His speech:

"Singapore is a meritocracy and these men have reason to the top

by their own merits and their hard work and high-performance if all under 300 meritocrats are on the plane and to crash in one jumbo jet then Singapore way disintegrate.

I make no apologies for collection the most talented team I could find without them

none of you would be enjoyed life today . In Singapore I say this without any compulsion on

one lesson wishing I learned from form RI as being important in the way I subsequently govern Singapore

I believe completely in meritocracy system. I am not interested in who your father and mother is

Or save in life, what religion or language and how good they are in life.

how well they are perform depend perform and how much they give back to the society

I am a fortune product of RI (Raffles Institution) system

I commend for those who come after me to uphold the fine traditions of meritocracy

Not only in school life but in what every fields endeavour, they subsequently find themselves pursuing

but in what are our future and our their subsequent trying themselves"
