In his address, Lee thanked the attendees and shared a personal anecdote about his humble approach to public service, emphasizing his primary goal is to serve the people and leave a legacy of development rather than seeking the spotlight. He reiterated his commitment to improving elder care, proposing an upgrade to the senior citizen card policy. This includes allocating 300 of the 600 points for use at convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and for medical expenses, making the benefit more practical for daily life.

Lee also outlined five major healthcare policies, specifically mentioning plans to assist En Chu Kong Hospital with its expansion project in Sanxia. He aims to strengthen cooperation with other medical institutions like Tucheng Hospital and Far Eastern Memorial Hospital to enhance healthcare capacity in the southern Xinbei region. Furthermore, Lee expressed his intention to develop Sanxia's riverside areas into recreational and tourist spaces, integrating local cultural attractions like Sanxia Old Street and the Museum of Ceramics to boost regional development.
