Need to keep generating new growth, build fairer society: PM

It has been a long and hard fight against Covid-19 and, as Singapore enters a new year, the fight is not over yet, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in his New Year message. But he said the immediate tasks go beyond managing the pandemic, and Singapore must continue to generate new growth, new jobs and prosperity in a post-pandemic economy, as well as build a fairer society. To do so, the Government will need reliable and adequate revenues to carry out its social programmes.
