More About Their Story

Their story focuses on the reflections of the past as they mirror the pioneer efforts to ours. Their story encompasses two aspects of Total Defence; Economic Defence & Psychological Defence.

In the aspects of Economic Defence, they used images that are shown on a reflection of the Praxinoscope that will look somewhat like the video shown below. Some of the images includes a Merlion that turns into a $1 coin, NEWater bottle, a transformation from the past transportation methods, Trishaw to cars as one of the main mode of transport now and a part on Changi Airport as well.

As for Psychological Defence, they included Sam Tsui a depiction between Sam Tsui Women in the past and a construction worker now. This mirrors our Pioneer efforts as it shows how much Singapore has changed by using better technology such as tractors, forklifts and cranes to build a better nation.

They also included images that focuses on Racial Harmony, Singapore Flag that is a National Symbolization of Unity. Lastly, they will present an image of interconnecting hands which symbolizes people working together in a harmonious nation to build a better future by duplicating the mindset that took us this far.(e.g. SG100)

Their story places great emphasis on "Vision" and it touches on all the Five Aspects of Total Defence; Civil Defence, Military Defence, Economic Defence, Social Defence and Psychological Defence. Their story is told via the means of an animation that focuses on Total Defence in a perception that not many do.

In the aspect of Civil Defence, they want to show the importance of staying alert so that we are alert in protecting our country in times of any imminent threats.

Secondly, Military Defence is brought out in showing how family members that are not part of the military or have yet to serve National Service can support those who are currently serving.

As for Economic Defence, their emphasis is showcasing how all of us must remain open minded by making sure we open our eyes to new possibilities especially Aerospace Technology.

Social Defence is of great importance and the group's story wants to promote peace and harmony among each other in ensuring that everyone can work together to maintain a harmonious Multi Racial Society.

Lastly, for Psychological Defence their emphasis is that everyone has a part to play in the Total Defence of Singapore.

Which of The Three Are Theirs?

That is why the story not only wants to tell everyone to focus on their "Vision" in looking out for anything that threatens Singapore's Safety but also to support every single National Service man as they embark on their journey to learn more about Defence. This is to ensure that everyone feels safe as they know that we are well-protected by everyone in this country.
