Description of Programme
In this unique tour, hear about the true story and origins of Konfrontasi and its impact on Singapore. Understand how our local military units, 1 SIR and 2 SIR, were deployed to defend against, and actively seek out, Indonesian infiltrators.
Gain an insight into Operation Claret, terrorist campaigns and black operations designed to destabilise society. From the experience of confrontation with Indonesia, gain an appreciation of the important factors that impact the outcome of battles and, in turn, understand the need for Commitment to Defence (C2D), the Singapore Armed Forces, and Total Defence.
This programme includes exploration of a new Konfrontasi Gallery and video at the Rise of Asia Museum, a competitive online Kahoot trivia quiz and Amazing race in the Dhoby Ghaut area.
