can afford, he also cited the country currently in difficulties due to unaffordable policy.
It is so easy for him to get historical clips for presentation from all the stories. I like the Malaysia's cup where Fandi Ahmad scored the 4th and final goal and Singapore won the 1994 Malaysia's Cup. I think this is the great highlight of PM Lee's speech.
