Civil Defence - One of the five aspects of Singapore's Total Defence. Do you know the other four?

Nicholas Koh, 1E5, would recommend others to attend the NCDCC Openhouse in future. He says, "the NCDCC Openhouse is quite fun except that we could not try everything there, it was good."

A Lesson on Complacency

Below is an extract from a Channel News Asia article dated 7 March 2008:

Mr Lee said Mas Selamat is a wily person who could persuade his custodians and Singapore has learnt an important lesson on complacency from the episode.

"I give him full marks for winning the confidence of his custodians – that he's completely docile, completely passive and he's going to remain in captivity. It is... stupid to believe we are infallible. We are not infallible. One mistake and we get a big explosive in your midst. So let's not take this lightly. I think it's a very severe lesson of complacency," said Mr Lee.

Since Mas Selamat's escape, police have received 950 calls and email messages about the case. Anyone with information on the fugitive should call the police at 999 or email them at spf_police_information@spf.gov.sg.
