Singapore is our home and like what video said, we own what we can defend so everyone must play a part to defend it one way or another. Everyone regardless of race, language or religion must protect Singapore as not just on one group of people can protect it.

its important as we would be ready incase of a world-wide crisis which puts everything in danger

Singapore is a small country. Due to the fact that we have a small population, we cannot simply pick out the fittest people for the army, for we will end up with far too little. Therefore for us to have a proper resistance against attacks, everyone must be involved. Only then can we form an army of a proper size. Those such as children who cannot fight must also be involved in any way possible, for reasons earlier mentioned. In our case, we teach them how to avoid getting kidnapped and what to do if a fire starts. We cannot let these things decimate us. After all, if we all die, who will join the army? Some may complain about the army, but in a choice of whether people suffer or everybody dies, the government chooses the first.

It is because it is very easy for other countries to attack.

Singapore has no natural resources and space, therefore

it would be very easy for other countries to attack singapore.

Other than military strength, we have to be strong in all other areas

as we will not be easily attacked in other ways.

So that we can know how to react when there is a real war,we will know how to face it mentally and physically.

Singapore is our home and we, as citizens must protect what is rightfully ours and maintain our Singapore spirit in times of crisis and not let anyone take over our homeland. Singapore is so small and depends on other countries for resources. Our main resources is our people and the people must stay together and fight against people who try to crumble our society or hurt our loved ones. If any of us back down, it will further encourage other Singaporeans to do so.

Singapore is a small country and they do not have enough resources, so they made use of the people to protect Singapore.

If we don't protect Singapore, no one will. Once we don't protect Singapore, it will be vulnerable to attacks

Singapore is a small country. It has a small population base and no natural resources. It is a multi-racial and multi-religious society, if Singapore does not make use of its population, this would make Singapore vulnerable not only to military attacks, but also to exploitation of our economic, social, political or psychological weaknesses by those who may wish to do us harm.
