With the image of the national flag prominently displayed on this page, I think it is fitting to ask Singaporeons to ponder on this scenario.
The United Despotic Nations of the world decide to use their powers to force a country who is always quarreling with Singapore to settle their differences once and for all in a gladiator style contest. It will be winner takes all.
1000 able bodied men from each country picked at random through computer technology to ensure that man for man, they are of equal weight , height, size and fitness levels.
The contest will take place home and away like a football match, in their respective national stadiums. This is how the contest will be played out.
1000 men from each side will assemble on opposite ends of the stadium’s arena. Between then in the centre of the field would be a pile of 2000 parangs, knives, spears and other assortment of non firearms.
At the blow of a whistle, both sides are to rush to the centre and pick up what they can and fight for their lives. It must be a fight until there’s no one standing from the opposing side. I ask you. What do you think will be the outcome?
Whatever it is, I think F15s, F16s, stealth corvettes and leopard tanks are just a terrible waste of tax payers’ money.

Tell you the brutal truth.......
When we are having ATECH 2 in our reservist yr 2006. Many MEN , all over age and weight all drop while walking for an attack in dawn only half way through. I am carrying a radio set for the Medical officer of the battalion. So i know the whole situation even better then CO himself. MO himself has given up also, seeing so much "casualty"!
You think SIngapore soldier can take walking so long at night and launch a attack at dawn ? You seen the bloody thick jungle johore has ? Our LIM CHU KANG area is considered a "GARDEN" as compared to the primary forest they have and let not talk abt indonesia.
But we can take johore but amid of different approach. We can sent in our fighter to take the skies. Then we will sent in the armoured vehicle to open up the urban city area ....... oh xxxxx...... that too tough also. Cannot and don know how to continue to write .......... also. But anyway , if we are capable to take johore and repulse any attack there after. I think this is already commendable.
Then we have to wipe out all the MAN in johore from age 3 onwards. THen we can take the woman, and CO and the president has to order the MEN in the unit to take 3 or 4 woman and make them pregnant ! This is how GENGHIS KHAN army become a super empire. After that , we must change the content of the text book, and tell the next generation , that Singapore does these for greater good for the people across the PENINSULA !
But anyway , we are just like honey bees. We can attack , but once we attack , we will all die out.
