SGSecure

It was launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 24 September 2016.[1] It aims to prepare the public in the event of a terrorist attack.

SGSecure is a national movement in Singapore.

Mr Lee said the Government has stepped up its measures against terrorism, but its efforts alone are not enough. "Terrorism threatens not just our physical safety, but also our social harmony and way of life," he said. "To protect ourselves, every Singaporean has to play his part."

"SGSecure gives everybody a role in protecting ourselves, our families and our country," he added. "SGSecure will teach you the skills you need to do so."

Awareness

Most Singaporeans think the likelihood of a terrorist attack in Singapore is “not high”, and a “major effort” is necessary to prepare them in the event of such an attack, said Minister for Law K Shanmugam.

There is a need to bring Singaporeans’ awareness to the “next level”: What their role is and how to respond in such a situation, he added. [2]

Eye Power

gollark: Anyway, you need *a* connection for emergency calls to work, because it has to connect somehow, but sometimes I get "emergency calls only" on my phone, and apparently there's a lot of specific handling of them in the phone network.
gollark: Apparently I have a 13% communism score.
gollark: There are a bunch of vaccines being tested, but apparently they won't be ready to widely deploy until next year.
gollark: Maybe with teleconferencing so you can talk to all the other nearby protestors!
