Nods of approval were seen all over the classroom as students from Cedar Girls' Secondary School, including Secondary 4 student Diya Manu, took their first bite of their ready-to-eat meals on Feb 15.
Diya, 15, had a butter chicken meal with briyani rice, which came in a bento box, similar to the ones seen in convenience stores.
"It really was quite delicious, and pretty balanced, as it had all the necessary nutrients," said Diya, adding that she thought the food would taste like army combat rations.
Diya and her schoolmates were taking part in a food disruption exercise that was part of this year's Total Defence Day activities.
Their school was one of 40 secondary schools that got a taste of what a food emergency is like, when canteen offerings are replaced with locally made ready-toeat meals.
Education Minister Chan Chun Sing and Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor joined Diya and her classmates for the meal at Cedar Girls' Secondary, as teachers spoke about the importance of Total Defence and ways to prepare for a potential emergency.
