effects, influencing local radicalization or bringing. external threats to Singapore shores.

Economic: Able to build the country up again after being attacked.

Digital: Quite digitally advanced so when it comes to attempting to identify the attackers, our various cameras will help greatly.

Military: Armed forces are well-trained and equipped to deal with conventional threats.

Weaknesses

Psychological: Singapore has only recently began focusing on mental health (during Covid-19) so there is still insufficient mental health support.

Complacency: People have gotten complacent; the safety of Singapore is being taken for granted.

Economic: The country relies heavily on trade and business so a terrorist attack would largely impact the country’s incoming economy.

• Govt’s will to allocate necessary resources

• continuous education , like app, advertisement, which public will be fed with genuine info

• govt’s control of media , like national tv/radio and other social media platforms, which be used to achieve max outreach

• Stern laws

Fault lines:

• Lack of public ‘fore coming’

• Unique Singaporean’s KSness

• Being small in land mass and wide globalisation, whatever the form of attack, the impact will still be bad

military: -we are heavily reliant on technology as we have limited populations but are readily prepare to fight in the battleground. military defence could ensure that vest majority of the population are mentally equipped in looking out for terrorist activity. and the government pump in more money in counter-terrorism measures.

faultline

economic: when it comes to war and crisis economic can be the weakest link. singapore has the reaserve and during the pandemic, we had utitlised millions dollars resources. when it comes to terrorist attack. singapore might need more time to recover to its original state. to add on Singapore is heavily reliant on globalisation. therefore import and export will be affected.

1. Sg Total Defense has become an all-rounder response to the changing threats and challenges facing Singapore on all fronts.

2. Defence is not only up to the military but to all sectors of society including civilian from attacks, both military and non-military.

Weaknesses

1. The bystander effect - Diffusion of responsibility: When there are many people present, each individual may assume that someone else will take action and help the person in need. End up no one helps.

2. The friction between the government and business community over the financial and social costs of sustaining the defence sector. Some business leaders were reluctant to grant workers leave for reserve training.

3. At one point, 40% of Singaporeans thought that national service was a waste of time and money. Therefore, they will not put their heart and sweat in SG Total Defences.
