Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Chong Kee Hiong on engaging youth on defence issues
In Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29), MP Chong Kee Hiong asked the Ministry of Defence to elaborate on its efforts in ensuring that Singapore’s youth are engaged on defence issues. He pointed out that it is particularly important to encourage the participation of younger Singaporeans who may find the topic of defence “unfamiliar, distant and unrelatable”. “When they have gained a deeper understanding, they would be more interested in how they can play a part in defending their homeland at different stages of their lives as they grow up,” he said.
