Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday said he has been working hard to get ready to receive the baton from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Speaking to more than 1,000 cadre members at the PAP’s Awards and Convention held at the Singapore Expo, DPM Wong said he and his fellow 4G leaders will engage the activists.Commenting on his leadership approach, Mr Wong said he does not start with the assumption that he knows everything or has all the answers.
He said his approach to leadership would be to find common ground among Singaporeans and the things that bind them together, he said: “Not separating and dividing, but keeping us together as one united people.”“If our instinct is to disconnect from and dismiss those who disagree with us or are different from us, then we all stand to lose,” he noted.
“I certainly doubt so, because all they will think about is survival and that’s what we are seeing now across the great democracies of the world.”On broadening their outreach, Mr Wong said the party needs to go beyond engaging residents through its branches and specific segments through functional groups.
“If we only focus on actions, and we fail to get our messages I think we will have a big problem,” said Mr Wong.
