- Despite Military Prowess, Singapore “Vulnerable to Disinformation Campaigns”
For all its relative military might compared with neighbouring countries, Singapore is especially vulnerable to cyber or information warfare, at a time when some countries around the world are seriously building up their capabilities on this front, warned a military expert on Wednesday (March 14).
Testifying at the first day of the public hearing conducted by the Select Committee studying online falsehoods, Assistant Professor Michael Raska from the Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies underscored the threats posed by unconventional warfare against Singapore’s “traditional security conceptions of defence and deterrence”.
