Description of Programme
Delve into a pivotal chapter of Singapore's history with our engaging workshop, where the fall of Singapore during World War II is explored in depth. This programme offers a comprehensive examination of the strategic landscapes, challenges faced, and invaluable lessons from this crucial period.
Participants will gain a profound understanding of the factors that led to the rapid surrender of Singapore, the immediate and long-term impacts of the Japanese occupation, and the strategic lessons applicable to modern defence. Through interactive discussions, Q&A sessions, and scenario analyses, the workshop aims to heighten participants' awareness of historical challenges and stimulate the application of these insights to enhance the adaptability, preparedness, and resilience of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
This immersive experience fosters a deeper appreciation for historical context and its relevance to contemporary military strategy.
