Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's 2022 National Day Message. The message was recorded at Gardens by the Bay and telecast on 8 August 2022.

As long as we stay united and resolute, we can keep our nation peaceful and secure, build a more prosperous economy, and forge an inclusive society that all of us can belong to and can be proud of, for many years to come.

We held up through this trial, to emerge stronger and more united. Second, the invasion violates fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity under the United Nations Charter. This is particularly vital to Singapore, because these principles underpin our security, and even our existence.
