By leveraging remote capabilities, cloud solutions, and alternate operational sites, MOM can ensure the resilience of its services and minimise downtime during a crisis. The justification for each strategy reflects the importance of ensuring that MOM can continue to meet its statutory responsibilities, manage resources effectively, and maintain its support for Singapore’s workforce, even during challenging circumstances. Through these recovery strategies, MOM aims to strengthen its overall resilience and ensure that it remains prepared for any disruptions in its operations.   | ###### Resilient Support: Implementing
