Samantha Goh

Assistant Director (Defence Policy)

CIVILIANS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE in supporting and counter-balancing our SAF colleagues. Both are critical levers in securing Singapore's defence interest.

I HAVE A RINGSIDE SEAT to the latest regional and international security developments of interest to Singapore.

THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL OPPORTUNITIES to explore policy areas like HR, communications, finance, national education and more. It's almost like a ‘miniature' Public Service with a focus on security and defence.

THERE'S NEVER A TYPICAL DAY at the Defence Policy Office. One moment we could be hosting meetings, the next moment we would be negotiating our security interests at multilateral or bilateral meetings around the world.
