SINGAPORE - Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat believes a more adversarial political system will not be good for Singapore.
"What is important is that having debated the options, we agree - let us do this, or let us do that." "I prefer to be a constructive problem solver," Mr Heng told Mr Teo, one of eight journalists who met him last Saturday as part of this year's Malaysian Journalists Visit Programme."If there are problems, let us work together to see how best we can solve them, in as constructive a way as possible, that can meet the needs of as many people as possible."
It is one in which every Singaporean feels that this is a country where they can realise their potential and fulfil their aspirations, Mr Heng said. "If we can work closely together to make sure that we do not end up with a financial crisis, and that if there is a financial crisis elsewhere in the world, we can all maintain our systems well, like what we did during the global financial crisis, I think that will enable us to continue to achieve progress," he said.
Ms Marlissa Mohammad Kamal of Sinar Harian asked how Singaporeans can treasure their racial and religious harmony, to which Mr Heng replied that they must celebrate diversity and promote deeper understanding among different faiths.
