KIGALI - In Singapore's case, the Government's main responsibility is to serve its people, to do the right thing for them, and make sure the country grows, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday .

"You may be right, or you may be wrong, nobody is right all the time. Nobody has a monopoly of the wisdom in the world," said PM Lee."Either, you have to listen to views, or you have to listen to criticisms within your team, within the country. And even if it comes from outside the country, listen to it objectively."

"On that basis, you can accept criticism without being defensive or without being overly swayed by different views and find the right path forward for Singapore." "We keep measuring together whether that progress has been made. And once you allow this to keep going and being the guide of what you want to do, criticisms are things you can live with, you can learn from," he said.Responding to another question on the Commonwealth, PM Lee said its members work out where they can cooperate and find win-win opportunities to collaborate.

People who received these scholarships returned to their countries, and in Singapore, they made considerable contributions in government and the private sector, he added.
