I am laughing my ass off at the depth of Sinkies thinking abilities.Why?
Because when elephants makes love or fight it's the little flies like us Sinkies that dies.
Let me make it simple for your minds.If the world war 3 opens tomorrow...China,India and Indonesia will survive.Singapore would be sent back to the stone age--and the rest of ASEAN would be set back another 100 years at least.In that respect,at least LKY is smart enough to know who to kowtow to and when to bow low.
Let say China takes control of South China Sea with all the islands and anything within....that than set the precedent.Fucktards just go and take a look at Indonesia in the atlas.Boy! it controls the entire ocean that lies between South China Sea and Indian Ocean.Unwittingly China than wakes a sleeping giant.Singapore,for your information can be claimed by Indonesia both on geographical and historical ground.
Don't believe?...go and take a second look at Singapore & Indonesian flag.How startling and identically the same !You think Dr.Goh and Rajaratnam were idiots when they made that choice?
Even China would be foolish to fool around with Indonesia.Do I hear you saying Indonesia is weak militarily?Oh yes!..for now.But when China makes a blatant move than Europe and US will arm Indonesia for good.That is what LKY does not want US to do hence he is hedging against Indonesia with Islam-phobia......but this phobia will expire too.Perhaps,in the next decade or so.Than trouble starts for all SEA small nations.
You encourage China now and that will trigger Indonesia to follow.In fact when Indonesia arises,it can choke the entire East from West.Just look at the map again.Than China would regret having picked on small nations.China should learn from the British;on how to subdue without resorting to violence.As a matter of fact,the Ming Dynasty did that rather well.Carried a big stick and walked all over the oceans.
