Young girls in Singapore today grow up in a world that their grandmothers could not have imagined when they themselves were children. Women’s standing in Singapore has improved greatly. But we still need to make more progress in the way men and women treat each other, and the sort of society we want to be. That was why we launched the Conversations on Singapore Women’s Development last year.
This morning, I met virtually with some of the partners and participants involved in this major undertaking, at the closing session of the Conversations.
I talked about three issues which came up repeatedly: equal opportunities at the workplace, caregiver support, and protection for women. They reflect our fundamental values of taking care of one another in society, giving every individual a fair shot at success, and ensuring everyone receives equal protection in Singapore.
All of us must play our part, to enable Singapore women to participate to the full. Together, let us work towards our vision of a fairer, more inclusive society, where our daughters and sons can thrive in a better age.

Dalam ucapan bahasa Melayu Rapat Hari Kebangsaan saya malam tadi, saya tekankan bahawa pendidikan adalah kunci kepada usaha kita untuk membina masyarakat yang inklusif di Singapura. Dan lebih banyak bantuan harus disalurkan kepada pelajar yang ketinggalan.
Saya menggunakan kisah Siti (bukan nama sebenar) seorang graduan politeknik, dan adik-beradiknya untuk menggambarkan bagaimana pelajar-pelajar seperti Siti maju di sekolah, dengan sokongan pelbagai agensi Pemerintah serta rakan kerjasama di peringkat masyarakat untuk memberi bantuan kepada para pelajar dan keluarga yang kurang bernasib baik.
Setiap rakyat Singapura, tanpa mengira latar belakang, berhak mendapat peluang untuk berjaya. Dengan membantu mereka yang pada mulanya ketinggalan, kita menjayakan dasar meritokrasi dan maju bersama sebagai satu rakyat.

In my Malay National Day Rally speech last night, I emphasised that education is key to our efforts to build an inclusive society in Singapore. And that we need to pay extra attention to students who are falling behind.
I used the story of Siti (not her real name), a polytechnic graduate, and her siblings to illustrate how students like her have been able to do well in school, with help from many Government agencies and community partners who come together to support both disadvantaged students and their families.
Every Singaporean, regardless of background, deserves the chance to succeed. By helping those who are struggling, we make meritocracy work for all of us and enable everyone to progress together as one nation.

Before we go, some valuable quotes from Ayn Rand: "Today, racism is regarded as a crime if practiced by a majority—but as an inalienable right if practiced by a minority.... Remember also that the smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights, cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
JUDGE PEOPLE AS INDIVIDUALS, NOT THEIR RACE. Yes I am aware in this entire video I have addressed the 4 Millennials by their race only. This is because they were SPECIFICALLY chosen to be a part of this video to represent their race and to fulfil the diverse and racially inclusive CIMO quota of Singapore. They are reduced to their race as their immutable identit, not because they are there as qualified individuals by their own virtue. Edna is not there as Edna, Edna is there as "Eurasian girl". If they wish to speak for their racial group, then so be it, I will address you as speaker of your racial group.
Identity politics segregate society. There is no end to segregation, and you end up with the individual anyway - Watch: https://youtu.be/JpIpHOaN16M?t=21m1s

The University of Kent’s School of Music and Fine Art presents the Fine Art Degree Show 2016 in the extraordinary environment of The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, Kent, featuring the work of 26 graduating BA and MA Fine Art students.
Opening with a preview on Saturday May 21st, 1pm-5pm,

and music from artist Benedict Drew.
The exhibition is open to all and is free to attend.
Open to the public (10am-5pm):

Tuesday 24th May - Tuesday 31st May inclusive.
Continuing a tradition of showcasing bold, exploratory exhibitions curated by the University of Kent’s Fine Art students, framed by the stunning backdrop of one of the country’s most iconic locations, the Historic Dockyard Chatham, our visitors will encounter a broad range of artistic styles and media, an explosion of imagination and a celebration of art’s potential for society.
This exhibition offers the public a fascinating insight into contemporary art’s most recent practices and processes such as a ‘Grand Design’ home evolved by a hoarder, an oozing conversation with the earth, a system of tunnels, angry letters about Gillingham’s Samurai sent to Medway council, a Dockyard worker’s fall down a well as sculpture, personal Facebook data becomes food, a dream-like exploration of the car industry, hand movements translated into Fibonacci sound, an autobiographical feature length film made on a mobile phone and a performance where the rules of tennis are applied to an exam.
The Degree Show’s aim is to encourage audiences to explore the potential of Medway as a dynamic hub for art, with the School of Music and Fine Art as a major conduit for these activities, positively impacting on the community and offering imaginative suggestions and visionary strategies for cultural regeneration.
As well as involving students from Kent, and across the UK, this year’s Degree Show exhibitors include student artists from Iran, Thailand, China, Russia, Italy, Cyprus, Mexico, Hong Kong, Isle of Man and Ghana.
The Fine Art Degree Show exhibition catalogue features texts by academics across a range of University of Kent Schools: Emily Rosamond, Grant Pooke, Simon Smith, Howard Griffin and Rebecca Hobbs.
Degree Show visitors can attend a wide range of exciting educational activities. Young people attending can also participate in workshops with some of the exhibiting artists. On Tuesday 24h May and Wednesday 25th May Education Days will be held for local schools and colleges. Attendees will be able to view the Show and hear talks from the artists; they will also be encouraged to produce their own artwork in response to their experience of the Show. If you would like to bring a school, college or university group to this event (all ages welcome) please email mfaadmissions@kent.ac.uk
