Really? You think so? You forget that our soldiers will be attack a heavily URBANIZED location. I think even our own army specialists on this forum will admit that fighting in an urban area results in ridiculously high casualties for the attacker.

Than there's the civilians to worry about, or are you one of those idiots who also thinks that we can indiscriminately fire on civilians? Seriously? You don't have friends, family, or relatives working there?

You know what a war crime is, right? You want Malaysia to be regarded as the next Syria?

Edit: Would like to add that a large number of the civilians are expats. You want to massacre citizens of US and Europe? Yeah...smart move...

Not so much offended, as in I just think it really weird that some idiots here think that war is so simple. Can just attack anything and shoot anything and not think of the consequences.

Really? Let's explore this from a serious angle now shall we?

What have we gained? Any natural resources over there we can use? Nope. Singapore's value to the world is its human and financial resources. Both of which would cease to exist should there be a conquest of SG. The skilled civilians will flee as would the money. There's no way that our clumsy economic management will make them both return.

And victory would have been achieved at what cost? Remember that our troops will have to go INTO the island. There's no such nonsense as bombing it from a distance. If we're just going to shell them, they can shell us back AND do it with US fire support (you think the Pacific Fleet won't roll in to their rescue?). We'll need to go in, and we cannot dilly-dally about it either less the US and the UN intervene with their own ground forces.

So, what do you think of a rushed attack on an urban area? There will be lots of casualties for sure. A LOT on our side. More so than on their side, militarily speaking. Quite a lot of civilians casualties on SG's side too.

Either way, our population statistics will change. Let's see, most of our army are Malays. Most of SG's population is Chinese...the racial balance WILL change...and next election, we'll vote BN out.

Hey, maybe its not such a bad idea to invade SG after all...yeah, let's do it!!!
