The PM apparently mentioned that anecdote in his speech.

Nice day for a walk. 2 of my colleagues usually go for a walk at lunch time and I thought I tagged along today. I might start doing that from now on since weather is getting better. I need the exercise!

80 parents turn up for first matchmaking session at Hong Lim Park
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080907/tap-355-80-parents-turn-matchmaking-sess-231650b.html
Channel NewsAsia - Monday, September 8
SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong first mooted the idea in his National Day Rally Chinese speech.
And now, for the first time in Singapore, dating agency Clique Wise has organised a matchmaking session, aimed solely at the parents.The usually quiet Hong Lim Park was bustling with activity, as over 80 eager parents turned up for the matchmaking party.
They may be camera—shy, but when it comes to finding a spouse for their child, they are anything but coy.
One parent said: "A girl normally is very shy, and more cautious than a boy. And so the parents should make the first move and you know, nudge her along."
When asked whether their daughter knew of their presence there, another parent said: "I told her, and she didn’t react, just gave her silent consent."
So it’s the daughters, it seems, who need help the most.
And these parents certainly came prepared — exchanging personal information such as job and educational histories, contact details, and photographs.
Most have children who are degree—holders in their mid—20s and 30s.
Organisers say the response had gone beyond their own expectations, and they are planning to hold more of such events in the future. — CNA/de
