QUOTE(Einjahr @ Mar 27 2013, 10:02 AM) malaysia should work with Singapore. We are closer to the Singalions than Indon and Philippines. already are, under the five power defense agreement. despite all the squabbles between malaysia, sg and australia they're all still operating out of butterworth.Both Indonesia and Philippines are hostile towards Malaysia despite our best intentions.  |

QUOTE(ray123 @ Mar 27 2013, 10:46 AM) You only need a few hours for a decisive victory = one battle to win the strategic picture. 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(Einjahr @ Mar 27 2013, 05:27 PM) Nah... by that time Malaysia will be linked with Singapore, and both countries will pawn everyone. lol i agree with the other guy. indonesia has potential, the same way china had potential. back in the 60s when mao was ineptly destroying china's own economy everyone thought china was going to be an economic basketcase for centuries, but instead it jsut took one generation to reverse the stupid communist policies and china slowly reverted to where its economy should be, given the resources at its disposal.Not far fetched if you think about Singapore- Malaysia relations these days... both are in favor of linking the two countries economically and trends only point to increased collaboration. With the construction of Malaysia-Singapore transport connection, Iskandariah development among others, pretty soon our countries will be meshed with each other. Singapore has no choice but to buy up properties in Malaysia to expand, and Singapore dollars augurs well for malaysia. no reason to think indonesia wont do similarly. |
