Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 1: Alex Yam on MINDEF’s plans and priorities
The Russia-Ukraine war has transcended territorial battlegrounds and spilled into the virtual realm of cyberwarfare and disinformation, shaping perceptions and narratives everywhere. Meanwhile, the Israel-Hamas war has left the world grappling for solutions in the face of entrenched divisions even within other countries’ borders and between communities. MP Alex Yam made these points in Parliament on Wednesday (Feb 28), saying we are witnessing “the evolution of warfare itself, where traditional boundaries between conventional and unconventional tactics now blur into obscurity”. He asked how the Ministry of Defence and Singapore Armed Forces are adapting their plans and priorities to the evolving threats that confront Singapore and how “we can collectively chart a course” towards a future defined not by conflict, but by cooperation and peace.
