Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 2: Desmond Choo on strengthening the Singapore Armed Forces
The wars in Ukraine and Gaza have shown how the nature of warfare continues to evolve. Both conflicts also have profound implications on the international order and can have trickle-down effects on small nations like Singapore. Making these points in parliament on Monday (Mar 3), MP Desmond Choo said Singapore has to remain vigilant and adaptable, integrating emerging technologies to build a military that can defend its sovereignty in times of need and which is prepared for all contingencies on the modern battlefield. He sought an update on the Ministry of Defence's plans and priorities to strengthen the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) in line with its SAF 2040 vision.
