:: about "It's My Turn" ::
This year's Total Defence (TD) campaign, themed "Total Defence: It's My Turn", seeks to convey the message that it is now our turn to play our part for TD and build on what other Singaporeans have done to keep Singapore strong and secure.
The campaign is centred on getting Singaporeans to do two things: "Appreciate" and "Participate".
- "Appreciate": To prompt Singaporeans to appreciate how TD has been instrumental in safeguarding our way of life through understanding our history, culture and identity. - "Participate": To encourage Singaporeans to step forward to do something meaningful for the community, be it reaching out to those in need and/or strengthening the community that we live in. These can range from simple actions such as inviting your neighbours for a meal to larger efforts like raising funds for a worthy cause.
