SINGAPORE - The lessons of total defence are even more important today amid the coronavirus outbreak, said Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Chan Chun Sing, on Saturday .
The six pillars of total defence are military, civil, economic, social, psychological and digital defence, the last of which was added last year. He said that in terms of economic defence, Singapore's supply chains and stockpile have been tested in the last two weeks, but that the Republic has not done too badly thanks to long-term strategies of stockpiling, complemented by local production, as well as diversification of supply sources and working with trusted overseas partners.
He called upon Singaporeans to"close ranks to help one another", not ostracise medical workers, Cisco officers and front-line staff, as well as their foreign counterparts.
