I remember a platoon of Singapore Infantry Regiment soldiers were killed in Kota Tinggi by the Indonesian army during the Confrontation. We can name some award after these killed soldiers and present it to high ranking Indonesians when they come to Singapore on state visits.
Shows our Million dollar Ministers are impotent....... cannot defend Singapore or her hopnour at all....
Send our F-15 Strike Eagles and Apaches over with a heavy payload lah , buy all these toys for show on NDP only for what ? :oIo:
To Singapore, they are terrorists.
To Indonesia, they are heroes.
Indonesia can choose to honour them in any fashion they like. Singapore KPKB also no use. I am sure Singapore would have done the same thing if situation has been the other way.
Technically we are in no position to protest since we were part of Malaysia then. The confrontation was a matter between Malaysia and Indonesia and it should be the Malaysian gov doing the protest. It doesn't really concern the gov of sinkieland. They should mind their own business.
Unless of course, the pappies are stirring shit to distract Sinkies from the domestic failings.
A real or imagined external adversary may also help to unite the people.
When I was in a KL library years ago, I managed to read an account of that incident from a book written by a British historian..
i read that when i was in the library in argentina. you make me laugh for some reasons...
Hw r these terrorists considered national heroes? Wtf man?! Commit such fuck up acts then still revered as heroes?! I agree that the indos shld nt do such a thing.. not respecting those who died innocently!

The airport's flight safety head, Indah Irwansyah, said several unidentified aircraft were tracked flying over Batam.
According to the report, the aircraft had come from Singapore and had flown through Sekupang district airspace toward Nipah Island.
"According to intelligence from the Indonesian Air Force and Indonesian Navy, the aircraft could be of the F-16 or F-4 type. We suspect they are from the Singaporean military," Indah said on Saturday.
Nipah Island has long been on Singapore's radar as it lies on the border between Batam and Singapore.
Indah said foreign militaries should notify the authorities of such flight activities, notification of which would then be given to local airport officials who would in turn inform commercial carriers.
"We weren't notified and there was no official statement published in advance," said Indah.
Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto, who at the time was in Batam, was made aware of the incident but refused to comment.

I have spent a lot of time warning Singaporeans about its hostile neighbors.
The good life that you are enjoying could evaporate very quickly if Indo or Malaysia ratchet up the hostilities.
