Does Goh Meng Seng support cheaper housing, Minimum Wage, 1 year NS, pension, etc

How come this information is not readily available on NSP website or his blog?
How do we know it's a real thing if it comes out of Ramseth's posts instead of from official sources? Are you his press secretary? If so, you have to also identify yourself!

I already have, many times. Most forummers who've been longer know.

now sg's air force and navy. because they are staffed by better trained professionals, others will think twice before they mess with the hornet's nest. a squadron of armed aircraft is 100% flown by professionally trained killers, just as an attack sub is 100% manned by professionally trained killers. no armed forces in this world have half baked ns men operating killing machines on these two fighting units.

In short, the British has applied the same doctrine and that's how they lost Singapore during WWII.

The fact is this, no matter how strong US firepower is from the sky or navy, ultimately what decide victory is the army. Korean war, Vietnam war and even the present Afghanistan and Desert Storm.

We have NO defense against missiles.

eh The whole idea of a missile defence system in Israel and US terms are mainly to deal with long range threats with potential nuclear payload. None of our immediate neighbors have that kind of firepower. To acquire something like that will
1)be an overkill
2)encourage an arms race in the region

Bad idea. I think the current plan to deal with missile attacks are basically to make sure to take out the missiles before they can even be launch which is actually what the US and Israel are actually doing.

Side question, why U using a gay looking angmoh as your avatar. I prefer your old one :p

 

[Ramseth]

Those systems you mentioned are surface-to-air missile systems.
They don't defend against missiles. They defend against aircraft!

Yes, the main defences are against aircraft and landing-craft.

In conclusion, the NS system is just a wayang! We are totally defenseless against missiles from Malaysia or even China and yet there is no real action taken to correct this!

I've mentioned earlier, Malaysia and Indonesia have no seriously threatening missile that couldn't be dealt with by standard defences. China don't have any logical reason to fire a missile at Singapore. They'd probably kill more PRC citizens than Singaporeans by doing that.

Dismantling the NS system and putting up a professional army is the best option. It cuts unnecessary expenditure on Defense and wasting productivity that can be provided by our young Sinkies.

Examples:

1. Falklands. 10,000 Brits versus 50,000 Argies.

2. Desert Storm. 50,000 Yanks + 20,000 Brits + miscellaneous allies versus 1,000,000 Iraqis.

You know the results of professionals versus conscripts.

Actually no. I usually watch crap on the internet more then I watch TV. Mostly only watch football on TV. And actually I have seen that show before but no didn't like that show can't remember that guy's face, but yes now that I know who he is, I still think that guy is gay looking

IfSG have more fighter jets then MY and Indon combined.

Why is that so? My point exactly.

Tell me how is the Sinkie Airforce is going to find out when they are going to take out missiles without a comprehensive intelligence system with military satellites, spies and reconnaissance aircraft?

eh point 2 kinda answers point 1

and more on point 1. Air superiority?

If U look at most recent wars, the winner is almost always the one who controls the skies

If desert and flat terrain, the answer is yes.
but if mountain and jungle, then I not too sure ...

That's what aircraft and missiles are invented for.

Sea superiority is also important. For aircraft to be fast and weapon loaded, the fuel capacity and range would have to be limited. 70% of earth are seas and 100% within striking range from the seas. That's what aircraft carriers, missile frigates and submarines are invented for.

But the above are the aggression part of the equation of war. Defence need less, if properly strategised. It's always homeground advantage as to logistics, proceedings and outcome, but that also come with the price of heavier homeground damage and casualty whether in victory or defeat. The best defence is to give nobody any reason to attack you.

I think our doctrine is to launch preempt attacks before the other guy attack. SG size = like peesai. Lose 1 battle basically lose then entire war liao. Not like other country can retreat backwards.

And sea superiority and power projection in our case also no needed. Coz like U said ours is a defensive force, the airforce isnt going to go anywhere outside their range
