新加坡新內閣“成團”
將繼續帶領新加坡“乘風破浪”
7月25日晚，全新的新加坡政府內閣分兩個地點宣誓就職，李顯龍將繼續出任政府總理，內閣名單也在早先宣布。 新內閣中，出任政治職務者爲37人，平均年齡52歲。在16個政府部門中，有7位部長進行了調整，但多數是平行位移。另外，有六名第一次當選的議員也被受委政治職務，尤其是直接出任總理公署部長的馬林百列集選區當選議員陳詩龍醫生。 
新內閣名單在內閣宣誓就職儀式後，李顯龍總理向全國發表講話，表示感謝選民對人民行動黨團隊的信任，“將全力以赴，負責任地行使委托權，幫助國人解決生活上的困難，同時努力尋求新的機遇，讓我國經濟盡快複蘇。” 李顯龍總理表示，新一屆政府是目前他能所召集的“最強陣容”，新政府將繼續全力對抗冠病疫情，保障人民的健康和安全，同時，也將保障就業作爲當務之急，政府認爲“最好的策略是把資源放在建立新的優勢和能力上，開拓新的領域，創造新的就業機會，借此幫助那些面臨困境的企業和工友轉戰新興領域。工友也會獲得協助接受培訓，以勝任這些新的工作。” 李總理還談到，除了繼續應對的經濟危機，政府也要爲瞬息萬變的未來做好長期規劃，繼續鞏固和加強國家基礎，並建設一個公正、平等和包容的社會，讓新加坡在危機過後能更加穩定強韌。 同時，新政府也要繼續把新加坡建設成一個“公正、平等和包容的社會，讓國人不分種族、言語和宗教，不論家世背景，都能享有同等的機會，取得成功和實現自己的理想。” 在談到反對黨時，李顯龍總理認爲選民希望人民行動黨繼續執政，但也希望在國會裏有更多元化的聲音，針對政策和計劃展開更激烈的辯論。本屆國會將有12位反對黨議員，是近年來最多的。同時，也會有指定的反對黨領袖。“希望能夠看到一個忠誠而負責任的反對黨，不僅是對政策提出疑問和批評，而是能夠進一步提出具體、可行的替代方案。這才有助于國人理解新加坡所面對的各種抉擇和其中的利弊得失。同時，也讓政府能夠制定更加完善的政策，造福人民。” 最後，李顯龍總理也表示“即便擁有不同的理念，我們始終都是新加坡人，都是一家人。新一屆內閣已經展開工作，政府將分秒必爭，致力讓新加坡早日走出陰霾，和全民一起爲更美好的明天而奮鬥。” 
新加坡眼評論：新加坡新一屆政府目前的首要目標，依然是對抗疫情和保障就業。這兩項任務都是非常艱巨而複雜的。尤其是保障就業方面，新加坡政府之前已經撥出了大筆款項幫助失業人士，但是仍不能解決實際問題，因此，政府也慢慢由“授之以魚”轉向“授之以漁”，將更多精力投入爲國人創造更多新的工作領域和工作機會上。我們相信，在新一屆政府的領導下，新加坡一定能乘風破浪繼續前進。 附：李顯龍總理講話中英文全文2020 07 27 李顯龍在新內閣就職儀式後的講話
各位同胞，大家晚上好。
過去六個月，大家生活不易，全民一心對抗冠病疫情和應付經濟危機。整體上，我國疫情已經受到控制，所以我們能夠逐漸複工、複業和複課。希望接下來的日子裏，社區病例能維持在低個位數。不過，冠病將是一個長期的問題，它會持續影響我國經濟和社會的發展，並對我們的生計和生活帶來挑戰。
2020全國大選塵埃落定，我和我的團隊感謝並虛心接受選民給我們明確的委托。我們將全力以赴，負責任地行使委托權，幫助國人解決生活上的困難，同時努力尋求新的機遇，讓我國經濟盡快複蘇。
我們的當務之急就是保障就業。爲此，全國就業理事會已經馬不停蹄地展開工作，協助失業的工友。而一些工友會需要一段時間才能找到新的工作。此外，阻斷期雖然結束了，但是爲了保障工友的健康，一些領域要全面複工還需要一段時間，因爲政府有許多方面需要考量，以免疫情反彈。特別是建築業。我們正竭盡所能確保客工和工友的居住以及工作情況是安全的，以降低他們感染病毒的風險。因此，我籲請承包商了解政府的考量。政府會盡全力幫助這些公司逐步開工，並提供援助讓它們能夠重新站穩腳跟。我們也必須做好准備，一些行業將不複以往，而政府也不可能一直支援它們。爲了我國的長遠發展，我們認爲更好的策略是把資源放在建立新的優勢和能力上，開拓新的領域，創造新的就業機會，借此幫助那些面臨困境的企業和工友轉戰新興領域。工友也會獲得協助接受培訓，以勝任這些新的工作。
我們的目標，不只是度過眼前的危機，我們還必須爲瞬息萬變的未來做長期規劃。所以，我們必須繼續鞏固和加強基礎，讓我國在危機過後更加穩定，更加強韌，人民的生活也有所提升。
發展經濟固然很重要，但我們也要建設一個公正、平等和包容的社會，讓國人不分種族、言語和宗教，不論家世背景，都能享有同等的機會，取得成功和實現自己的理想。
新加坡社會的繁榮與進步，也取決于政治體制的穩定發展。這次的選舉結果顯示，人民希望行動黨繼續執政，但也要國會裏有更多元化的聲音，針對政策和計劃展開更激烈的辯論。本屆國會將有12位反對黨議員，是近年來最多的。同時，也會有指定的反對黨領袖。國會複會後，我希望議員們能夠提出實質的內容，展開有建設性的辯論，在重要課題上爲選民發聲。我也希望看到一個忠誠而負責任的反對黨，不僅是對政策提出疑問和批評，而是能夠進一步提出具體、可行的替代方案。這才有助于國人理解我國所面對的各種抉擇和其中的利弊得失。同時，也讓我們能夠制定更加完善的政策，造福人民。
新加坡要長治久安，繁榮發展，除了需要能幹的領導團隊，更需要團結一致的人民。即便擁有不同的理念，我們始終都是新加坡人，都是一家人。新一屆內閣已經展開工作，我們將分秒必爭，致力讓新加坡早日走出陰霾，和全民一起爲更美好的明天而奮鬥。
Speech in English by PM Lee Hsien Loong at the Swearing-in Ceremony on 27 July 2020
Singaporeans have just gone through a crucial General Election, held in the midst of a tremendous crisis. We have been through six difficult months, dealing with COVID-19, and the economic downturn precipitated by the virus. I called this election to give the government a fresh mandate and a full term, to deal with the difficult months and years that still lie ahead.
Singaporeans understood what was at stake. They considered carefully what the candidates and parties had to offer. And on Polling Day, voters turned out in full strength. They gave the PAP a clear mandate to form the government.
My team and I are humbled that Singaporeans have entrusted us with this heavy responsibility. We will use our mandate to act on your behalf, vigorously and unremittingly, to deal with the challenges ahead, and lead Singapore out of the crisis.
The work of our new Cabinet and government has already begun. The elections are behind us. Whatever our political persuasions, never forget that we are first and foremost Singaporeans. Let us all unite and focus our energies on the major challenges ahead.
Big Challenges Ahead
On the public health front, COVID-19 remains a serious problem. The global situation has taken a further turn for the worse, with both new infections and deaths continuing to climb. Even cities that initially brought the virus under control, like Hong Kong and Seoul, have suffered repeat outbreaks, after they eased safe distancing measures and reopened their economies. It shows just how difficult it will be for Singapore to keep ourselves free from the virus. And this is why, as we gradually restore economic activity, re-open our borders, and resume our lives, we are also building up our capacities to test and contact trace, so that we can identify and stamp out new outbreaks quickly. But each one of us still needs to play our own part, stay vigilant, practise safe distancing and minimise social interactions. That is how we can protect the health and the lives of our loved ones, especially our elderly.
At the same time, we have to get our economy going again. This is an enormous task. In the second quarter, our GDP shrank a record 12.6% year on year. The four Budgets this year have staved off the worst of the damage. But we have kept companies afloat, and minimised retrenchments so far. But economic conditions will continue to be difficult, and we must expect to lose many more jobs. We will do our best to save as many as we can, and help workers who still lose their jobs to find new work. The National Jobs Council is urgently working with the unions, business associations and government agencies on this vital task.
We will also help businesses that have been shut down by COVID-19 to start up again. In particular, the construction sector has been badly affected by the outbreak in the migrant worker dormitories. We have almost completed testing all the migrant workers in the dorms, and clearing the dorms of COVID-19. And we are exerting maximum effort to establish safe living and working conditions, so that the workers can get back to work as soon as possible, while keeping the virus in check. But it is a very complicated task, and despite our best efforts, will take a few weeks more to complete. In the meantime, the government will lighten the burden of levies and fees on their employers, and help them get back on their feet. This is only fair to the employers. Many of them are small sub-contractors. They are bearing a disproportionate share of the burden of keeping all of us safe from COVID-19.
Then there are sectors that have been hard hit by the closure of international borders, like tourism and aviation. Their recoveries will be slow. They rely heavily on the international market, without a large domestic market to buffer them. But we are determined to help these sectors pull through, as they are linked to many other parts of our economy. That is why the government put aside close to $2 billion in the Budgets to support them.
We must also be prepared that some industries will not return to what they were before. Then the government will face difficult choices, and so will the businesses themselves. We cannot afford to prop up failing industries indefinitely, or trap workers in jobs that are no longer viable. The better, long-term solution is to invest our resources to develop new capabilities, grow new industries and create new jobs. Then we can help firms in declining industries to reinvent themselves or pivot to other fields of business. We will also help workers in these industries reskill for the new jobs created. We were already doing this even before COVID-19, through SkillsFuture. But now the urgency is greater, and we must redouble our efforts.
Looking towards the future
Beyond the ongoing crisis, the government must also keep our eyes firmly on the future. One day, the pandemic will be over, and the economic crisis will pass. When that day comes, we have to be ready for the post-COVID-19 world. Our aim is not just to survive the storm, but also to set the long-term direction for our country. We must keep on improving Singapore, year after year, generation after generation.
Thus, we must press on with transforming our economy and upgrading our skills, working with our tripartite partners. This will help Singaporeans make the most of new opportunities, cope with new uncertainties, and improve their lives.
And beyond economic prosperity, we must also fulfil the broader ambitions Singaporeans have for our country. We aspire to be a fair and just society, with opportunities for all. We wish to fashion an inclusive community, where we look out for one another, reach out to those who need help, and show every Singaporean that they have a stake in our future. We want to make this a home where Singaporeans always believe that their children will have better lives than themselves, and the human spirit can flourish. This is the nation we are building together.
To achieve these hopes and dreams, our political system must continue to work well for Singapore. The election has shown a strong desire amongst Singaporeans for greater diversity of views in politics. Voters want the PAP to form the government, but they also want more robust debate of policies and plans. This trend is here to stay. We have to give expression to it, and evolve our political system to accommodate it, while maintaining our cohesion and sense of national purpose.
This new Parliament will have a total of 12 Opposition MPs, the largest number in recent history. Ten are constituency MPs from the Workers’ Party, and two are NCMPs from the Progress Singapore Party. We will formally designate a Leader of the Opposition, and provide him with staff support and resources to perform his role.
I look forward to more vigorous but constructive debates in Parliament. I hope our colleagues across the aisle will step up to play their role of a responsible and loyal opposition. Their duty is not merely to raise criticisms and ask questions of the government, necessary as these functions are. But also, more importantly, to put forward serious policy alternatives to be scrutinised and debated. This way, we can help voters better understand the issues, choices and trade-offs. And in the process, improve policies and plans, and deliver better outcomes for Singapore.
Assembling a strong team for Singapore
Good politics depends not only on sound institutions, but also on high quality political leadership. More than other countries, Singapore needs leaders who are capable and committed, men and women who have the courage of their convictions, who command the respect of Singaporeans and who can mobilise the population to achieve great things together.
In this election, you have voted for me and my PAP team. With your mandate, I have formed the strongest Cabinet I could, to take Singapore through this crisis and beyond. The Cabinet I have formed is a multiracial team, reflective of our multiracial society. 7 out of 20 full ministers are non-Chinese. We have been sworn in before the President, with the Chief Justice in attendance, who both belong to minority communities. There can be no more vivid demonstration of how our meritocratic system works, and the lengths we have gone to, to ensure equal treatment and opportunities for every citizen, regardless of race, language or religion.
My Cabinet also includes Ministers and office holders from successive generations. The more senior ones have seen Singapore through past crises, and can offer valuable guidance and views to help overcome the challenges we now face. The younger Ministers are increasingly taking the lead, setting the agenda and engaging Singaporeans, for example through the SG Together movement and the Emerging Stronger Conversations. They have also been leading our COVID-19 response, and gained confidence dealing with the complex challenges of the pandemic. The new office holders will bring with them fresh ideas and perspectives, and work hard to master the issues. It is a team that Singaporeans can be confident in, and one that will walk with you every step of this journey.
Madam President, I have spent my entire adult life in public service. I will continue to devote myself to my country and people, drawing strength and purpose from the support of Singaporeans, young and old. My aim is to see through this crisis, and hand over Singapore, intact and in working order, into good hands who can take the country further forward. I ask Singaporeans to extend to the younger Ministers the same support that you have given me all these years.
But leadership renewal is a never-ending task. We continue to need more good people from every generation to step forward, stand for election, and serve our country. Singapore must have leaders who can take the rough and tumble of politics, and who will commit all their energies to work and fight for what they believe in. Only with an exceptional leadership team, working closely with Singaporeans, can we continue to stand out in the world.
Conclusion
We have achieved what few countries have in our 55 years since independence. A peaceful, multiracial society. Vastly better lives for all. Emerging stronger, and resolving to do better, after every crisis that has hit us. Let us now come together as one Singapore. Keep improving our lives, securing our future and building a nation we can all be proud to call home. Thank you.
