This Minister is really crazy. Spending tax payers' money to buy vessel to rescue people of another country which is the responsibility of their own Govt. Are papees now trying to be the Salvation Army country of Asia? Why think of saving people in foreign lands while sinkies are forced to lie on beds in corridors of public hospitals?

Why not use the money for better purposes for the benefits of sinkies?

its hilarious considering,singapore only donated 100k to pinoy hurricane and 50k to japan tsunami disaster relief....and here they are talking about buying billion dollar ships to assist in humanitarian efforts.

when it comes to donating singapore cannot even spare one peanut,but when it comes to wayang and showing off billion dollar budget is no problem.

Trying to copy the Americans to be the policemen of the world. Got hantam in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc and now Americans quickly pulling back home. Kaypoh, no prize, no money.

A waste of money considering it has no benefits to locals.

I rather they spent the millions on solving the many problems affecting locals, like haze, dengue epidemic, high medical cost or reduce the Medishield Life premiums .

Either you vote wisely or see your monies fritted away to rescue pinoys..

It is a subterfuge to buy this big ticket item for their own use. PAP politicians preparing for the big escape when they lose 2016 election. Cabinet members and families get to fly out on A380. The lesser mortals get to use this ship.

An aircraft carrier is for ego not people.

If this bargain Hen chap is thinking of getting this sort of JMMS, he must be going nuts to waste so much tax payers $$$.
He should be thinking of better make use of those defense budget in making the life of NS men safer and better by equipping
them with more advance training, sophisticated weapons and safety gadgets.

"A larger JMMS would be able to carry more helicopters or have more helicopters operating. When we responded to Typhoon Haiyan...basically, the typhoon was so devastating that comms and communication were knocked out. There was no centralised ability for command and control of the airspace. In that context, a ship like the JMMS would have been very useful," he said.

In times of typhoon and foul weather, all sorts of comms equipment will be affected and most of them may even rendered handicap.
What makes him really think this sort of comms system onboard the JMMS is exceptional that can overcome mother nature?

It is for chao lor! The lower tier PAP members are clueless that they are given a junk to escape. They just think that the PAP leadership truly cares for them.

it is extremely necessary for every cuntry to invest in chopper carriers. it'll prove to be a wise choice in times of crisis and disasters. much better investment than mbt's in the equatorial belt.

This is just a red herring. What better way to conceal their military expansionism other than humanitarian ground? Japan has been doing this. And with their intention to purchase f35 VSTOL version, it could even land on the vessel making this a mini aircraft carrier. It hardly anything of defensive nature but a means to open up another new dimension in their offensive capability.
