“Our Six Pillars of Freedom”
The threats facing any nation in the world today can come in various forms. For a well-connected city-state like Singapore with limited depth and resources, the vulnerabilities to both physical and non-physical attacks are even greater. While the country’s foundation of Total Defence is well-defined and established, it is the understanding of this concept by the people that is key to the survival of Singapore during a crisis.
Military, Civil, Economic, Social Psychological and Digital Defence. Explore new ways to approach these principals and refresh your memory on why they are so crucial to our island-home.
This Total Defence Walk aims to explore the 6 pillars of defence within the city, and reinforce the ideas behind each pillar in a fun and engaging way
