Total Defence Day 2007

On 15th of Feb every year, all schools commemorate Total Defence Day.
a) Do you think it is relevant? Why?
b) How do you think the commemoration of Total Defence Day can be made more meaningful and engaging for the students?

a) Yes. I think that it is relevant. This is because on this day, Singapore fall to Japan and we started to live in terror in the hands of the japanese. We have to let the later generations to remember this day as to let them know what happened to Singapore as we fall to the japanese on this day. This is also because we must protect our country and not to fall into other countries again.

b) I think that maybe schools should let students experience some of the things that happened at that time. The teachers should teach some of the important things about total defence and after that let them have a mini quiz about total defence.
