SINGAPORE: The Government wants to provide every citizen the opportunity to achieve their goals, said Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Friday (Aug 7).
In a Facebook post, Mr Shanmugam reflected on Singapore’s significant progress, as the country marks its 50th year of independence. “We want to keep it that way,” he wrote. “Happy National Day and SG50!”
Mr Shanmugam also posted a video illustrating his point. It garnered nearly 10,000 views, 475 likes and more than 200 shares within the first three hours.
The video starts off with a boy asking what he would be when he grows up, to which his father responds: “In Singapore, you can be anything you want to be.”
But the boy later asks: “What if my dreams don’t come true?”
“As long as you don’t give up and take care of your dreams, Singapore will take care of you,” his father replies.
Mr Shanmugam added: “I'm certain he will achieve his dreams if he gives his best in Singapore.”
National sprinter and SEA Games medallist Dipna Lim Prasad, criminal lawyer Josephus Tan, local band The Sam Willows’ Narelle Kheng and Jon Chua, and Mr Shanmugam himself also appeared in the video.

Gullible and daft sinkies believe in this propaganda crap. It is near election time, pleasant words and superficial action from them are all geared towards winning votes. After they win is different story. Remember that someone cried and said sorry during election campaign. Some daft sinkies believed him. After election, it is back to square one. Daft sinkies enjoy been con again and again.
