Total Defence Day Commemoration
Schools commemorate Total Defence Day on 15 February each year to mark the fall of Singapore to the Japanese in 1942. In commemorating TDD, our students reflect on the importance of Total Defence as Singapore's best all-round response to threats and challenges that confront Singapore.
Total Defence Day, which falls on 15 February, holds great significance to Singapore as it was the day Singapore fell to the Japanese during World War 2 in 1942.
