Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 2: Wan Rizal on building psychologically resilient soldiers
What are the recent efforts to strengthen the mental resilience of Singapore’s soldiers? How are the resilience-building strategies incorporated into training to help them better manage stress and pressure? Beyond counselling services, are there plans to enhance peer support networks or introduce structured mental wellness programmes within Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) units? MP Wan Rizal raised these questions in parliament on Monday (Mar 3). He also wanted to know if technology could play a role in providing early mental health interventions to soldiers, and asked how the Ministry of Defence will continue to integrate psychological resilience into SAF training and support structures to ensure soldiers are mentally strong both during and after their service.
