SINGAPORE — Cities must evolve and adapt to survive in an ever changing world and there is "no such thing as status quo", said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong during the Parliamentary debate on the President's Address on Thursday (May 17).
"We are either improving or we are declining and going backwards… So the choice for Singapore is simple – adapt or perish," said Mr Wong as he laid out the Government's blueprint to build a better city, one that is more innovative, inclusive and resilient.
