My vision on how Singapore can stay "forever young" as a city is by having a stable economic growth which will eventually make Singapore a mature country. When Singapore is in its mature state, there would be a greater possibility of it to be "forever young". As long as a country manage to maintain its HDI(Human Development Index) high up, it shows that the country can stay "forever young".
The five points mentioned in Mr Teo's speech have set Singapore to be ready to stay "forever young". One of the points that I agree most is the third point, for Singapore to be vibrant global city - a city where people want to live, work, and play - it also has to be an environmentally sustainable city. Because of Singapore's exclusive eminence, Singapore has the opportunity to be one of the cities that is doing very well for its size. As Singapore grows to have bigger population, there should be more works available for the economic state of Singapore to increase. Singapore will continue to grow if there are more jobs created which would allow the citizens to contribute to the country's income. Even from now onwards, Singapore will continue to produce new ideas and create more things for the country to be able to be "forever young" in the eyes of the world.
Also, by hosting more world-class events such as the Youth Olympics and F1, Singapore can be more known throughout the entire world. By doing this, it might increase the chance of Singapore being world-widely known and therefore stays "forever young".
