Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Hazlina Abdul Halim on Singapore’s defence partnerships and Total Defence
In an increasingly complex and multipolar world, Singapore has to maintain the flexibility to work with multiple partners while preserving its sovereignty and independence. How will Singapore strengthen defence cooperation, not only with the US and China, but also with other key strategic partners in the region and beyond? MP Hazlina Abdul Halim raised this question, among others, in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). She also asked for an update on participation and outcomes from Total Defence-related activities and asked how the Ministry of Defence is planning to strengthen community engagement with defence.
