We will keep social mobility alive by giving every Singaporean the chance to develop to their fullest potential, caring for the vulnerable and empowering them to pursue their hopes and dreams. We will uplift families in need, and support persons with disabilities. In Singapore, birth does not dictate destiny, and no one will be left behind. President Tharman Shanmugaratnam delivered his opening address at the First Session of the 15th Parliament on 5 September 2025.
