Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Rachel Ong on engaging the young on defence and security
Singapore’s younger generations have grown up in peace and prosperity, which could make it harder for them to relate to issues of defence and security, especially as modern-day threats are more ambiguous and less tangible. Making that point in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3), MP Rachel Ong asked what efforts the Ministry of Defence has undertaken to engage young people on such matters.
