SINGAPORE — The recent controversies which have drawn the public's attention will not delay the political succession plan for Singapore, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during his National Day Rally speech on Sunday (Aug 20).

He was referring to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau's investigation into Transport Minister S Iswaran who was later interdicted from duty, and the resignations of former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin and former Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui following their affair.

“I promised Singaporeans that I would see the nation through the crisis, together with both the current and the 4G leadership,” he said. "That our time as stewards is transient, but we are building a Singapore for the ages. And that our best service to this nation is to hand over a better, stronger Singapore to those who follow us."The year-long public consultation exercise led by the 4G leaders, is aimed at refreshing Singapore’s social compact while identifying how everyone can contribute towards charting a new path forward together.

Our forefathers, he said, built more than a nation of"bricks and mortar, skyscrapers and a thriving economy".
