Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 1: Alex Yam on MINDEF’s plans and priorities
The war in Ukraine has “tipped the world order on its head” and is a stark reminder that the global landscape is becoming more contested, said MP Alex Yam in Parliament on Friday (Feb 24). He also noted the great power rivalry playing out in Singapore’s backyard, along with the evolution in threats and asymmetric warfare. At home, Singapore faces a shrinking population and is seeking to transform its armed forces. Mr Yam asked the Ministry of Defence for an update on its plans and priorities in light of all these challenges.
