MHA - Keeping A Colour-blind Kampung Spirit Alive

We Make SGSecure

Not if, but when — this hit close to the heart of a Singaporean who was caught up in a terror attack while holidaying in Thailand with her family. Her story, along with those of other Singaporeans, illustrates the need to be alert, united and strong in order to combat terrorism.

A Close Shave With Death

The horrors of terrorism hit without warning, reaching beyond geography and nationality. Few Singaporeans understand this as personally as Erawan Shrine bombing survivor Betty Ong. She recounts her brush with terror.
Vigilance Means Everyone Gets To Go Home
Singapore has not seen a terror attack on home soil for decades, but it most certainly is a target — in 2016 alone, the country was targeted by two ISIS-linked plots. We speak to Faizul Salamon, a Singaporean whose job is to safeguard one of its most visible landmarks.
Keeping A Colour Blind Kampung Spirit Alive
Building community cohesion through shared commonalities and mutual acceptance is necessary in religiously-diverse Singapore, and is an important part of its counter-terrorism approach. Three Singaporeans tell us how they work to contribute to cohesion in their everyday lives.
Resilience, The Heart Of A Lion
If a terror attack took place in Singapore today, only half of Singaporeans would know how to provide first aid, and even fewer can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We speak to two — a retiree and a millennial — who experienced first-hand how being prepared can savelives.
