00:00 As the new leaders of our AFP, you are expected to help ensure that the Armed Forces will
00:07 be more agile, flexible and responsive to better address emerging issues confronting
00:13 our nation.
00:14 We must be ready.
00:16 Our Armed Forces must be capable of securing and defending the archipelago from emerging
00:23 threats.
00:24 I place emphasis on this at the outset, in light of the continuing changes and emerging
00:32 developments in our nation's evolving security landscape.
00:36 Your new positions and ranks shall place you at the forefront of both familiar and new
00:43 and novel defence and security challenges that we now face.
00:48 You must not only anticipate, but you must also be ready to adapt and respond to emerging
00:54 national security and defence realities that exist in our country and in our region.
01:00 Thank you.
