Total Defence
Total Defence is a concept introduced by the
government of Singapore in 1984 to improve readiness in matters related to the
defence and
national security of
Singapore, and is partly based on similar concepts in
Switzerland,
Denmark and
Sweden. In fact, the concept has very close similarities (including the “five aspects of Total Defence”, discussed below) to the 1972 adopted Total Defence concept in
Austria. This concept rests on the notion that the defence of the country cannot rely only on the regular
armed forces. Thus the concept declares that
government agencies,
private sector organisations and all
Singaporeans are to be involved in an effort to deal with security threats facing Singapore. It can be compared to the concept of
total war.
