A Dialogue with Prof S. Jayakumar, Senior Minister and Co-ordinating Minister for National Security; Assoc. Prof. Ho Peng Kee, Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs as well as Mr Lee Yi Shyan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry

Security is part and parcel of our life and an integral factor in ensuring our economic stability and survival. In these challenging times, even as we grapple with economic concerns, the terror threat persists and we cannot let our guard down.

To enhance your organisation's corporate readiness and resilience in the event of a terror attack and other emergencies, the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), the Singapore Police Force (SPF), and the National Security Coordination Secretariat (NSCS) have lined up a panel of government, private sector and industry experts, to update you on development of the transnational terrorism threat, provide further insight on current security issues, and to help chart your way forward in contingency planning and corporate crisis management. Additional highlights of this year's event include the annual National Safety and Security Watch Group (SSWG) Awards, and an exhibition which will provide you the opportunity to pick up lessons and tips on the cooperative cluster approaches in emergency response taken by SSWG groups.

Participants will also benefit from a dialogue session with Guest-of-Honour Prof S Jayakumar, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security; Assoc. Prof Ho Peng Kee, Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs and Mr Lee Yi Shyan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry.
