Is Our Defence Force Weakening? Singapore Armed Force The Recent News Articles

Singapore Armed Force Singapore Armed Force SAF consists of a total of 3 branches. It is dependent on a huge group of conscripted soldiers in the active and reserve forces. It has the ability to mobilize over 300,000 reserves and it has an active force of 72,500 for the defence of Singapore.

SINGAPORE ARMED FORCE Cases of NS Men Collapsing: Reasons Complete change in lifestyle and difficulty in adapting; too pampered. Obesity of the younger generations; diet problem. Tedious physical and endurance training. Medical check-ups unable to detect underlying heart conditions.

SINGAPORE ARMED FORCE Cases of NS Men collapsing: Consequences NS men will be given training which are less tedious so as to prevent fatal incidents in occurring again. Weaken the defence force of the country. Make Singapore vulnerable to other countries. Create doubts and lack of security in Singaporeans towards the defence force. Cause a bad reputation of the defence force due to consecutive deaths of NS men.

SINGAPORE ARMED FORCE Advancement in Weapons Singapore replacing old weapons for new ones. The local Air Force adopts strong training service components through training overseas. Singapore also has a maintenance component to ensure that the airplanes are being maintained carefully.

RECENT NEWS ARTICLES Mas Selamat’s Escape: Consequences Locals living in fear and insecurity. Loss of complete trust towards the security system in Singapore. Loss of tourism in Singapore as tourists feared that they will get involved in the terrorists attacks.

RECENT NEWS ARTICLES Cases of Illegal immigrants living in Singapore: Causes Illegal immigrants all come to Singapore as the economies of our regional countries deteriorate. They will hope to seek jobs in Singapore to earn a living.

RECENT NEWS ARTICLES Cases of Illegal immigrants living in Singapore: Consequences Much manpower and resources are wasted to prevent the entry of the illegal immigrants. Too many offenders leading to the overcrowding of prisons. Traffic in illegal workers might explode if the region's economic crisis continues.

CONCLUSION WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS? We can see that Singapore does have her strength and weaknesses in the different areas of defence. Defence can be stronger in the area of advancing Of weapons, yet weaker when it comes to dealing With terrorist attacks. In conclusion, we believe That everyone has their part to play in peace and Security in the country through defence. WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS?
