SINGAPORE - Two former ministers on Wednesday expressed their confidence in the way Singapore's fourth-generation leaders have handled the Covid-19 outbreak, while urging them to take heed of its lessons and the key principles that have guided earlier governments.

The two former ministers also called on the 4G leadership to build on the trust between the people and the Government, and work to prevent social gaps from widening. Likewise, complex and long-term issues like climate change require public trust, as the Government has to spend huge sums over a long period to benefit future Singaporeans, he added.

Mr Lim pointed out that some countries may pursue globalisation at the expense of widening social gaps, while others may turn inward, eventually becoming less competitive.
