Building on the success of last year’s campaign which posed the question to Singaporeans “What Will You Defend?”, the Total Defence campaign in 2010 calls Singaporeans to action with its theme “I Will” – a personal pledge to do something to defend what we hold dear. Moving from reflection to action, the 2010 campaign aims to encourage Singaporeans to make a commitment and act on it, individually and collectively as a community. It could be a pledge to learn a personal skill, take better care of the environment, donate blood, help other Singaporeans or simply to keep fit.
Introduced in 1984, Total Defence provides the framework for a comprehensive and integrated response to deal with all kinds of threats and challenges, by bringing together all Singaporeans in a coordinated effort. Singaporeans can play their role in the five aspects of Total Defence – Military Defence, Civil Defence, Economic Defence, Social Defence and Psychological Defence. When Singaporeans all take personal responsibility for, and participate in, protecting the Singaporean way of life, they are playing their part to help keep Singapore secure.
Total Defence about the different things that we can do everyday in every sector of our society to strengthen our resilience as a nation. When we take National Service seriously, participate in civil emergency exercises, upgrade our skills, build strong bonds with different races and religions, and feel the pride of being Singaporean, we contribute to Total Defence.
