Mr Lee Yi Shyan at the Parliamentary Debate on President's Addendum

SPEECH BY MOS LEE YI SHYAN AT THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE ON THE PRESIDENT’S ADDENDUM ON 9 NOV 2006

I consider it a great honour to be able to address this House. Although this is my first speech in the House, I have already been assured that the proposals and thoughts of this House are closely followed by the media and the members of the public. In fact, my 10-year-old daughter appealed to my wife last night, quoting my team colleague Lui Tuck Yew’s speech yesterday not to be too obsessed with exam results. Sir, I also think that our young are not apathetic in politics. As the President commented in his speech, Singapore now stands at another turning point. As we gaze into the horizon, we see vast opportunities but look out for undercurrents and perils.
