The National Day Rally (not to be confused with the National Day Message and National Day Parade :) ) will be held on 17 August. I will be talking about the challenges we face, how we plan to address them, and our vision for Singapore's future.

Each year, I invite leaders and representatives of different groups to the Rally. This year, I have decided to reserve some seats for you - the ones following me on social media.

If you are interested in coming, find out more from this video. Hope to hear from you soon! - LHL

Interested participants are invited to give their reasons why they would like to be invited, then hashtag it with #InviteMeToNDR, before emailing the link and their IC number to ndr@pmo.gov.sg
