Singapore (VNA) – Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on November 4 launched a series of celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the Independence Day of Singapore (SG60) in 2025, at an event to mark the 60th anniversary of Community Club Management Committees (CCMCs).
The PM called on Singaporean people to join the SG60, saying that the milestone is also an opportunity for Singaporeans to connect with one another, reflect on shared values and renew their commitment to the country.
According to Wong, the SG60 takes place in an era where there is a lot of complexity and turbulence, and some parts of the world see violence and conflicts while other countries face great uncertainty, as well as division and a lack of trust among their people.
He said that they are very blessed and fortunate that a lot of these negative elements are not in Singapore, adding there is nothing that is perfect here on Earth but the point is, people can keep on doing better and improving.
Programmes throughout the year will encourage Singaporeans to reflect, uphold and live out these values, according to Singapore’s Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth./.
