Young people of today have many more opportunities, better quality of living.

Young Singaporeans have reasons to be confident that they will continue to move upwards, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

The country’s future is bright, and young Singaporeans have reasons to be confident that they will continue to move upwards, he added. “E-sports trainer – you can make a living! You are sitting there playing with your fingers and mouse, in a super special chair with a big screen, and you can make a living. So is that a worse life than the previous generation? I do not think so,” quipped PM Lee, ever the technophile.

In terms of the quality of life – the amenities, connections, social environment in the neighbourhoods – Singapore is comparable to, if not better than, nearly every other major city in the world, he added.
