TTD answers!!! :) :O :P :> :D

1.It is what we, Singaporeans, regardless of race or religion, do in our everyday lives to strengthen our resilience as one nation. This includes every aspect and sector of society.



2.First, as a young nation with a small population, we cannot afford to maintain a regular armed force. So we need to involve every Singaporean to multiply our defence capability. Second, the nature of modern warfare has changed. Wars are no longer limited to the battlefield. Instead, potential aggressors can strike in less obvious, non-military ways.



3.When we take National Service seriously, participate in civil emergency exercise (e.g. Emergency Fire Drills, Bomb Shelter Open House etc.), constantly upgrading our skills to become adaptable to the changing market needs, participating in inter-racial activities & educational outreach programmes, we are already taking part in Total Defence.
