Heng Chee How on security of communications at international events
Participants at international events and conferences, including those attended by military personnel and Government leaders and officials, do not as a rule expect the host country to provide secured means of communications. Even if a host country is to offer such means, it is questionable whether foreign participants are comfortable using it. Foreign guests who need to transmit sensitive information will typically arrange their own secured means. This is the practice of officials of the Ministry of Defence and Singapore Armed Forces when they attend meetings overseas. Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How said this in reply to an MP’s question in Parliament on Tuesday (Apr 2).
