In its ongoing fight against terrorism, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), in collaboration with creative agency VML Singapore, has launched a series of interactive films that allow viewers to understand and engage with their role in maintaining Singapore’s security.
Launched on TikTok, the interactive films expand on SGSecure’s “What’s your Role” campaign by mobilizing Singaporeans to make the right choice when faced with potential dangers.
The films underscore the evolving threats of terrorism, warn against the dangers of misinformation that can fuel fear and division, and highlight the potential outcomes—both positive and negative—of our actions.
The two creative films allow users to ‘choose their own journey’ when faced with a dilemma – reminding Singaporeans of the importance of vigilance and unity in maintaining a safe and harmonious community.
MHA and VML continue to take a distinctive step away from portraying terrorism as an all-consuming doom and gloom. This time, inspiring and empowering Singaporeans to stand united, and play their roles in the fight against terrorism.
“We all have a role to play in keeping Singapore safe from terrorism. And there’s no role too small,” said Nimesh Desai, Chief Executive Officer, VML Singapore.
“Which is why we leveraged interactive technology to remind and enable Singaporeans to play theirs, and be ready for any emergency.”
Wilbur Sim, Director (SGSecure Programme Office, MHA) said “A whole-of-society approach is crucial to safeguard our community from the threat of terrorism. The interactive films highlight the simple actions that everyone can take to protect our loved ones and our community from the multi-faceted threats of terrorism in a refreshing yet thought-provoking style.”
