Delighted to meet Indonesian Vice Minister of Finance Thomas Djiwandono, who is visiting Singapore under the S R Nathan Fellowship. We had an excellent discussion on the Singapore-Indonesia relationship and the ways that we can further deepen our cooperation. I wish Pak Thomas a fruitful visit to Singapore. go.gov.sg/orknql

Happy 6th birthday HTX! Glad to see on my visit yesterday the progress HTX has made. HTX is actively applying AI, robotics and other new tech to enhance Home Team capabilities. In this turbulent world where threats are evolving rapidly, the Home Team must make full use of technology to stay ahead of the game. I hope HTX will keep innovating to augment our Home Team’s capabilities in keeping Singapore safe and secure for many more years to come. go.gov.sg/jvpvtt

Today, we launched Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2030 Plan — the next chapter in strengthening our research and innovation ecosystem. We will deepen our capabilities in AI, data and computing, support key national priorities, and continue developing a strong and diverse talent base. RIE2030 will help Singapore be a place where people from diverse fields and backgrounds work together, push boundaries, and turn ideas into meaningful solutions — improving lives and sustaining our growth for the long term. go.gov.sg/6uf4xv

This morning, I joined Nadia Samdin and residents for the opening of the upgraded Cheng San Community Club. The upgraded Cheng San CC is not just a place where residents can do courses and activities, but also a safe and inclusive space for residents to come together. A big thank you to the team for making this project a success, and to our grassroots volunteers and donors for your support and contributions. go.gov.sg/loimlp

Happy to launch The Albatross File book and exhibition today. These documents and oral histories offer a vivid account of the tense months leading to Separation. I hope Singaporeans, young and old, will visit the exhibition and read the book to understand and experience our journey — how on 9 August 1965, we came to be, in the words of our Proclamation, “forever a sovereign democratic and independent nation.” They will realise Singapore was − and still is – a miracle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vsw2LzeiMM

The 33rd SEA Games in Thailand have officially opened. We are sending our largest contingent with 930 Team Singapore athletes from all over Singapore, including 46 from Ang Mo Kio GRC and seven from Teck Ghee. Our athletes have trained very hard for this moment. I hope they will take pride in representing Singapore, uphold the spirit of sportsmanship, and enjoy the Games. We are all cheering for you! 🇸🇬 go.gov.sg/j193bx

我记得那通电话。父亲在古鲁尼旅舍（Cluny Lodge）接电话时，我就在房里。我听到他用华语告诉吴庆瑞博士：“这是个重大的决定，让我考虑。”

《信天翁档案》以文件和口述历史详细记录了新加坡如何与马来西亚分家的全过程。

我也在常设展开幕和新书发布仪式上，阐述了这段历史。您可以到总理公署网站，阅读我的演讲原文，以及华文翻译: go.gov.sg/lhl-launch-albatrossfile

I will be on leave until the end of the year. Hope everyone gets to enjoy a well-deserved break and time with your loved ones this festive season. Will update if I spot anything interesting while I am away! go.gov.sg/znegm2

Enjoyed playing with a disposable film camera in Buenos Aires, Argentina recently. It was an interesting switch from phone and digital photography. Every shot requires careful thought. You have to slow down and be in the moment. go.gov.sg/eykczf

Well done to #OneTeamSG and our Ang Mo Kio GRC athletes at the 33rd SEA Games! Their grit and determination won us a 202 medal haul – bringing much joy as we mark #SG60. I hope our team of athletes gained valuable life experiences beyond medals during the Games, which will fuel their dreams and passions. Thank you for flying our flag high and displaying good sportsmanship. 🇸🇬 go.gov.sg/gjzhio

Before 2025 ends, let’s take a look at how we’ve been improving our estate in Teck Ghee, including repairs and redecoration works, and upgraded sheltered linkways. More improvements are on the way by Q2 2026. Let’s continue working together to make Teck Ghee a better place to live, work and play!

Arriving back at Changi from my short break, I caught a wefie with fellow passengers on the same SQ flight. Good to be home! Wishing all visitors a happy stay or smooth transit in Singapore. Hope all of you had a good Christmas too!

Enjoyed the festive atmosphere on a jalan-jalan at Gardens by the Bay over the weekend! It was great to see everyone having fun and making precious memories with their loved ones. go.gov.sg/hrn7so

As 2025 draws to a close, we have much to give thanks for. PM Lawrence Wong’s New Year Message (go.gov.sg/nym2026), reminds us that many tasks still lie ahead. I hope Singaporeans will stay united, care for one another, and continue building a prosperous and resilient nation for many years to come. Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year! https://go.gov.sg/3ny2m

Today marks the start of a brand new school year for many students. For the rest of us, many are settling back into work after the year-end break. May this new year bring everyone fulfillment and the promise of good things ahead. go.gov.sg/glek3f
