2024 marked a pivotal year for Singapore as Mr Lawrence Wong delivered his first National Day message as the nation’s fourth Prime Minister. Following his ascension to office in May, PM Wong’s speech introduced “bold but necessary”[1] policies designed to fortify Singapore’s social compact in an increasingly uncertain global landscape. His speeches, delivered in English, Malay, and Mandarin, each touched on different aspects of this vision for Singapore’s future, though some elements stood out more strongly in certain languages.
