cyberpioneer is the official news website of the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). Managed by the Defence Media Centre (DMC) of MINDEF Public Affairs, its aim is to provide up-to-date news on the SAF and defence matters related to Singapore.
Created to complement the PIONEER magazine, cyberpioneer also includes an online archive of all key feature stories published in the monthly, dating back to May 2001.
The website you see now is the result of over a decade of evolution, with the latest makeover in October 2012.
