Media Statement in Response to Queries on Mandatory Download of SGSecure App for Servicemen

"Global and regional terror threats are persistent and long-term issues that should not be taken lightly. Singapore is just as susceptible to these threats as any other country. In line with stepping up of Singapore's national counter-terrorism efforts, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) have implemented a counter-terrorism training programme to better equip our personnel to be prepared citizens and active responders in the event of a terrorist attack.
 
The programme is being implemented in phases. In the first phase, MINDEF/SAF personnel are required to download the SGSecure mobile application and complete the e-learning modules embedded within. Subsequently, MINDEF/SAF personnel will be put through scenario-based community response training, to provide them with the knowledge to protect themselves and those around them in the event of a terror attack.

The counter-terrorism training programme applies to all MINDEF/SAF personnel."
