The annual National Day Rally is a chance for the Prime Minister to address Singaporeans and make announcements about the pressing issues of the day.

For example, in 2017 PM Lee addressed three broad topics: The importance of preschools, the war against diabetes and building a Smart Nation. A post-speech study showed that almost half of Singaporeans polled were neutral about the speech.

While there has been no indication as to what Lee will discuss in this year’s Rally, recent hot issues include the SingHealth cyber attack, relations with Malaysia and leadership succession.

What do you think PM Lee should address? Vote in the poll below and leave a comment if none of the options fit.

Malaysia outraged at Meta takedown of media's Facebook posts on PM's Hamas meeting
Malaysia's communications minister expressed outrage at Meta Platforms on Tuesday, demanding it explain why it had taken down Facebook posts by local media covering the prime minister's meeting this week with a Hamas leader. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas in Qatar on Monday and later stressed that though he had good relations with the group's political leaders, he had no involvement in its military apparatus. Muslim-majority Malaysia, a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, has sent a letter asking Meta to explain the takedown of posts by two media organisations about Anwar's meeting, and closed the Facebook account of a third outlet covering Palestinian issues.
