55th National Day

Having transformed from a Third to First World nation in slightly more than half a century, Singapore today is confronted with a similar set of challenges while facing Covid-19. How can it transform itself to stay relevant for the next 50 years?

Dr Loo Choon Yong, chairman of Raffles Medical Group, says he has never experienced a crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic in his half a century as a healthcare professional.

The Singapore spirit has shone through brightly amidst a global pandemic that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide. But Singaporeans have rallied to do their bit to give back, spread kindness and pay it forward.
