SPEECH BY PRIME MINISTER MR. LEE KUAN YEW
You were not bred and drilled to be a parade army. Yours is a much sombre assignment.
I wish you good fortune in your careers. May the trust which the people of Singapore
have placed in you be jealously guarded. May our people’s honour and freedom never be in
jeopardy in your young but competent hands.
