NDR 2025: 4 things PM Lawrence Wong is set to address, Singapore News
In a Facebook post on Friday afternoon, PM Wong offered a preview of his speech, saying that he will be sharing more about the government's plans for the economy, the young and seniors.
PM Wong will also talk about how Singapore will chart its way forward beyond SG60.
The uncertain economic outlook, and the need for Singapore to rise above the new challenges has been a recurring theme since General Election 2025.
During the swearing-in of the new Cabinet on May 23, PM Wong reiterated that developing a new economic blueprint to sustain Singapore's competitive advantage and creating good jobs for Singaporeans is a priority for the Government.
Earlier in August, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong unveiled five new committees to strengthen Singapore's economic relevance amid geopolitical and technological uncertainties.
DPM Gan, who also heads the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, also detailed Singapore's Economic Strategy Review (ESR) which will chart a "forward-looking economic blueprint" to sharpen Singapore's economic competitiveness and deepen its economic resilience.
More recently, PM said in his National Day message on Aug 8 that Singapore will refresh its economic strategy to "stay ahead" and "remain exceptional".
Given the correlation between the economy and jobs, this is expectedly a key area of interest for Singaporeans - both fresh graduates, and those in the workforce.
The National Day Rally will be broadcast on local TV channels and radio stations, and will also be live streamed on the YouTube channels of PM Wong and the Prime Minister's Office.
Live updates on the rally will also be available on PM Wong's WhatsApp and Telegram channels.

NDR 2025: New govt-funded traineeship scheme for ITE, poly, university graduates
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Follow our live coverage here. SINGAPORE - ITE, polytechnic and university graduates can soon tap a new government-funded traineeship scheme aimed at beefing up employability for young Singaporeans and giving them more career choices. The initiative will expand from the one first introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, when many companies had stopped hiring for full-time jobs , but some were prepared to give traineeships. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, in his Rally speech on Aug 17, said the traineeships gave fresh graduates a chance to gain real world experience. 'They received an allowance during the training. And they could keep their skills sharp, so that when the economy recovered, they would be in a better position to secure full-time jobs,' he added. Today, firms continue to provide traineeship opportunities, but government support will mean more training opportunities, he added. 'So we will launch a new government-funded traineeship programme – for ITE, polytechnic and university graduates... and if the economy worsens, we will scale up the programme.' PM Wong added that a task force will provide details soon. The Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce - helmed by Deputy Prime Minister and Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong - was formed earlier in 2025. It will explore ways to help businesses and workers navigate uncertainties arising from US President Donald Trump's tariff policies, and uneven global trade winds. One trainee who found success after a traineeship, PM Wong said, is Ms Syainda Abdul Halil. She graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in 2021, in the thick of the pandemic, and after doing well during a traineeship stint at financial services firm JP Morgan, was offered a full-time job. Ms Syainda, who was just promoted to the role of associate technology project manager, also fell in love with a fellow trainee, and is now married, PM Wong added. This time, the scheme will be a rolled out with a key focus, as part of efforts to grow the economy and create good jobs for Singaporeans, he added. PM Wong said young Singaporeans harbour concerns about the uncertain economic climate. 'After graduation, I know many are concerned about jobs – especially with the current economic uncertainty.' The new scheme will provide fresh graduates an avenue to explore different career pathways, and feel supported at the same time.' Young Singaporeans are no longer limited to traditional career options, and have more diverse pathways to pursue their interests and chase their dreams, he added. They have more pathways to explore , from start-ups and social enterprises to the arts, sports and creative industries, or even striking out on their own as content creators and changemakers in their communities. PM Wong said: 'There's no single route to success. What matters is that they feel supported - to grow, to experiment, to take risks, and find their own way forward. 'That's what the Government will do – we will back you with opportunities, resources and guidance.' Apart from jobs, the Government will continue to focus on areas important to young Singaporeans - such as housing and parenting. More Housing Board flats with higher subsidies have been built, PM Wong said, and initiatives like more leave for young parents and help to reduce parenting costs have been rolled out. For example, HDB said it will increase subsidies for four Prime projects in Bukit Merah, Toa Payoh and Clementi, to keep the Build-To-Order (BTO) flats affordable for more Singaporeans. In his Budget speech in February, PM Wong also spoke about initiatives aimed at large families, for instance, up to $16,000 in additional support for each third and subsequent child born on or after Feb 18. Parents-to-be will also get a total of 30 weeks of government-paid parental leave by April 1, 2026. PM Wong added that the Government is studying additional measures to better support Singaporeans through every stage of their life. For students and young Singaporeans, growing up is not easy today, he added. He said: 'The world today can feel overwhelming. The future, at times, distant and unclear. But I say to you - do not fear. You are not alone on this journey. 'We see you, we hear you, and we will walk with you - every step of the way. To all young Singaporeans, Go forth, chase your rainbow, and blaze your own trail.' Watch PM Wong's National Day Rally speech here:

NDR 2025: Vaping will be treated as a drug issue; much stiffer penalties to be imposed, says PM Wong
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox PM Lawrence Wong said much tougher actions will be taken against vaping. Follow our live coverage here. SINGAPORE - The Government will take much tougher actions against vaping and treat this as a drug issue with stiffer penalties to be imposed, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. In his National Day Rally speech on Aug 17, PM Wong said every generation worries about negative influences impacting their young people. He said new risks will emerge and vaping is a serious concern. Addressing the vaping scourge for the first time, PM Wong said vaping is banned in Singapore. But people are still smuggling vapes in, and finding ways to get around the law. He added: 'Many of these vapes are laced with addictive and harmful substances like etomidate. So the vapes themselves are just the delivery devices. The real danger is what's inside. 'Right now, it's etomidate. In future, it could be something worse – stronger or far more dangerous drugs.'

Vaping has been banned since 2018. Under current laws, possessing, using or buying vapes carries a maximum fine of $2,000. But PM Wong said imposing a fine is no longer enough. 'We will treat this as a drug issue, and impose much stiffer penalties. That means jail sentences and more severe punishments for those who sell vapes with harmful substances,' he said. PM Wong said supervision and rehabilitation will be given to those addicted to vapes to help them quit. 'We will step up nation-wide enforcement. And we will mount a major public education drive – starting in schools and the institutes of higher learning, and also during National Service,' he said. While the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health will lead the efforts, this will be a robust whole-of-government exercise, said PM Wong, 'The agencies have already started, and the ministries concerned will then share more details soon,' he added. PM Wong's comments on vaping follow The Straits Times' launch of its anti-vaping campaign on July 13 called Vaping: The Invisible Crisis . Since then, the government has escalated its anti-vaping measures. On July 20, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said the authorities were working to list etomidate under the Misuse of Drugs Act. MHA is expected to do so soon as an interim measure while MOH continues to study further legislative action. This paves the way for abusers and traffickers of vapes laced with etomidate, or Kpods, to be treated in the same way as those who abuse or traffic drugs with mandatory rehabilitation and jail time for repeat offenders. Currently, etomidate is listed under the Poisons Act. Under this law, abusers face only a fine. Etomidate is meant for use only during medical procedures. When vaped, it enters the lungs directly, potentially triggering spasms, breathing difficulties, seizures and even psychosis. On July 30, Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said his ministry will second its officers to HSA. Aside from enforcement, they will also help in the supervision, treatment and rehabilitation of abusers. On Aug 13, HSA said it was working with Hong Kong's Department of Health (DOH) to tackle vaping by exchanging information and expertise with each other. On the same day, ST reported HSA had recently advertised job openings for investigators specifically to crack down on Kpods. More than 800 people have since applied for the job. And on Aug 14, MOH and HSA said more than 100 people were under investigation for offences involving vapes. The public can report vaping offences to the Tobacco Regulation Branch on 6684-2036 or 6684-2037 from 9am to 9pm daily, or online at Those who need help to quit vaping can join the Health Promotion Board's I Quit programme by calling the QuitLine on 1800-438-2000. The authorities have said those who voluntarily seek support to quit vaping will not face any penalties for doing so. Watch PM Wong's National Day Rally speech here:

NDR 2025: CDCs to spearhead new effort to match job seekers to roles nearer to home, says PM Wong
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The move is part of wider efforts meant to create good jobs for Singaporeans of all ages and career stage to flourish. Follow our live coverage here. SINGAPORE – Job seekers looking to work nearer to their homes will be matched to suitable vacancies in or around the towns they live in under a new initiative Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on Aug 17. The initiative will be led by Community Development Councils (CDCs), owing to their strong networks with local merchants, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as community partners, said PM Wong at the 2025 National Day Rally. 'So they are well placed to match job seekers with vacancies – especially those who prefer to work closer to home,' he added. The move is part of wider efforts meant to create good jobs for Singaporeans of all ages and career stage to flourish, riding on technological advancements such as in artificial intelligence, that PM Wong outlined in his speech. 'Ultimately, our economic strategy is about jobs, jobs and jobs – that's our number one priority.' The mayors who chair the five CDCs will share more details on the new job-matching initiative.

He also gave an update on enhancements to the SkillsFuture Level Up programme . The programme was launched in 2024 to give mid-career Singaporeans aged 40 and above a boost in keeping up with rapidly changing employer needs. It comprises a $4,000 top-up in SkillsFuture credits and a monthly training allowance of up to $3,000 for up to 24 months, initially for select full-time, higher-quality courses. Moving forward, the Government will allow a portion of the training allowance to be claimed for part-time courses, PM Wong said in his rally speech. In his Budget 2025 speech in February, he previously announced that a $300 training allowance would be provided to selected part-time studies from early 2026, in an extension to the level-up programme. More courses will qualify for support under the programme as well. PM Wong said: 'Currently, most of the courses are offered by the institutes of higher learning. 'We will... include more quality courses offered by industry leaders and private training providers.' PM Wong cited Mr Vinoth Nanda Kumaran, 41, as a positive example of how the Government's programmes helps mid-career workers. Mr Vinoth Nanda Kumaran used his SkillsFuture credits to pursue a diploma in data engineering. PHOTO: COURTESY OF VINOTH NANDA KUMARAN Mr Kumaran, who has previous stints in logistics and as a private hire driver, is a football fan who started analysing match data to predict how his favourite teams would perform, PM Wong said. 'That sparked a deeper interest in the world of data science and he used his SkillsFuture credits to pursue a diploma in data engineering.' Mr Kumaran graduated from his diploma in 2024 and is now studying part-time for a business analytics degree at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). He has also clinched a job at the university as a business intelligence developer, PM Wong noted. 'This is what our economic strategy is all about – helping every worker progress and succeed.' To do so, Singapore must keep building a dynamic economy that creates good jobs and better lives for all Singaporeans, he said. 'We may not be able to match other countries in size or scale, but we will stay ahead in ideas, in innovation, and in our collective will to move forward – together as one united people.'
