Spore need not spend alot on defence if...

THE MINISTERS are no so big mouth to talk so much nonsense, and build better diplomatic ties with neighbours.

Singapore can reduce a lot of stress on their male citizens and tax less on the citizens.

Why there is so much fear of neigbhours?

What happen to the saying " a good neighbour( malaysia) is better than relatives(USA, CHINA) miles away"






SINGAPORE: Singapore will commemorate 25 years of total defence with a series of activities on February 15.

Called "TD25", the event will be held at the Suntec City Tropics Atrium.

Among the programmes lined up is a musical revue called "Five Pillars, One Roof", which will bring together various local talents.

Winning entries of a national animation competition called "N.E.mation! III" will be shown, alongside a collection of five short films produced by students on total defence called "Singapore 2034".

Visitors will also be able to enjoy interactive games such as jigsaw puzzles and giant board games that test participants on their understanding of total defence.

Singapore commemorates Total Defence Day every February 15, the day Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942.

Much as they would like to adopt the Sun Zi strategy of keep your friends close and your enemies closer, they have no one with the diplomatic savvy to execute the plan. All experts on doctrine but none with the balls to wash the latrine. Its really kinda funny to be waving a hatchet at your neighbor who owns the farms. Our leaders can learn to speak malay, english, chinese, indian but if they can't succeed in appearing chummy there's no point, might as well hire a good translator and spend more time walking around and learning the situation on the ground instead of listening to pandering bureaucrats who paint a pink and happy picture.

no matter what plans the MIWs can come up with, will be spoilt by one sinkie abusing his/her indonesian maid.

And the country would not have to pay so much in salaries if half of them were not around at all.
Wouldn't make a whole lot of difference.

Singapore should adopt WMD policy, it can be nuclear, Bio or chemical with a proven delivery system, conventional and unconventional.

The savings on the defense budget can be use to improve the lives of the people of our neighbor with the closest proximity.

Any territorial dispute to be negotiated and close.

Water problem with Malaysia should be negotiated, price adjusted and longer term supply contract signed

CPF of Malaysians to be return by installment.



Buying expensive hardware is a waste of time.

Singapore can be destroyed without a single shot fired from our neighbors.

But this government continue to deceive us that we need billions and NS to defend SG.

I suspect the budget, which details is classified most of the time, is a great hotbed for corruption and misappropriation.

Taiwan Chen Shui Bian is one such example, using the secret diplomacy fund to launder state fund to his own offshore account.
