Total Defence resonates to me because, as a Singaporean NPCC cadet, i feel that it is compulsory to know all the 6 pillars and what is the meaning and purpose behind them.

This lesson made me an effective cadet leader as i got to present to people that i don’t even know and it helped me built up my confidence.

Total defence needs every citizen to play a part in protecting the country and making sure that everyone is well protected in the country. digital defence also represents that we will have to be careful online with scams or strangers texting randomly.

this lesson allow me to gain new knowledge on singapore total defence and boost my confidence. i will be better in rephrasing the sentence and presenting them with more confidence.
