A message of reassurance reverberated through Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s National Day Rally speeches on Sunday, as he took heart in explaining a slew of issues faced by Singaporeans, including the rising cost of living, as well as social considerations coming on the back of our ageing population. New measures targeting key areas like housing and ageing were also unveiled.
