"The world is not likely to return anytime soon to the low inflation levels and interest rates that we have enjoyed in recent decades," he said, adding the country of 5.5 million people must plan far ahead and transform industry, upgrade skills and raise productivity. Singapore's inflation has reached more than a decade-high in recent months, and its central bank tightened its monetary policy on July 14 in an off-cycle move to cope with the cost pressure. Lee said economic challenges were more immediate and that Singapore's outlook has "clouded considerably", adding that the government will roll out more measures in coming months to help people cope with rising prices.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's 2022 National Day Message. The message was recorded at Gardens by the Bay and telecast on 8 August 2022.

As long as we stay united and resolute, we can keep our nation peaceful and secure, build a more prosperous economy, and forge an inclusive society that all of us can belong to and can be proud of, for many years to come. This is how we do things in Singapore – always daring to dream, setting our sights on the next frontier, and searching for better solutions and fresh possibilities. We also need to sustain economic progress and social resilience – investing in our people to reach their full potential, taking care of our elderly and vulnerable, fostering a common identity and building a brighter future for our grandchildren and beyond. They will transform the way we live, work and play, while strengthening our roots and heritage. I invite you to participate actively, contribute your ideas, and help to shape our future Singapore. Singapore’s deeper response to this shift must be to transform our industry, upgrade our skills and raise our productivity. I am speaking to you from Gardens by the Bay. This year is the Gardens’ 10th anniversary, but the Gardens were decades in the making. We have acted decisively to secure supplies of food and other essentials, diversifying our sources and building up adequate stockpiles. Staying united is key to Singapore’s survival – it is the only way to deal with challenges in an increasingly troubled world. Third, war in Europe will affect regional security in the Asia-Pacific. Already it has further strained China’s relations with the US, and with America’s partners in Asia. Singapore will be buffeted by intense rivalry and tensions in the region around us. We held up through this trial, to emerge stronger and more united. Second, the invasion violates fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity under the United Nations Charter. This is particularly vital to Singapore, because these principles underpin our security, and even our existence.

Singapore's story of material success might have led to its citizens growing more self-centred. As we commemorate the country's 57th year of independence, ...

The Singapore story is one of material success. For instance, the viral clip of the polytechnic lecturer making racist remarks to an interracial couple sparked soul-searching of our assumptions about racial harmony. “What’s in it for me?” we tend to ask. In the morning, residents would gather around the well to brush their teeth and take their share of the water. As long as we do not take this peace for granted and work together to protect our common space, we will get there.” But my story is an account of the “kampung spirit” – mutual aid exchanged freely and graciously. This is not to romanticise the Singapore I grew up in. The first person who drew for himself also drew for the rest of us. But as we progressed deeper into the pandemic, many individuals stepped up for others. We had no running water and had to draw it from a communal well. When I was asked about my thoughts on Singapore’s social compact, I considered how far we’ve come from a small trading port struggling with its identity in the 1960s. Singapore’s story of material success might have led to its citizens growing more self-centred.

Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan had on Saturday praised India for its digital identity and payment systems and said that it is a "clear opportunity" for the country.
