Total Defence Day

SINGAPORE – For 47 residents of Chua Chu Kang, Total Defence became not just someone else's responsibility when they met on Monday to brainstorm solutions ...

Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamed, who also attended the event, noted that Total Defence Day is commemorated on Feb 15 to mark the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in World War II. Their plans were presented to Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong at an event held at Chua Chu Kang Community Club on Wednesday to commemorate Total Defence Day. From students to community and business leaders, they were taking part in the first Total Defence Table-top Exercise, aimed at bringing members of the community together to develop plans that can be implemented at such times.
