Total Defence Day 2017 Message from Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen
"... On 15 February, 75 years ago, Singapore fell, as British forces surrendered to Japanese invaders.
In this video, I stand in the very room in the former Ford Factory along Upper Bukit Timah Road in which the surrender took place.
Three and a half years of suffering and deprivation followed for those living in Singapore under Japanese Occupation.
This is why we commemorate Total Defence Day on 15 February every year – a reminder that only when everyone plays a part through Military, Civil, Economic, Social and Psychological Defence, can we ensure a Singapore that is safe, secure and sovereign. ..."
