[SINGAPORE] A more open and participatory society will strengthen Singapore, even though there will be divergent views and disagreements, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Calling on Singaporeans to contribute to shaping solutions for the country, he said this will allow them to have a sense of ownership and responsibility, strengthening the social compact and fostering a deeper sense of belonging. Their suggestions have directly shaped key policy changes and the Forward Singapore agenda in the last year or two, said PM Wong. The Government has listened, even though it does not always agree on every suggestion. Sometimes, it may agree on the intent, but needs more time to work through trade-offs. At other times, the ideas need to be fleshed out into good policies, added PM Wong. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/pm-wong-committed-govt-citizen-partnership-says-more-open-society-will-strengthen-singapore   (ICE SINGAPORE)
