You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''National Security Coordination Secretariat''' ('''NSCS''') is a unit under the  [[Prime Minister's Office (Singapore)|Prime Minister's Office]] (PMO) of the [[Government of Singapore]]. Established in 1999, it was tasked to strengthen coordination amongst Singapore's existing security agencies; [[Singapore Armed Forces]] (SAF), [[Singapore Police Force]] (SPF), [[Internal Security Department (Singapore)|Internal Security Department]] (ISD) and [[Security and Intelligence Division]] (SID).<ref>https://www.nscs.gov.sg/public-data/doc/speeches/2004/The-Strategic-Framework-for-Singapores-National-Security.pdf((Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

==History==
In 1999, the National Security Secretariat (NSS) was set up to forge and strengthen inter-agency links through the strategic convergence of these organisations and other relevant government ministries, directing efforts against the emerging threats of non-conventional warfare and transnational terrorism.

With the advent of the terrorist incidents taking place in the [[United States]] on [[September 11 attacks|11 September 2001]], the NSS was responsible for implementing several ad hoc coordinating arrangements to protect Singapore from subsequent attacks. 

These [[ad hoc]] coordinating arrangements were known to relate to areas in terms of aviation, land transport and maritime security. It is possible that through the work of the NSS, the [[Singapore Armed Forces]] (SAF) began researching into rearranging itself into a task based force structure, with a dedicated focus in a new operational area of homeland defence. Following the [[September 11 attacks|9/11]], SAF soldiers began to be deployed to Key Installation sites, known as KINS, in support of the [[Ministry of Home Affairs (Singapore)|Ministry of Home Affairs]] (MHA). These areas cover [[Changi International Airport]], Sembawang Wharves, and the oil refineries situated on [[Jurong Island]].

The SAF and [[Singapore Civil Defence Force]] (SCDF) also began parallel efforts to develop measures to counter chemical and biological warfare. With the SAF, a battalion equivalent of forces commenced development of the CBRE group—Chemical Biological Radiological and Explosives ordnance group, which was rightfully an expansion of its chemical warfare capability. The SCDF strengthened the development of its [[Dangerous goods|HAZMAT]]—Hazardous Material forces. 

Ad hoc arrangements gradually became regarded as insufficient to meet the new security landscape, and the NSS recognised that there was a crucial need for not merely the security agencies, but rather all ministries to work together to develop a whole-of-government approach towards handling modern day security threats.

From 2003 onward, it was decided that formulating relevant security policy and implementing integrated and coordinated approaches would be best done through a small coordination unit that was managed at the prime minister's level–as such the NSS would be headed at the [[Prime Minister's Office (Singapore)|Prime Minister's Office]] (PMO). 

On 20 July 2004, Deputy Prime Minister [[Tony Tan]] laid out the case for a new Strategic Framework for [[national security]] in Parliament. This framework sought to address the issues and close the gaps identified, and put in place the machinery to enable the government to systematically deal with the security issues confronting Singapore. Included within the framework was the plan to re-describe the NSS as the National Security Coordination Secretariat (NSCS)—which was established under the PMO and tasked with national security planning and the coordination of policy and intelligence issues. The NSS was renamed the National Security Coordination Centre (NSCC) and together with the Joint Counter Terrorism Centre (JCTC) formed up the NSCS.<ref>((Cite news |last=Nathan |first=Dominic |date=21 July 2004 |title=New agency gives security top priority |pages=1 |work=[[The Straits Times]]))</ref>
