<div>Happy New Year everyone! <br> We’ve made steady progress this year, even though growth was slower. In our new phase, we need to strike a balance between the head and heart, whether in the Our Singapore Conversation, dealing with the population issue, or embracing the right values as we progress as one society. I talk about this in my New Year Message.<br> <br> Thanks also to all of you for your support on FB and Twitter this year. I have greatly enjoyed interacting with all of you, and reading your comments and messages. Wishing all Singaporeans a successful and fulfilling 2013 and beyond :) <br> <br> – LHL</div>
<div>It is raining cats and dogs now. Hope this will not spoil the count-down parties tonight. I will also be ringing in the New Year with Marine Parade residents. 2012 has been an eventful year for the world and Singapore. I think of Hurricane Sandy, Obama's re-election, leadership changes in NE Asia, civil war in Syria with innocent lives lost and life disrupted. I think of the Indian girl who was gang raped and died. I think of the train break-downs, the illegal strike by China bus drivers, the high profile sex scandals, the industrial accidents in Singapore. I cannot instantly think of good events to recall, not that they were none but that they were overwhelmed by the bad news. So as we welcome 2013, my wish is simply that it will be a better year for the world and Singapore. For you, I wish you good health, success in your studies, career and business, family happiness, peace of mind and luck as well (but not for gambling!). --- gct</div>
