“It is upon the backdrop of a seismic shift in global affairs that Singaporeans now make an important decision on who is to be part of the team in parliament to lead us forward through this new world order,” he said.
He then added that Singapore must not be distracted by “petty arguments and useless talk”.
Instead, he said, we must focus on the foundation that will allow us not just to survive, but to thrive as we navigate these uncharted waters.
“And that foundation is the trust and confidence we have in our leadership; it is the knowledge that our government will lead us from the front with integrity, transparency and accountability.
“Not by pushing policies and making decisions from an ivory tower, unaware of the situation of the citizens on the ground.”
Mr Nathan concluded by urging Singaporeans to “not just to vote for anyone”.
He said: “Vote for your home, vote for your children, vote for Singapore, vote for People’s Power Party.”
