CDA launches time capsule as part of 10th anniversary celebrations
SINGAPORE : The Civil Defence Academy (CDA) is celebrating its
10th anniversary this year. As part of the celebrations, Deputy Prime
Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kang Seng launched a time
capsule on Friday evening.
The capsule contains mementos, photographs and training materials to commemorate the academy's first 10 years.
The capsule will be opened in 2034 when the CDA turns 35.
The minister also said that training for officers will receive a
boost when the first phase of construction on a 30-hectare Home Team
Tactical Centre at Mandai Road is completed in April 2012.
He added that the new tactical centre will be a comprehensive training
facility customised to meet the future training needs of both the
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the Singapore Police Force. -
