1 July is SAF Day. Thank you to all NSF, NSMen & Regulars keeping Singapore safe.
[We will defend ourselves. Whoever else wants to defend us, I will say to them 'Thank you very much. But please remember I can defend myself and make no mistake about it.'
Unlike many other countries in the area, we form a very compact and neat target, and therefore a sneak aerial attack is a major preoccupation of any Defence Minister of Singapore. It is therefore our intention to ensure that such a sneak attack can never succeed.] ~ LKY 1968
