Psychological Defence

Psychological Defence refers to the individual citizen's commitment to the nation and confidence in the future of our country. It is about having pride, passion and patriotism for our country. United in Psychological Defence, we develop the collective will to stand up for our rights; to protect what is ours; to seek to be left in peace; to progress and prosper in our own way as a nation. A strong Psychological Defence allows us to safeguard our independence and hence chart our own destiny.

What it means?

Having pride in, and being loyal and committed to our country
When Singaporeans are united in pride and passion for our country, we will stand up to defend what is ours and safeguard our sovereignty and independence.

Having the will, resolve and resilience to overcome challenges
Whatever the crisis or challenge is, it is our psychological resilience and strength that will determine whether we succumb or prevail. It is the will, tenacity and commitment of our people that underpins our Total Defence capability and our resilience as a nation.

A note from Jeffrey;

Be proud of Singapore and to develop the collective will to stand up for our rights; to protect what is ours; to seek to be left in peace; to progress and prosper in our own way as a nation. A strong Psychological Defence will then allows us to safeguard our independence and hence chart our own destiny too.
