Congratulations and well done on donning your first graduation hat! I wish all of you a very bright future ahead. go.gov.sg/mitzn8

Had an excellent discussion with Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa of East Java on the longstanding and fruitful ties between Singapore and her home province this afternoon.

While in Singapore, she will engage a wide range of public and private sector stakeholders on our cooperation with East Java. I am confident that her visit will open up new possibilities for further collaboration and mutual progress. go.gov.sg/mg1nfh

Tried the “mate” drink (kosong, or without sugar) before a gym workout in Buenos Aires last month. A healthy way to start the day! :) Taking less sugar and exercising are small but important steps to prevent diabetes. This World Diabetes Day, let us remind ourselves and our loved ones to stay active, build healthy eating habits, and work towards a #HealthierSG. go.gov.sg/k8z9dk

It was a privilege to catch up with NS officers and commanders at the Reservist Officers’ Staff Course dinner last night. Many SAF NS officers attended the ROSC, to prepare them for higher appointments. Though new courses have succeeded the ROSC, the SAF’s efforts to constantly train and upgrade the Operationally Ready National Servicemen continues. I wish my fellow officers good health and happiness in their pursuits. go.gov.sg/68ar74

Glad to catch up with Joko Widodo over breakfast this morning. We last met in Bogor in April 2024.

I worked closely with Pak Jokowi for 10 years to strengthen Singapore-Indonesia ties. We have navigated challenges and celebrated successes together, and built on the work of our predecessors. It has been a rewarding journey, and I am happy to see this bilateral relationship continuing to grow and expand.

The year-end school holidays are here! A good time to plan and make the most of the coming weeks. Many families are venturing beyond their estates to explore new playgrounds across Singapore. There is a wonderful array, from dinosaurs to water play — our playgrounds have certainly come a long way!

I hope all of you find ways to recharge with your loved ones, and cherish the moments together. Have a good break!

Met a number of residents at the Kebun Baru MPS last night with their MP Henry Kwek. Some have the support of their families, while others are soldiering on on their own. I was struck by their efforts to overcome their difficulties, and their trust in their MP and government to walk with them.

We will continue to do our best to help residents as they try to make good of the situations they are in. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16aLqBnPh1/
