Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Denise Phua on understanding Total Defence
Many Singaporeans are familiar with the six pillars of Total Defence - military, civil, economic, social, digital and psychological - but how many are aware of the relevance of each pillar, especially in everyday life? This was a question put forward by MP Denise Phua in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3). She asked if the Ministry of Defence could provide further clarity and how, in light of Budget 2022, resources will be differently applied.
