Total Defence
-
We all have a part to play in the Total Defence of Singapore. After September 11 we are face with a clear and present danger of terrorism. I am wondering if forumers in militarynuts have notice any problems with our current security arrangement or have any suggestions to make for improvement. Please contribute your ideas. Thanks

With so many foreigners, PRs in this country do you think the strategy of Total Defence can still work?
There will be alot of confusion and real citizens are the only ones left to defend the state. -
Bangladeshi had 2 terror attacks
makes me wonder about the safety of singapore , since we hire citizens from there to work here -
That is a valid worry. The question is do we screen foreign workers for any links to terrorists before we bring them to Singapore? Because i understand that sometimes when these workers are brought here to work such as construction workers as stated in their work permit, they end up working as something else like cleaners in HDB estates or at food centres. This makes tracking them difficult.

so far.. no terror attack on ethnic chinese coutries. Coz chinese cbf's about blowing themselves up. We just gotta watch out for the extremist islamists. Pretty much any muslim is a potential bomber..

Most of these foreign workers have been brought up in a different system and culture than Singapore's. Strikes, riots and protests are a way of life for some of them in their home country. It does not take a genius to figure out that there is a potential threat given that these foreign workers are simple minded people who can easily be manipulated by foreign powers or by their own governments whenever there are disputes between Singapore and their home country. You mention that it is already hard to track down exactly the these workers as the numbers become bigger over the years. And who knows if any of them have terror links?
It just takes one small group to stir up trouble and instigate a protest or a riot and it can turn into a full scale nightmare for Singapore. Imagine a few thousand protesters and rioters running amok through Orchard Road.
The irony of it all is that our police or armed forces may not be equipped to handle such a situation given the peace we have enjoyed over the years. -

We are at the last of the list but if there's any opportunity for them to kill , they will kill -
