According to the Prime Minister, the Government has placed great importance on manpower development of all ages as everyone is fundamental to comprehensive development and advancement of the nation. Children in their early childhood need to be comprehensively and equitably developed in all dimensions. Their talent and gift must be identified to enhance capacity and immunity to changes. They should be cared and nurtured at every stage, from the parents, family, school, and society in order to become quality citizens. It is also important to develop positive attitude toward the elderly people as they are still a key driving force in the national development with their potentials and self-reliance. The signing of the MOUs today would be an integration of the Government’s policies and strategic plans toward tangible actions.
The Prime Minister also underscored the elderly development approach or “4S”, which comprises: 1) Social Participation, 2) Social Security, 3) Strong Health, and 4) Smart Digital and Innovation, and the early childhood development approach or “5H”: 1) Heart, 2) Head, 3) Hand, 4) Health, and 5) Hi-tech. Under the integrated cooperation on lifelong human development, all sectors are urged to join forces in creating awareness and common understanding, as well as unity and love. Everyone must also get equitable access to public sector services.
In conclusion, the Prime Minister thanked all concerned parties for taking part in propelling lifelong human development operation in all dimensions, which would be greatly beneficial in the long run while the Government strives to do everything for the country and people to ensure that no one is left behind.
After the keynote speech, the Prime Minister visited an exhibition on Lifelong Human Development (Early Childhood and Elderly People), and greeted with the children and elderly people who attended the ceremony.
