My greatest hope for Singapore50 celebration
is that every Singaporean will be inspired
to send in their ideas,
to celebrate in their own special, unique ways.
Now everyone, whether a young person
starting life with a promising future ahead
or the pioneer generation who laid the foundation for Singapore's progress,
has an interesting story to tell.
Everyone has interesting memories and hopes, and by sharing this
we make our celebration richer and more inclusive.
Well, I think this is an important occasion where we start
our SG50 celebration, and I will really like that
this celebration be a celebration that is owned by all Singaporeans.
That all Singaporeans feel part of the celebration and take ownership of it.
That's why we have this open call for celebration,
so that when we celebrate Singapore50 next year,
it will not just be about the National Day Parade
but the whole year will be full of events that will
be initiated and carried out by Singaporeans.
And together we can celebrate our Golden Jubilee as one people.
