In this issue, we share with readers a topic that is HTA’s core business and close to the collective hearts and minds of Home Team officers – leadership. We are honoured to feature an interview with our Permanent Secretary (PS), Mr Pang Kin Keong, who shares with us the basic requirements he has of a leader in the Home Team: “inspire and motivate… make officers happier in their workplace, more motivated, more committed.” Two other articles contributed by our Home Team psychologists anchor the theme on leadership.
The remaining articles deal with topics related to the Home Team’s mission of keeping Singapore safe and secure, such as terrorism, drugs and crime, and leveraging technology to enhance human performance in firefighting. In keeping with the journal’s role as a platform to stimulate discussions on homefront security issues, we are proud to publish a line-up that features contributions from both internal and external writers, including a special contribution by a public service veteran with four decades of experience in crisis communications, and a primer on fake news by the HT Behavioural Sciences Centre.
