War and Peace Tour

Description of Programme

The purpose of war is to secure peace. The ""War and Peace"" tour starkly contrasts the horrors of war and its suffering with the fragility of our current peacetime conditions, juxtaposed against Singapore’s material success. The survival of Singapore depends on our military's role in deterring aggression directed at our nation.
