SINGAPORE – The Government will continue to invest in education, housing and public infrastructure for Singaporeans, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, even as it steps up support for households during difficult economic times.
He was speaking on Aug 1 at the reopening of Fuchun Community Club in Marsiling.
PM Wong said the Government also continued to invest in the essentials that Singaporeans cared about. He added that the Government provides extra help in tougher times, pointing to support packages, including CDC vouchers and U-Save rebates, rolled out in 2026 amid higher costs stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.
But PM Wong stressed that building a stronger Singapore could not rest on the Government alone.
He said: “A strong community is made up of neighbours helping one another, residents taking ownership in the estate that they live in, residents stepping forward to be volunteers and grassroots leaders stepping forward to do their part for the community.”
He described this spirit of mutual support as “gotong royong” and said the history of Fuchun CC mirrored the history of Singapore’s development.
