When: Tuesday, Sept 8
Why memorable: PM Lee came across as both national leader and statesman in his hour-long speech, as he exhorted voters to back the right party so the country would continue to succeed for the next 50 years.
He spoke about the importance of leadership renewal, cited examples of his government's successes, touched on external threats such as terrorism, and promised to work with Singaporeans to build a better country.
He also went on the offensive against opposition parties, and turned their argument on its head. Saying it was "perverse" to vote for the opposition to make the PAP work harder, he called on voters to vote for his party and make the opposition work harder.
Quote: "Opposition - not working hard enough. They make a mess of things, they are not active enough in Parliament, they are really talking not much sense. Vote PAP, make the opposition work harder.
