00:00 two challenges, domestic and international. I think the domestic challenge is that our society,
00:08 particularly our younger generation, are getting more cynical about government.
00:14 They're getting less trusting of government. And this is quite worrying for me.
00:23 And so one very important thing is for the government to restore trust
00:28 in the government among the people, especially the younger generation.
00:32 And how do we do this? I think we have to put right whatever has gone wrong
00:38 in terms of our standards of trust and integrity.
00:42 Internationally, of course, there's geopolitical conflict, but as long as we stay united as a
00:49 nation, we will be able to deal with the risk of the international environment.
00:56 So staying united is more important than ever. And the President has got to play that unifying role.
01:04 Because the international environment, though troublesome, also offers opportunities for
01:11 Singapore. We are a refuge for the rest of the world. And if we stay united, we will be able
01:19 to exploit all these opportunities. So both a domestic challenge and an international challenge.
01:26 Thank you, Mr Ng.
