In NDR speech, PM Lee outlines efforts to improve preschools, fight diabetes and shape Smart Nation

SINGAPORE — Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will address three issues critical to Singapore’s long-term success in his 14th National Day Rally on Sunday (Aug 20) night.

Giving a preview of his speech earlier this month, Mr Lee said ensuring children have a good start in life, nudging Singaporeans to stay healthy, and tapping technology to create opportunities and jobs are three important ways in which the Government is preparing for the future.

In his speech at the ITE College Central, he will elaborate on the Government’s efforts to improve pre-school education, the war on diabetes and the Smart Nation initiative.

Mr Lee will be speaking in Malay and Mandarin from 6.45pm to 7.30pm and in English from 8.15pm to 9.30pm.

Members of the public can catch the Rally on television and radio as well as live streams online — on Mr Lee’s and Reach’s Facebook pages, on the Prime Minister’s Office YouTube channel and on Toggle.
