Total Defence Day
Wikipedia:
Total Defence (Chinese: 全民防卫; Malay: Pertahanan Mutlak; Tamil: --) is a concept introduced by the government of Singapore in 1984 to improve readiness in matters related to the defence and national security of Singapore, and is partly based on similar concepts in Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden. In fact, the concept has very close similarities (including the “five aspects of Total Defence”, discussed below) to the 1972 adopted Total Defence concept in Austria. This concept rests on the notion that the defence of the country cannot rely only on the regular armed forces. Thus the concept declares that government agencies, private sector organisations and all Singaporeans are to be involved in an effort to deal with security threats facing Singapore. It can be compared to the concept of total war.

Total Defence is a concept where people are to defend totally.
Total Defence Day was on February 15 this year, quite a long time ago. Many schools participated in it and many pupils had much fun with the programmes that they organised.
Primary schools adopted the "Pupil-soldier Integration ProgrammE" aka PIPE. In this programme, 3 pupils from every class was sent to Afghanistan to participate in the counter-terrorism effort.
Voluntary Enlistment.
They were given Sar-21s to combat against the terrorists. This is an interview with one of the pupils:
Me: How was the trip to Afghanistan?
Pupil: It was fun, bullets ricochet around the terrain and one of my friends was hit by a bullet.
Me: So what happened to him?
Pupil: He died.
Not only that, kindergarten pupils were given crayons and drawing papers and were asked to draw pictures of Saddam Hussein and rifles. Prisoners from the middle east was brought into the classroom where they gave a speech that really inspired the pupils..
"Many people have died from these attacks, they are innocent by-standers doing their usually stuff - eating, drinking, walking and reading books. The books were named 'harry potter' and it speaks about a wizard whose forehead had a scar. The scar is coloured red and blue. The scar is quite big, as big as a snail. This scar resembled terrorism."
Jay Chou had a concert in Singapore two months ago. It was cancelled because of terrorism.
Secondary schools students were sent to Iraq to interview Osama Bin Laden, who have successfully hid in a female toilet for 3 years and 4 months. In the interview, one of the secondary school student was kidnapped but his parents were told that the he is in safe hands and is living in Hotel 81 with three other soldiers.
A real life attack simulation was held at Boon Lay MRT. The operation was called Operation Northstar. A bomb was placed in a briefcase and was exploded in front of a "chio bu". Many boys criticised the operation, life sucks for them.
Boys from the schools were given an intro to army life.
"We use Counterstrike to simulate a REAL LIFE attack scene in an urban setting."
"We use Barbie dolls to motivate the soldiers."
"We do not use guns, we simply throw the bullets with our hands."
"Our GPS guiding system that controls air units is actually a PSP."
"Our ships can float."
