QUOTE(ray123 @ Mar 27 2013, 10:46 AM) depends on how acrid the sentiments are. if its really bitter, the 'losing party' will bear as much punishment as it takes to win it. in any case, trade-based economies like sg and malaysia (and indeed most of sea) will never declare (at least initiate) a war. it'd kill trade and trust and fdi, which is basically what the whole region is all about. |

QUOTE(e36.hartge @ Mar 27 2013, 10:49 AM) Just like USA's "Shock and Awe"campaign at iraq 10years ago?don't know how many thousands of US personnels died since that That's because the Americans wanted to stay in Iraq. They won the battle with the plan but they had no idea on how to actually pacify the country. A decisive victory would be something like Israel's pre-emptive air strike during the 6-Days War. The moment they achieved air superiority, Israel was in the driving seat for the war. |

nothing surprising there..Singapore has a siege mentality and actually doing quite good in the defence of their country. Indon has a wide and large territory to protect, together with its vast oil fileds, so they need to modernize their armed forces..

i Hope Malaysians wake up to the sobering reality that the Philippine and Indonesian Government are not your friends no matter how far your "roots" may go.
Do Malaysians even remember what MAPHILINDO is? These two faced shits only work as far as it benefits themselves. Once the climate is right, they'd stab you in the back in a heartbeat. Bury the imperial age ! Its over! why build bridges when they keep burning it down? |

They sure know, but there are just too many who believe working with SG is a type of sin and racial betrayal. They see SG as 'big satan' and ID/PH as 'tiny satans'. America the 'super satan' while Israel 'mega satan'.Do Malaysians even remember what MAPHILINDO is? These two faced shits only work as far as it benefits themselves.

She is surrounded by hostile neighbours who will stop at nothing to see its destruction. Is it a wonder that this sentiment is prevalent to this day ? |

Is it a wonder that this sentiment is prevalent to this day ? lol. turn back to 1991.Singapore national day (9th Aug). Suddenly MY-INA decide to hold paratroop exercise just kilometers away from sg border. QUOTE Motive behind misreading of book on SAF by David Boey BILATERAL ties between Singapore and Malaysia have gone through a bad patch lately, with verbal spats turning distinctly belligerent. Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said on Dec 31 last year: 'Singapore has two choices: If it refuses to compromise, go to war.' Adding to the strain were reports in Malaysian newspapers that used extracts from a book by British academic Tim Huxley, titled Defending The Lion City: The Armed Forces Of Singapore, out of context. Dr Huxley supervised my master's dissertation on Singapore's defence policy when I studied at the University of Hull in England several years ago. The preface of his contentious book cites a Singaporean journalist who 'contributed substantially to my knowledge of the subject'. I am the journalist mentioned. I will point out later how his book has been misread. But first, some comments on Singapore-Malaysia political brinkmanship. A similarly tense period occurred in 1991 when Malaysia and Indonesia staged joint military manoeuvres, code-named Exercise Malindo Darsasa 3AB, on peninsular Malaysia from July to August. This was then the largest military exercise between Malaysia and Indonesia. The highlight of the exercise involved dropping paratroops in southern Johor, just 18 km from Singapore's border. The airborne landing site was just minutes away by car from the Causeway. From Singapore's perspective, the exercise was seen as a deliberate ploy to test how the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) would react to a large-scale military exercise on its doorstep. And lest Singapore's defence planners missed the message, the airdrop was codenamed Pukul Habis (Malay for 'Total Wipeout'). It was also executed with unprecedented proximity to Singapore on Aug 9 - Singapore's National Day. This post has been edited by cks2k2: Mar 27 2013, 12:13 PM |
