Another step is being taken to bolster Singapore's reputation as a secure business and tourism destination.
A new Singapore Standard for Hotel Security is being developed and Senior Minister S Jayakumar said Tuesday it will be launched later this month at the Hotel Security Conference.
The new standard has been developed by the Singapore Hotel Association together with the Singapore Police Force, SPRING Singapore, the Singapore Tourism Board and the National Crime Prevention Council.
Professor Jayakumar, who is also the Co-ordinating Minister for National Security, made the announcement at the annual National Security Dialogue with some 600 leaders from the business community.
He explained that security is already a key factor in the choice of location for international events arising from terrorism concerns. As travellers become more security conscious, they will look for destinations and hotels that have a good record of security.
The senior minister emphasised that the government will continue to ensure that the required infrastructure and measures for countering terrorism are put in place to protect Singapore and its people. However, he added that this has to be a collective effort by all.
Professor Jayakumar said: "The government cannot anticipate and plan for all threats and scenarios. As business leaders, you would instinctively understand the concept of risks and the imperative to manage them. You have to be prepared for unexpected events which can disrupt your business operations.
"This could necessitate making plans to protect yourself against disruptions, be it terrorist attacks, pandemics or other emergency situations. In so doing, you ensure that your core business functions remain intact.
"Much of the private sector has also taken steps to ensure that its security personnel are well-trained and equipped to tackle any likely crisis.
"The studies on terrorist incidents from Mumbai to Pakistan and Jakarta have shown the critical role played by first responders who can significantly mitigate the damage caused in a terrorist attack."
Professor Jayakumar stressed that the most recent incident – the bombings of the two hotels in Jakarta on July 17 - reminded Singaporeans of how terrorism remains a constant threat, especially since attacks strike when they are least expected to. Hence, he stated the need not to be complacent but to remain alert and prepared.
The senior minister added there is also the danger that attention could be crowded out by other concerns such as the global economic slowdown. This could put pressure on bottom-lines, and companies might divert attention and resources from security priorities.
Professor Jayakumar explained that security is an investment that will pay dividends long into the future and it can be part of the competitive advantage for individual businesses and for Singapore as a whole. CNA

The Singapore Police Force has set up the Public Transport Security Command (TransCom) to better meet the enhanced security demands of the expanding land transport system here.
Speaking at the Home Affairs Ministry's National Day Observance Ceremony on Tuesday morning, Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said what started off as the Police MRT Unit in August 2005 will now take on a larger role.
Singaporeans who frequently use the train system here would have noticed the regular patrols by TransCom officers at the stations.
The new unit oversees and manages all policing efforts throughout the entire public land transport system, including rail lines and bus networks.
Andy Tan, commander of TransCom, said: "What we have provided them is an extra three-week course to familiarise themselves with the operating environment within the public transport network, particularly the MRT stations – how to look out for suspicious persons amongst the crowds, how to deal with the emergency systems within the MRT systems and bus systems."
Some of the common cases where officers have had to conduct checks include instances of bags left behind at train stations and bus interchanges.
The TransCom unit currently has 200 men and the number is set to double by next year.
Mr Wong said: "To develop preparedness, we need to develop real capacities and capabilities. Without these, even good plans are only at best promising ideas and interesting attractions.
"Staying ahead of the threat and developing capabilities and capacities to deal with it has been the consistent approach of the Home Team to its mission.
"TransCom will continue to work closely with the Land Transport Authority and public transport operators to formulate and implement security policies and measures to enhance the safety and security of our public transport network."
The unit will have at least 50 to 60 officers on duty islandwide at any one time. CNA
