SUSS Cheong Hee Kiat Lecture for Community Leadership 2026

We First Society

In an era of rapid change and increasing complexity, shaping tomorrow together has never been more essential. Strengthening unity and collective resilience is key to building a shared future for Singapore—one that depends on our renewed commitment to working collaboratively across society. Through shared responsibility and collective action, we can shape tomorrow together in ways that reflect our common aspirations and values.

Join us for the upcoming Cheong Hee Kiat Lecture on Community Leadership 2026, which builds on the vision set out in 2025 by placing the People Sector at the heart of the 3P framework. This year’s lecture explores what it means to be a “We First” society—one grounded in shared values, mutual care, and collective ownership. It envisions a Singapore where success is not achieved individually but is shaped together.

By highlighting the pivotal role of the People Sector in connecting ground‑up aspirations with national goals, the lecture underscores unity, resilience, and teamwork as enduring strengths. These are the qualities that will guide Singapore into its next chapter, as we continue shaping tomorrow together.
