Recently, there have been
calls for Malaysians to boycott US made products, in support of the
latest brutal invasion on the Palestinians in Gaza, which already
cost the lives of over 750 innocent civilians, especially non
combatants like women, children and old folks. We should also look
closely the other major supporters and 'strategic partners' of
Israel, in the terms of defense, especially people so close to
us.
SAR 21
assault rifles and ammunition have been used to brutalise and
massacre the defenseless and downtrodden non combatants
Palestinians in Gaza, including women and children. Little that the
world realise, SAR 21 automatic assault rifles are indigenous
weapon developed and manufactured by Singapore Technologies. The
CEO of Temasek Holdings is Ho Ching, the wife of Singapore Prime
Minister Brig. Gen. (NS) Lee Hsien Loong. Temasek Holdings is the
parent company to Singapore Technologies, a GLC.
Singapore,
have had very close and strategic partnership with the Israelis,
especially in defense since their expulsion from the Federation of
Malaysia 9 Aug 1965. Within two months, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew
received the Israeli Defense Attache based in their embassy in
Bangkok for immediate military assistance, in favour against India
and Egypt. Soon, six military advisers were dispatched to form the
Singapore's pioneer military unit; the First Infantry Regiment,
commonly known now as 1 SIR. The rest is as they say, is
history.
Till
present as being very good friends, Singaporeans still receive
military assitance, especially advance training from the Israelis.
Formalised military collaborations have been strengthened since
then, especially when formal organisations are formed for the
co-operation and development projects. The effort put by both
nations on R & D work on defense and strategic weaponry is
immense. The progress and direction all of these co-operation and
joint developmental work should be worried and frightened about.
Singapore is Israeli third most important strategic partner in
defense development.
Time an
again, Singapore is being coined as "The Israel of the East".
Hence, Malaysians should unanimously support the call to boycott
Singaporean products, in support of our brothers living vicariously
in their homes, now under siege and brutal
bombardment.

To date, Singapore has not exported the SAR-21 beyond small
quantities to various police and special forces units around the
world, including Indonesia, Peru, Morocco and Sri Lanka and
Blangadesh.
