Latest threat to Total Defence: Online rumours and smears

The New Paper
Monday, Aug 05, 2013

SINGAPORE - Distorted or false information, rumours and smears that surface on the Internet.

These make up the latest threat to Singapore's Total Defence efforts, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen warned on Friday.

The Straits Times Online reported Dr Ng as saying that those who intend Singapore harm would spread these "to weaken our resolve and cause disunity".

He added that online misinformation could spread widely during tense or volatile situations, and cause confusion and chaos.

"At worst, such (misinformation) could divide us and thwart our collective efforts to deal with the problem at hand," he said.

Dr Ng also said that the way Singaporeans helped each other during the 2003 Sars crisis and the recent haze episode gives people assurance that Singapore's Total Defence efforts are working.

He was speaking at this year's Total Defence Symposium at the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore hotel, where he presented awards to more than 500 organisations for their contributions to Total Defence.

In an earlier forum with employers, Senior Minister of State (Defence) Chan Chun Sing said that the Ministry of Defence would consider helping companies with Central Provident Fund contributions for their employees during their in-camp training.

In an earlier forum with employers, Minister of State (Defence) Chan Chun Sing said that Mindef would consider helping them with CPF contributions for their employees during their in-camp training periods.

"But we must be careful never to monetise the invaluable contributions by our NSmen and employers to Total Defence," he said.

Why are we paying these idiots such big money for stupidity like this? Online critique become a threat to national security? PAP security is not equal to national security.

So, what will the PAP do? Guess, they will launch Operation Peppertail, slapping the ISA on all online critique of the regime.

This is just to prep the populace for the next wave of prosecution against certain disagreeable elements online.

But it's ok to monetise their "contribution" to the country. :oIo::kma:

Exactly.

Tell Bargain Hen that in the US, there are thousands of criticisms expressed online and on TV talk shows against the US administration every day. Ditto in Western Europe. Do these governments at any point in time feel the criticisms jeopardize their national security? No, Nyet, Nein, Non.

I never really gave a fuck to Total Defence since I was a kid. Sure, there's the mandatory NS and excursions, talks and free TD stickers but I never cared for it. I saw early on it as a propagandist's crock of shit.
