Caught up with Alex Yeo, Cassandra Lee, and David Hoe – three of our first-term Members of Parliament – over lunch. Stepping up to contest elections as a candidate is never an easy decision. I am delighted they decided to do so, and their residents have elected them. I look forward to joining them and our Parliamentary colleagues at the swearing-in when Parliament opens on 5 Sept. go.gov.sg/vgwqbu

Today, we celebrate Racial Harmony Day. Let us not take for granted the peace and harmony that we’ve worked hard to cultivate and build over many years. We may look different, speak different languages, and have different cultural practices, but we are one united people. go.gov.sg/93f7au

Went for a #jalanjalan at the Singapore Botanic Gardens over the weekend and took in the light displays.

Had the pleasure of visiting Burhani Mosque today, which is at the centre of the Dawoodi Bohras community life. Despite being a small group of about 1,000, Dawoodi Bohras have made many contributions to our country. Our model of harmony has given all groups – regardless of race, language or religion − the space and opportunity to thrive and give back to society. go.gov.sg/w6o8y6
