Abstract

In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan discussed about Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s National Day Rally speech, where Mr Lee spoke about how to support low wage workers, address anxieties over foreign pass holders, and manage issues on race and religion. Assoc Prof Tan opined that this focus on the themes of egalitarianism, equality, and multiracialism is a timely shot in the arm of nation-building, as Singapore seeks to rebuild from the ravages of the pandemic.
