1 | Cybersecurity Resilience Guide by Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) | Singapore Institute of Directors |
2 | SAF Operational Response Exercise @Selarang Camp The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will be conducting an Operational Response Exercise at Selarang Camp, featuring the recall and force preparations of Army standby personnel. These personnel will be activated on immediate notice to return to camp and to exercise a joint operations scenario alongside the SPF in a simulated period of heightened threat. This exercise validates the SAF’s ability to effectively recall and deploy standby forces to maintain public order and security alongside the SPF. It showcases the how the SAF, Home Team Agencies, and other stakeholders work together in event of national emergencies. It also reinforces the message that total defence is a collective effort involving both military personnel and civilians. | Selarang Camp |
3 | Recall Exercise by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) The exercise ensures that the RSAF personnel can be quickly activated when required, simulating a real emergency scenario. This high level of readiness is crucial for Singapore’s defence readiness. | Murai Camp |
4 | Total Defence Day Commemoration Event at Singapore Business Federation (SBF) Center | Singapore Business Federation Center |
5 | Total Defence @ SAFRA Key highlights during the weekend include: (i) a showcase of PUB’s water wagon; and (ii) a Cyber Safety Quest, where participants will embark on an interactive learning journey and learn how to protect themselves from cyberthreats like phishing and malware. | Various SAFRA Clubs |
6 | Switching off Façade Lights by Buildings These activities help to simulate what a city-wide power disruption might look like (realistic visual impact at a smaller scale), preparing both the public and businesses for real life blackout situations. It encourages building owners, businesses, and residents to think about contingency plans, such as back-up power sources and energy conservation measures. This would also be helpful to test out crisis management strategies of buildings and organisations in handling sudden power loss. | Various Locations |
7 | Exercise Heartbeat by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) This exercise reminds community partners to periodically review their security measures, familiarise and validate their contingency plans, and enhance their emergency preparedness. This can be done through efforts such as exercising vigilance and equipping themselves with the relevant knowledge and skillsets. In addition, this exercise also helps to strengthen partnerships between SPF, SCDF and community stakeholders in responding to unexpected attacks, and serves as a good opportunity for the community to practice the key SGSecure advisories like "Run, Hide, Tell" and "Press, Tie, Tell" (improvised first aid). | Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre |
8 | Food Resilience Preparedness Programme by Singapore Food Agency This year, the Food Resilience Preparedness Programme (FRPP) (Refer to Fact Sheet 6) will be rolled out to more than 90 secondary schools, pre-universities, and the Institute of Technical Education, involving over 100,000 students and teachers. Participants will consume the meals at ambient temperatures to better simulate a disruption scenario where no gas or electricity provision is available for the reheating of meals. Students will also be educated on the importance of food resilience and the relevance of Ready-To-Eat (RTE) meals with resources co-developed by MOE and Singapore Food Agency (SFA). Expansion of FRPP into the community In addition to participating schools, SFA will also be expanding the FRPP to the community to raise awareness of the importance of food security and adaptability in the event of supply disruptions. SFA will be partnering the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) to distribute the RTE meals to seniors at Active Ageing Centres (AACs), where they can enjoy these RTE meals during their regular communal dining programme under the Ministry of Health’s Age Well SG initiative. There will be over 8,000 seniors across 111 centres who will participate in the programme. | |

About Exercise SG Ready 2025
Co-led by MINDEF and the Energy Market Authority (EMA), Exercise SG Ready (ESR) will return for its second edition, which will be held from 15 February to 28 February at various locations on different dates across the island. Over 1,000 organisations, schools and units from educational, community, businesses and government sectors will carry out different disruption or preparedness activities across the two-week exercise period to strengthen their business continuity plans for power disruptions or phishing attacks. As a signature event of SG60, ESR 2025 invites Singaporeans to reflect on the crises and disruptions that we have gone through in the last 60 years, and what we are likely to face going forward. It is an opportunity for Singaporeans to show care for others in times of such crises and disruptions. The aim of Exercise SG Ready is to encourage individuals, communities and businesses to reflect on the question: "Are you ready for disruptions?” and put Total Defence into action through contingency plans. More information on the exercise is found on the SGReadyGoWhere website (https://www.go.gov.sg/SGReadyGoWhere).
