SINGAPORE - Singaporeans should not undermine a system that has served them well, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday

"After a government falls, what follows isn't a new, more stable equilibrium, but more frequent changes of governments and divisive politicking. People appear to have a choice, but often the more things change, the more they remain the same. These countries have not done better than Singapore," said PM Lee, who is also secretary-general of the PAP.

The PAP traditionally holds a rally in the Central Business District, near Fullerton Square, just after the half-way point of the general election campaign, but this is being done online this year because of Covid-19. It is an"experienced team" that includes capable ministers, and seasoned and energetic MPs that will take care of every constituency and speak up in Parliament.

"I hope younger and first-time voters will identify with them, and see them as candidates who will represent their views and advance their interests," he said, adding that his duty as PM was also to prepare new generations of leaders who can take over.
