The Chinese have an old saying: not folding the waist for the five -bucket rice.Bone bones are important to Chinese intellectuals.We have our principles and our ideals. We hope that through our journalism, the country can continue to flourish, the rights of the people are safe and full of life.In order to strengthen our own internal conditions, we also hope that this area and even the world can develop peacefully and sustainable.Don't think that we are facing stress, and our backs are not straight, and it is impossible for us to give up the principle of the agenda of other countries.
Prime Minister Li Xianlong, the respective guest of the honor, the President of the Congress, the political leaders of the Congress, the envoys of various countries, the experts and scholars of the country, the leaders of business, business, and cultural and educational;
Today is the Mid -Autumn Festival. Thank you for enjoying the light and spending this full moon night with Lianhe Morning Post to celebrate the Bailian Hua Hua with us.
It is nothing in the long history of a hundred years, but because of the serious impact of traditional media around the world, you must face the shrinking when you cannot find a new way of business.I feel extremely honored.Operating in such difficult environments, and continuing to maintain credibility, reporting and commenting on the world balanced, we also deeply feel the unusual weight on our shoulders.
At the end of 2021, the new newspaper media trust was established as a non -profit organization.We have obtained the funding of the country to fund us to improve technology, protect mother tongue media, and cultivate media talents.This reduces a considerable part of our pressure.On the day of the September 6 Morning Post, Mr. Huang Xuncai, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, gave the Morning Post to affirm and promised that the government would fully support us, which gave us a strong needle.When we heard it, our hearts shouted "Receive" when we were born.Because this allows us to focus on the production of high -quality news, and highlight our advantages as public products.
When we restructuring, many people's questions are whether the government's funding will affect the independence of our editorial affairs.The assumptions of suspects are that our journalists are welcoming the benefits of the benefit of the benefits of greed.
From the beginning, Mr. Xu Wenyuan, chairman of the new newspaper media trust, reminded us that if we become the government, or even the political party media, we will not be abandoned by readers.In order to successfully complete the task, he asked us to maintain the fairness, professionalism, and the independence of the press room.
From restructuring to the present, I can tell everyone honestly that our operation has not been different because of the government's funding.I think the consensus between us and the government is that once the mainstream media loses credibility, it will be a great loss to Singapore.
The Chinese have an old saying: do not fold the waist for the five -bucket rice.Bone bones are important to Chinese intellectuals.We have our principles and our ideals. We hope that through our journalism, the country can continue to flourish, the rights of the people are safe and full of life.
In order to strengthen our own internal conditions, we also hope that this area and even the world can develop peacefully and sustainable.Don't think that we are facing stress, and our backs are not straight, and it is impossible for us to give up the principle of the agenda of other countries.
Lianhe Zaobao believes that we should show different sound rationally.The purpose of doing this is to connect the major readers who read Chinese in the world. The more, the better.
Today's century -old dinner, we invited news ministers, joint morning newspapers, and our predecessor Nanyang Business Daily and Xingzhou Daily, and old colleagues who participated in our oral historical visits to participateEssenceIn addition to the current high school and director responsible for the entertainment, we have also made special arrangements to invite old colleagues who have served for more than 25 years and are still working at work.They include reporters, editors, photographers, artists, administrative assistants, as well as insiders and accident car drivers.Being able to go through a century, Lianhe Zaobao is not just a pen in a certain person, but the entire team.Today, at least a quarter or more time in the Morning Post has their youth.In fact, many people dedicate to the youth to the Chinese newspaper for a lifetime.
I want to invite all the Morning Newspaper people, who have left, retired, still served, old, young, and thought that the colleagues of the Morning Newsletter rose.Thank you for your youth, and thank you for our team.I also want to thank the family of the Morning Post.Sometimes the work of journalists is really unusual. When I am busy, I will do it day and night, and the six relatives do not recognize it.Thank you for your long -term consideration and support.They are our important support forces.
Our editor -in -chief Lin Renjun said that the Morning Post began to surf the Internet in 1995, and he was inadvertently inserted.For nearly 30 years, the development of network technology has brought us new opportunities and allowed us to participate in the Chinese media world more deeply.Because Singapore needs to survive, it must look at the world; Lianhe Zaobao has to look forward when walking through the first hundred years, and dare to give yourself a more grand and long -term goal.We have to move towards the next century, and we must also see a world larger than Singapore, becoming a Chinese media that can bring value to the world.
I often tell my colleagues that even if we can't do it now, we must dare to imagine.Imagination, planning, and deployment, we need to implement step by step, we cannot be lucky.The media industry is the operation of the entire industry chain. In addition to the editorial department, it also needs technology, sales, market, promotion, and so on.
The concept and policy of Lianhe Zaobao, the editor -in -chief Wu Xindi wrote clearly in the "Reader's Book" on September 6.We are pursuing the future, we must understand and feel the past.We need to improve their technical capabilities, provided that there must be connotation and depth.To do something, what we need is talent.On the one hand, we recruit bilingual or multi -language news talents from all over the world as us; on the other hand, we must also actively cultivate local media talents.
At present, we also cooperate with the University of Reuters of Oxford University and the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University to launch a exchange plan.Next, we will also expand the training plan of journalists, discuss the deputy courses of Chinese media with local universities, and cooperate with foreign universities in the training of animation talents.
Out of our own exercises, it is very important to get the continued support of you.I said earlier that government funding reduces part of our pressure -it is part of it.Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said at our 80 -year report that Lianhe Morning Post is a national business.We need all sectors of the society to join forces to make Singapore have a good reputation, credible and reliable public product -Lianhe Zaobao.
By the way, if you are used to reading the paper version, please continue to subscribe to us.You can also download our apps at the same time and subscribe to our online content.
More importantly, the Morning Post must continue to move forward. It is inseparable from the support and love of the reader. With your spur, criticism and correctness, the joint morning newspaper can improve the improvement and take a big step in the second century.Bring value to the world.
Thank you again.I wish you all the health and happiness.
