However, acknowledging the challenges posed by climate change, natural disasters, and increasing competition, Lam stressed the need for a robust, streamlined and efficient political system to navigate them.
Investing substantially in education, health care and culture is essential, he asserted, underlining the importance of nurturing well-rounded individuals who can propel national development in this new era.
