To manage the Republic's engagement with other parts of the world, Singaporeans believe that the 4G leadership should prioritise making the nation relevant to key partners and building coalitions of support.
Nearly 75 per cent of more than 1,300 respondents felt that this priority was at least "moderately important", according to an online survey conducted by the PAP Policy Forum (PPF) from Nov 24 to 29.
On Dec 2, Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo revealed the survey results at a PPF dialogue at The Star Performing Arts Centre.
Referring to late Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, she said: "The survey questions were based on a selection of Mr Lee's core beliefs how he thought about Singapore's international engagements, why he did what he did and the consequences that he believed would ensue as a result." The dialogue was the last in a three-part series by the PPF to commemorate the birth centenary of Mr Lee, Singapore's founding prime minister, and mark PPF's effort to drive change for the country's future.
The PPF serves as a platform for People's Action Party members to understand policies and strengthen trust with their leaders.
Mrs Teo added that survey respondents from the general public, including PAP members, were asked to rank three factors they believe contributed most to Singapore's current international standing.
