UNCERTAIN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
During the meeting, Mr Wong was even asked if the position of institutions such as the Home Team has changed amid a unique global weather and the risk of radicalisations.
” We are now in a more worried, a more questionable, a more dangerous culture worldwide. The importance of security and safety for Singapore is something we cannot take for granted”, he said, adding that the government will continue to invest in its functions to maintain a high level of trust and trust in its safety and security forces.
The visit to the police heart and fire place was a chance for him to familiarizing himself with what the Home Team is doing.  ,
” But interestingly, to suggest to all our Home Team soldiers, thank you for your service, thank you for your devotion, your confidence and your dedication to serve”, he added.  ,
During the visit, Mr Wong was briefed on some of the latest education and operational capabilities of the Home Team, such as the officer’s small transceiver guns to store drones, and the new rapid reaction car with advanced features such as automatic number plate recognition.  ,
SCDF even demonstrated its” bright classroom” with Digital Reality and Expanded Reality training methods, and the electric pump ladder, dubbed as Southeast Asia’s first fully electric firefighting aircraft.
Several of the latest technologies are a result of collaborations with HTX ( Home Team Science and Technology Agency ). But not all technology needs to be homegrown, Mr Wong said.  ,
” We, of course, want to nurture and groom and get some of that anchored within Singapore, but we also learn from the best and in so many different places”, he added.  ,
There may also be more technology-enabled crimes including threats from unmanned vehicles and unmanned autonomous vehicles.  ,
” With all these new threats that continue to emerge, our own capabilities have to improve, and we are always focused on harnessing the best technologies to make sure that we have an effective Home Team”, the prime minister said.
