A belated Happy National Day to all! In August, we marked another National Day amid the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. But we are in a better position this year, as we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Although this global crisis is not over yet, we can take comfort from the high vaccination rate in Singapore, which will protect our seniors and help us be COVID-19-resilient. I would like to thank all our residents who came forward to get vaccinated, as well as the countless others who encouraged their loved ones to do the same.
