Singapore is “prepared and ready for what is going to come” in the Year of the Dragon, assured Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

He also noted that despite the expected economic slowdown in Singapore, the government will continue to improve the well-being of Singaporeans in areas like housing, education and transportation.

“Within Singapore we should continue to build, to develop, to prepare ourselves and our next generation for the future,” said PM Lee.

“Whether it's improving our schools so that our children can be well educated, whether it's improving our MRT so we can carry more passengers... whether it's building more HDB flats so that young couples getting married can get their flats without too long a wait, at an affordable price, and be able to move in, settle down and I hope have some babies,” he added.
