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.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year! https://go.gov.sg/3ny2m

Had a good time catching up over lunch with HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of the Kingdom of Thailand. We talked about developments in science and technology, the multifaceted partnership between Thailand and Singapore, and expanding our cooperation into new areas. I thanked Princess Sirindhorn for her support for National Research Foundation’s efforts to nurture the next generation of scientists, and wished her a fruitful visit in Singapore. go.gov.sg/gk3nxc

Happy to catch up with The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Canada’s former Prime Minister, and Mary Ng, Canada’s former Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, during their visit to Singapore.

Becoming a singer, a runner, a vet – these were just some of the dreams students shared with me. I met them during the Edusave Bursary and CCC Awards Presentation Ceremony over the weekend. It was heartwarming to see the bright faces of our young achievers and to meet the families who have supported them on their journey. Congratulations to all recipients! Keep dreaming big, stay curious, and remember that your family, teachers and peers are rooting for you! go.gov.sg/y7r0ou

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr Liu Thai Ker. Thai Ker’s bold vision and architectural gifts have shaped Singapore’s cityscape. They have helped a small island state like ours create the space for our economy to grow, and for our people to live, work, and play in harmony. Together with others of his generation, Thai Ker transformed Singapore and took us on a path that few had dared imagine. We mourn the loss of one of Singapore’s sons. go.gov.sg/e9h6zp
