The Management of Threats in Singapore: Civil-Military Integration
The Management of Threats in Singapore: Civil-Military Integration Isaac Neo Yi Chong Introduction Compared to many other militaries around the Southeast Asia region, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has remained “one of the least politically-oriented national military forces in Southeast Asia” (Huxley, 1993, p. 1), with the government having firmly established civilian supremacy over the military. With a large citizen army due to a policy of conscription requiring every Singaporean male to serve two years of “National Service” (NS), and a long-running tradition of military scholar-officers permeating the ranks of the civil service and political leadership, one would expect the SAF to play a political role in a highly militarised state. Instead, as Chan Heng Chee (1985, p. 136) notes, “the most striking feature of the Singapore scene is the undisputed predominance of the civilian sector over the military.” This phenomenon is often attributed to a strong “civil-military fusion,” where the military functions as an integral part of the administrative structure of the state, complementing its social and economic domains, and identifies fully with the “values, interests, and national goals” of the civilian government instead of having its own ideological positions (T. Y. Tan, 2001, p. 278). However, most explanations of civil-military relations in Singapore focus more on institutional explanations. What has been underexplored are how structural factors, such as international and domestic threats, affect relations between state, society, and the military and hence the level of civilian control over the military. A key proponent of this approach, Michael Desch, predicts that in a country like Singapore, which has arguably experienced high and persistent levels of internal and external threats for most of its history, should suffer from degraded civilian control of the military (Table 1).

Singapore in 2011: Security Enhancement Amidst Uncertainty
CHAPTER 4 Singapore in 2011: Security Enhancement Amidst Uncertainty Lam Peng Er 2011 was a turbulent time for Singapore and the world. Ministers of defense cited the following geo-political and financial uncertainties confronting the city-state: the unfolding Eurozone crisis, the Jasmine revolution and its domino effect in the Middle East, an inexorable economic power shift from the West to the East 1, military modernization in East Asia 2, and the US superpower pivoting back to East Asia to balance a rising China.3 This paper will first assess Singapore’s security outlook and threat assessment in 2011. Next it will survey Singapore’s relations with Malaysia, its immediate neighbor. It will then examine the diplomatic and military response to these perceived challenges. Following that will be an analysis of Singapore’s efforts at bilateral and multilateral cooperation in security matters. The paper ends with a reflection on Singapore’s future security outlook and posture in the post-Lee Kuan 1 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense Teo Chee Hean said in parliament: “In the Asia- Pacific, China and India continue to grow at a fast pace. This contrasts with the picture elsewhere. Europe continues to be gripped by the woes of a number of eurozone countries. The United States is grappling with a large budget deficit. This has meant that economic dynamism and weight has been shifting eastwards. Defense expenditures reflect this shift. They are falling in the West while rising in Asia.” See “Speech by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defense Teo Chee Hean at the Committee of Supply Debate 2011,” MINDEF News, 2 March 2011.

The Future of the Singapore Armed Forces Amidst the Transforming Strategic, Geopolitical and Domestic Environment by ME5 Gabriel Lim Guang Nian
features 38 The Future of the Singapore Armed Forces Amidst the Transforming Strategic, Geopolitical and Domestic Environment by ME5 Gabriel Lim Guang Nian Abstract: The strategic and political environment has transformed since the start of this century. The attacks on the United States on 9/11 have led to prolonged ‘war against terror’ campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq with international repercussions. Within the Asia-Pacific region, heightening geopolitical rivalries between great and emerging powers have resulted in regional tensions. The role of the military in non-traditional security issues such as peacekeeping, pandemics and natural disasters has become a significant area of interest for international organisations such as the United Nations (UN), states and militaries. Domestically, we have seen greater diversity and expression of opinions on security, as well as the means to achieve it. The developments over the past 15 years have provided a glimpse into the challenges the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) could face in the future. This essay therefore seeks to identify the future challenges facing the SAF and the means by which they may be addressed. Keywords: Globalisation; Terrorism; Maritime Security; Humanitarian Assistance; Relevance of NS INTRODUCTION future challenges facing the SAF and assess how the SAF can evolve to address them. As a small island city-state with a lack of geographic strategic depth and little natural resources to buffer NON-TRADITIONAL TRANSNATIONAL against exigencies, Singapore’s approach to defence is SECURITY CHALLENGES shaped by both the unique circumstances surrounding The increased interconnectedness brought our country’s independence and the geostrategic about by globalisation has redefined the nature of limitations we face.

COMMENTARY IN MUCH of post-war Southeast Asia, the central role played by militaries in the struggle for independence such as in Indonesia and Vietnam earned the armed forces a place in the national narrative. In the absence of a war of national liberation against colonial authority, it is perhaps understandable that Singapore’s military history draws upon its involvement in British colonial rule as a convenient starting point, albeit within limits. Singapore’s pre-independence military past - particularly events, sites, monuments and personages from the Second World War - are appropriated as part of Singapore’s nation-building narrative. Military history however is more than just the heat of battles and the great military commanders who fought them. How a society remembers and commemorates its wartime past as citizens and communities beyond the exploits of generals and admirals is part of military history as well. The sheer scale and number of parties involved in the Battle and Fall of Singapore in February 1942 (Australian, British, Chinese, Indian, Malay and Japanese) allows for remembrance and commemoration in different ways.

Article by Ravi Velloor
Speaking Of Asia Such a long journey: Merlion on the Ganges The back story of how Singapore's ties with India grew over the decades is something to note and celebrate as New Delhi steps up its engagement with Asean Watching Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong emerge swiftly from the official Mercedes-Benz limousine to an extended hand-clasp with Mr Narendra Modi, as the Indian leader waited for his guests at his nation's 69th Republic Day parade, it was impossible to escape a sense of wonderment at the long road Singapore and India have travelled to reach where they are today. Mr Lee led the Asean delegation to New Delhi last week when India, in an unprecedented gesture, invited all 10 Asean heads of government to be guests of honour at its annual celebration to mark its creation as a republic in 1950, three years after winning independence from Britain. While it was fortuitous that Singapore should be in the chair when New Delhi made this strong signal to South-east Asia, it was perhaps fitting that it should have been so. For no nation has been so enthusiastic a cheerleader of India's contemporary national story, or its deepening alliance with Asean, as the smallest nation in the grouping – Singapore. A quarter century ago when then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong began showing interest in the Indian growth story, following India's economic liberalisation of 1991, there were plenty of doubters on this island. The world, then in the thrall of the Asian Tigers, had little time for India.

Mr Khoo led PUB to bring the community’s hearts and minds closer to water through the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters Programme. Mr Khoo has also been instrumental in bringing PUB, and Singapore, to be deeply connected with the international community through the Singapore International Water Week which provides a global platform for sustainable water solutions. PUB received numerous global as well as local awards including the Stockholm Industry Water Prize, Water Agency of the Year by Global Water Intelligence, the Singapore Quality Award, Singapore Innovation Award and World Class Global Performance Excellence Award under Mr Khoo’s stewardship.

Singapore I. Current National Security Situation Strategically, Singapore Is
Singapore I. Current National Security Situation Strategically, Singapore is an economic link between the industrial and developing countries of East Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. As a small nation-state of about 3 million people heavily dependent on trade,1 Singapore’s national security is not threatened as much from a single country, but from the disruption of commerce. Singapore’s external trade is more than triple its GDP. The possibility of a war spilling over into Singapore’s SLOCs and territory is a concern, as well as the paramilitary operations of transnational or sub national groupings. Singapore views the Asian-Pacific region as a dynamic one with many uncertainties. The relationships between the United States, China, and Japan are key, and there are many unresolved disputes in Korea, the Spratly’s, and South Asia. Russia and India also influence the security environment.2 However Singapore’s proximate security concerns stem from the potential for ethnic and cultural strife in neighboring countries, excessive nationalism, and dependence on Malaysia for water and gas.3 There is also increased piracy and illegal immigration in the adjacent waters, turmoil in Malaysia, and the distinct possibility that internal conflict in Indonesia could eventually upset the ASEAN security balance.4 Singapore promotes its security concerns as active members of the Association of South- East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Five Power Defence Arrangement (FPDA). The FPDA nations (Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UK) strive for high interoperability of forces, tested via frequent exercises. Additionally, the evolution of the ASEAN Regional Forum has contributed to regional security confidence.5 Military requirements Should conflict arise, Singapore geographically has little strategic depth within which to defend.
