Defence Economic prosperity depends
on a framework of stability and security. A strong,
credible SAF deterrent has been a key element
of this framework. A professional and effective
defence force with cutting-edge capabilities is
not built up overnight, but through prudent and
consistent investment over many years. Defence
spending must be seen as a long-term investment,
not dependent on the ups and downs of the economy
from year to year. A credible defence capability
is the pre-condition for Singapore's continued
peace and prosperity. |
