Govt promoting Total Defence in 2010 again:
MILITARY DEFENCE
"Singaporeans keeping Singapore secure"
Deterring aggression
The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is a strong defence force that is able to deter anyone from thinking of attacking the country. The SAF draws its strength from the support of every Singaporean - national servicemen, families, friends, colleagues and employers.
Staying operationally ready
National Service is the only workable option to ensure our security. When National Servicemen (NSmen) and full-time NSmen (NSFs) take their training seriously, they help keep the SAF strong and operationally ready. Our operational readiness is also maintained by ensuring that all equipment is in good working order all the time, and keeping up with the latest advancements in technology to meet new challenges in the battlefield.
Able to meet all kinds of challenges
The SAF has widened its capabilities to deal with non-conventional threats such as terrorist bombings, hijackings, and chemical, biological and radiological attacks. The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the SAF will continue to work with other security agencies to deal with such threats.
CIVIL DEFENCE
"Taking care of your family, friends, and people around you in times of crisis"
Knowing what to do during civil emergencies
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) recruits and trains civil defence volunteers in first aid, rescue and evacuation procedures, and shelter management. The SCDF also conducts talks and exercises to familiarise the public with basic first aid, the nearest bomb shelters and emergency arrangements like relief supply of critical items such as blood, water and food. Participating in such exercises helps us to be prepared. When we know what to do, we can help to save lives and property, and ensure that life goes on as normally as possible in times of crisis.
Alert at all times
The threat of global terrorism will be around for some time. Much has already been done to ensure that Singapore is well protected against terrorist attacks, but security personnel cannot be everywhere. Singaporeans can help by looking out for, and reporting, anything suspicious.
ECONOMIC DEFENCE
"Working and saving to achieve a better life for everyone"
Staying relevant and competitive through rapid change and development
When we upgrade our skills and knowledge, it helps us to stay relevant and employable in this rapidly changing world. Our ability to embrace lifelong learning and re-training is vital to keeping our economy competitive.
Putting in place robust economic systems that can continue to function in times of crisis
When the foundation of our economy is strong, our economy will not break down so easily in times of war or crisis. Sound policies and practices help us withstand external shocks. Putting in place measures to keep businesses running and maintaining stockpiles of essential items also help to keep our economy going.
Making Singapore livable for future generations
By saving electricity and water, and by adopting environment-friendly practices as a way of daily life, we are helping to conserve energy and to protect our environment. As a result, Singapore will continue to be livable for future generations.
SOCIAL DEFENCE
"Living in harmony, looking out for one another"
Singaporeans of all races and religions living and working together in harmony
Maintaining racial and religious harmony is critical to ensuring peace and stability in Singapore. When Singaporeans understand and are sensitive to the cultures and traditions of one another, and build strong bonds across different ethnic groups, we help strengthen social cohesion.
Looking out for one another
As one people, we have a duty to contribute to the community by helping the less fortunate and underprivileged among us, regardless of their race, language, religion, age or nationality. By doing so, we can further strengthen social cohesion, and build a gracious, compassionate society.
PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFENCE
"Singaporean and proud of it"
Loyal and committed to our country
When Singaporeans are united in pride and passion for our country, we will stand up to defend what is ours and protect our independence as a nation.
Having the will and resilience to overcome challenges
Whatever the crisis or challenge, our ability to overcome challenges depends on how mentally strong we are. It is this will and the commitment of our people that will decide how strong we are as a nation.
What do you think, netizens?

I'm saying if the slogan is used again for next year 2011?
1) NS pay too low.
Increase to min $1k per mth for recruit ns boys.
2) Dont waste the boys time.
Reduce the ns to 1 year.
Sporean boys want to come out to work. To help parents pay the ever increasing cost.
Think?? what is there to think?
First of all, if war came, can our ah gua boys defence us or not?
If not, we better go for Toto defence, go buy toto and hope for the best.

within a kilometere range, an asian ah gua soldier can spot a big size American or Aussie soldier and can kill him instant, and the big size aussie or american may not even see the thin asian ah gua who is more nimble, more flexible in hide and seek and certainly more quiet in his footstep and breathing.

OMG!
I agree we need army to deter potential threats. Many ppl will argue that we are only an island full of ppl and who the hell want to take this country? I went through 1997 when Indonesia is in crisis and I saw with my own eye how they rape and kill the local Chinese. I saw thousands of Indonesian Chinese crowding our ports and were allowed entry to Spore without visa or even passports. This is the first time I realise we can be so vulnerable if we are unable to protect ourself.
Indonesia tried to take Singapore through distabilzation before, remember the bombing at McDonald House? We need soldiers that can and will defend Singapore from everything.

Angel, stop insulting Singaprean guys, they have gone through sweats and blood giving the best time of their life to this country. They definately are able to defend this country if the need arise.
I used to work for an Indian boss who are very critical abt Singaporean especially when we try applying for reservist leave. He make jokes abt Singapore boys, including our size. He was on a business trip back to Indian and was caught in the Terrorist attack in Mumbai and was almost killed if not from the bravery of our Spore colleagues. We certainly know how to protect ourself with the military training knowledge if we are face with situation like this.

Oh Really!! but my experiences with them are totally different, in taiwan, when i was a nun in a mountain temple, a group of Singaporean soldiers came and rest at our court, not only they are smelly and dirty, they also disturb we, the young nuns there, they thot i cannot understand english or their cantonese, bloody hell, kick them out the temple...some more my abbotress gave them some porridge to eat and they still can disturb us, then when i scolded them back in Singlish, all run like ah gua like this, that indian sergeant it the first to run and fell down.
