During the May Day Rally in Singapore, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong gave a rousing speech addressing the challenges that the country faces in attracting foreign investment.

Wong highlighted the importance of investing in human capital, including the education and training of workers, to create a highly skilled workforce that can compete in a global economy. He also emphasized the need to continually innovate and stay ahead of the curve in terms of technology and infrastructure, as well as the importance of developing a sustainable economy that can withstand the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
