Singapore must remain open, welcome those who want to make it their home: PM Wong

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his National Day Message on Saturday (Aug 8 ) that building a stronger legacy for future generations involves more than just physical infrastructure, but also building links to the wider world and "welcoming those who wish to contribute to our society and make Singapore their home.” Stressing that staying globally connected is a "necessity" rather than a choice for a small nation, Mr Wong said it is tempting for countries to turn inward during times of global uncertainty, but that openness remains vital to Singapore's long-term success. #NDM2026 #singapore #sgnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
