Thank you for waiting for me.  I gave everybody a scare

分詞構句

The last time I did this I was on the parade square in SAFTI, and fainted.

I think that's what happened. I've never had so many doctors look at me all at once.

They think I'm alright but anyway I'm going to have a full checkup after this.

But before that I'd like to finish my speech.

I will not go into the elected president, there's a lot of stuff which needs to be spoken,

but I will find another occasion for that. I'd just like to cover two things in my speech

which I think is important and which I should say tonight.

One, to do with leadership succession, and I think what happened

makes it even more important that I talk about it now.

And two, where do we see Singapore, where are we today?

Where would we go next 15 years, next 50 years?

I think it's good for us to step back from our immediate preoccupations and problems,

and take a longer look at where Singapore is.

But first let me talk about leadership succession.

We've now got the core team for the next generation in Cabinet

But you know ministers or not, all of us are mortal.

Heng Swee Keat recently gave us a bad scare, worse than what I gave you just now, much worse.

I'm very glad he pulled through and is steadily recovering his strength.

You've seen the video of him leaving hospital. It's a miracle he's alright.

The SCDF team who responded to the emergency call did an excellent job and I'm glad they're here today.

And I should say thank you to them because I invited them here as guests,

The doctors have recommended that Heng Swee Keat avoid contact with crowds

for at least a few more months to minimise the risk of infection.

So he can't do his usual community and grassroots work for a little while longer

But they have given him the go-ahead do office work with minimum interaction.

So I have decided that Swee Keat will resume his duties as Minister for Finance.

DPM Tharman will stop covering as Acting Minister.

Swee Keat will focus on next year's budget and CFE, meaning Committee for the Future Economy.

I told him just do the work, minimise contact which is not necessary.

Avoid getting an infection it can be troublesome, don't shake hands, just do namaste, like that.

I intend to appoint a Second minister to help Swee Keat out with operational  responsibilities at MOF

and I have decided to appoint Lawrence Wong.

Progressively Swee Keat will come back to work.

Building up leadership and preparing for succession is one of my top priorities.

Nothing that has happened has changed my timetable or my resolve to press on with a succession

In the next GE, we will reinforce the team again,

and soon after the next GE, my successor must be ready to take over from me.

I'm sharing my concerns and plans with you because all of us have a role to play building Singapore together.

But whom are we building Singapore for?  It's not just for ourselves.

It's for our children, our grandchildren.  It's always been the Singapore Story.

Every generation doing better than the one before, looking ahead, acting now.

Giving the best chance possible for the next generation.

What is the Singapore we are building for our children?

Let's give ourselves some perspective -  look back 15 years, look forward 15 years.

I think plus or minus 15 years is a good time frame.

It's not so long that you can't remember what happened before,

or that you can't imagine what will come in 15 years' time.

15 years ago we experienced 911.  The world was in shock.

Our economy went into recession. We held general elections immediately, November 2001.

We had a strong win. We went on to do many things together over the next 15 years.

Just look at the changes to Singapore since then.

Marina Bay. From reclaimed land we created a whole new CBD. We built Marina Barrage.

Gardens by the Bay. Now we celebrate festivals there including Christmas and New Year.

We built beautiful HDB flats in Punggol and created the Punggol Waterway.

We developed one-north to create opportunities in biomedical sciences, ICT, new media.

We built buildings there with strange names,  all kinds of "polis-es".

Biopolis - for medical biomedical. Mediapolis - for media, this is where Mediacorp's new office is.

Fusionopolis - to bring different things together,

and the Launchpad, humming with energy and innovation.

We built the City in a Garden.  The Botanic Gardens very popular,

or the East Coast Park, always full of families and life.

We've got park connectors and ABC waterways all over the island,

buildings with roof gardens, high-rise greenery. And now the wildlife is coming back.

We have Hornbills again. This one, his name is Bobby. He was born in the Istana grounds.

Then he went to Sungei Buloh when he collected the keys to his BTO flat.

We have an otter family - famous on BBC. Visiting different parts of Singapore.

At National Day we went back to the National Stadium and brought back the Kallang Wave.

I thought you were going to join them! [Laughter]

In those 15 years we went through ups and downs together.

We discovered the JI (Jemaah Islamiah) group in our midst and yet we pulled together against terrorism.

We experienced SARS. We were hit by the GFC - global financial crisis - they did not break us.

Now we are at the threshold again, looking ahead to the next phase of our nation building.

Having lived with terrorism for 15 years, we now find it a more serious threat than ever.

Again, like in 2001, we had a strong election win  and again we have a full agenda ahead.

If we put everything together that we are planning and doing, what can our children look forward to by 2030?

What can we expect Singapore to look like?

Physically the western part of Singapore will be transformed.

Lakeside Gateway will become a vibrant business.

The High-Speed Rail will connect us directly to KL.

This line takes a few seconds but when the rail is ready, it will take you 90 minutes.

The Jurong Lake Gardens, with the Science Centre, will give the Lake District the distinct identity.

There'll be new jobs, new high-tech manufacturing industries in the Jurong Innovation District.

Another town, Tengah, will be built next door.

In the north, a Woodlands regional center will be the northern Gateway to Singapore,

with business spaces, housing, waterfront park.

SIT (Singapore Institute of Technology) in Punggol will cater not just to students,
