total defence....

maybe its a load of bull s**t....

"Total Defence has five aspects - Military Defence, Civil Defence, Economic Defence, Social Defence and Psychological Defence. These five aspects represent the key sectors of society. They also help Singaporeans understand how they can be involved. When we take National Service seriously, volunteer in civil defence exercises, help build a strong economy, strengthen community ties with one another regardless of race and religion, and stay committed to defend the country, we are doing something in every sector of our society to strengthen Singapore's resilience as a nation."

the above taken from the total defence website.....

so one of it - (taken from website) social defence... 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.

hmm i wonder why we bother..... cos when you get old..... u are expected to go to a foreign land to live... till you die.... cos everything they say is cheaper there... some by half the cost!!! .... and they dust their hands off you....for good......

total defence? as one people?? who want to look out for another? what is there to protect? what is there to fight for? what social cohesion? what rights? whats anything to live for here??? is this my country??

give this total defence a thought.... not sure if there is anything to defend......

another useless thought
