  19. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson In the Silver Module, we shall learn about Total Defence as an ongoing activity • at the national level and • our roles at the individual level.

  20. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson At the national level, there are various Total Defence agencies that oversee and actively promote each of the five aspects. Let us take a look at who they are and what they do:

  21. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson Military Defence At the national level, Military Defence is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), involving both our National Servicemen (NSmen and full-time NSmen) and regulars. Training is key to the SAF remaining fighting fit and maintaining its high state of operational readiness. Our Military Defence is also strengthened by our defence industries’ capacity to meet the SAF’s weapons and ammunition requirements.

  22. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson • Civil Defence At the national level, Civil Defence provides for the safety and basic needs of Singaporeans during emergencies or on the home-front during wartime so that life can go on as normally as possible. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in the Ministry of Home Affairs is at the forefront of these efforts. Some of its programmes include training the civilian population in rescue work, evacuation, first aid and damage control, as well as familiarising them with procedures for survival and protection, and with arrangements for relief services and emergency supply of critical items like blood, water and food. The SCDF has in place a comprehensive network of volunteers in the Grassroots organisations who help in organising Civil Defence-related activities and exercises for water and food rationing, bomb shelters and public warning systems.

  23. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson • Economic Defence At the national level, Economic Defence involves building up a well-trained labour force and economic resilience so that our economy has strong fundamentals and is able to withstand external shocks. The Ministry of Trade and Industry plays a key role in promoting higher and stable levels of economic growth and employment, so that all Singaporeans have amply opportunity to improve their standards of living. It facilitates the development of industry sectors with strong growth potential, protects Singapore’s international trade interests and provides a good understanding of the current state and outlook for the Singapore economy for policy formulation and refinement. The Ministry of Manpower plays an active role in promoting the importance of skills upgrading and life-long learning so as to maintain one’s employability. Annually, it organises a Singapore Learning Festival which aims to promote the spirit of life-long learning among Singaporeans. It also works with partners such as the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and various community development councils (CDCs) on skills retraining programmes, job-matching schemes and job fairs.

  24. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson Social Defence Social Defence is about Singaporeans of all races and religions living and working together in harmony. At the national level, the People’s Association (PA) and the various grassroots organisations and CDCs actively drive efforts to promote this. On 21 July each year, we commemorate Racial Harmony Day to remind Singaporeans never to take racial and religious harmony for granted. Our ethnic self-help groups (e.g., SINDA, CDAC, MUIS), whose volunteers help the needy within their own communities, are encouraged to collaborate on joint projects to promote multi-racial interaction and cooperation.

  25. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson • Psychological Defence Psychological Defence is about having pride, passion and patriotism for our country. At the national level, the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) drives efforts to build up this sense of passion and pride through the promotion of our national symbols and songs, and a host of other activities that appeal to the hearts and minds of Singaporeans. Under MICA, the National Heritage Board (NHB) and its various museums (e.g., Singapore History Museum, Singapore Art Museum, Asian Civilisations Museum) play a part in promoting a greater appreciation of our heritage and culture through various activities at the museums and in the community. The National Arts Council (also under MICA) also plays a role in fostering a more vibrant arts scene that enriches and builds up our Singapore identity, culture and spirit.

  26. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson TOTAL DEFENCE DAY — 15 FEBRUARY Each year on 15 February, we commemorate Total Defence Day, which marks the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in 1942. Total Defence Day reminds us of the importance of self-reliance in our defence and the role that everyone plays in it.

  27. Total Defence (Silver) Module Lesson In the previous section, we have looked at how various agencies promote efforts in Total Defence at the National Level. In this section, we will take a look at what can be done at the individual level.
