Over the past years, we have seen how our way of life can be affected by different forms of threats and challenges – the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war, ongoing geopolitical tensions, terrorism, natural disasters and climate change. These events, whether near or far, have highlighted the need for us to stay united and be resilient, so as to be ready for any crisis or disruption. In this #TotalDefence video, we hear from fellow Singaporeans why they think it is important that each of us play our part for Total Defence, and see how individuals from all walks of life and local businesses came together to help the community in times of need. As we commemorate Total Defence Day on 15 Feb, let us commit to play our part and put Total Defence into action, so that we can stand strong and be ready as a nation to withstand any threat or challenge.

S'pore couple rescues food from being thrown away, donates them to community & migrant workers - Mothership
June 19, 2020
We were rescuing food to reduce food waste and the volume was way too much for us to consume at home, and we decided to share the rescue with (our) neighbours.
It was just a very simple thought that we could help the neighbours save some money on grocery bills and put the food to good use. Being in a new estate, we know that there are a lot of sandwich class here that falls through the cracks, and we decided that we could come in and help them in our little ways to help them save money.
