Hmmm.......the island should be able to take the weight....

idwar SG

Afterthat, they can import PRC groupies...

CX SG

Hmmm.......the island should be able to take the weight....

oh grow up... the whole point of taking it to the ICJ was to have a matured settlement to the issue through impartial 3rd party arbitration.

malaysia's big boys toys will have no bearing on the verdict now.

should've just spent their time and money on preparing a stronger case. its not as if singapore's arguments were drastically different from its written submissions... it was available for all to read for MONTHS...

Atobe SG

Hmmm.......the island should be able to take the weight....

I wonder if those boys can handle the Ruski instruction manuals, or get those translated into Bahasa in time for it to get pass any surprises sprung by the stealthy Apaches guarding the island.

Not a pretty sight to see, if those big boys get fried in the steel coffins - which will only add to the dust polution raised by the ashes from the fires that clear the palm oil plantations.

This clinically clean island can surely take the weight of more ashes coming over from the border.

hloc SG

All will be made known on the 23rd.....

But I am wondering...... could Malaysia's Tank float all the way to Pedra Branca

tripwire SG

Hmmm.......the island should be able to take the weight....

its just a worthless piece of over priced junk.... whose only purpose is to enrich the wallet of some well-connected kaki.

Arapahoe SG

pity the people that station in that tower.

tripwire SG

pity the people that station in that tower.

tower? you mean the lighthouse? only got lighthouse keeper there... and of course... before someone correct me... our "gundams".

Arapahoe SG

I wonder what is the water level when it is high tide.

Jingle bell SG

LoL, send troops to Pedra Branca for? Sun tan?

While war is an extension of politics, politics isn't all about war.

Clap clap clap. Well said.

Jingle bell SG

"It is interesting to note the chinese words "国家" have "state" before "home". It goes to show sovereignty should exist before home, and in that order, without a country, one cannot "eat" (...in your words)"

"while people are quite happy and quick to pursue Carl Von Clauswitz's dictum, "an extension of foreign policy/politics"."

Doesn't apply to 21st century's globalized and interconnected world. I would love to read Jingle's thesis on foreign policy someday...

Hmm.... I suppose I subscribe to "What is not mine, I do not take. What is mine, I defend." Does that count towards foreign policy or just hot air.... Never thought I will make it to become minister, so did not really think about foreign policy

Jingle bell SG

I wonder what is the water level when it is high tide.

Not that I have been there, but I would assume (from reading) fishing is very possible during high tide. Therefore, our lighthouse keepers should be quite well fed... with fish, at least.

Kinjioleaf SG

From what I heard, water around the island is very choppy. It is subject to frequent inclement weather... hardly a place where one would consider developing a resort.

By itself, the island has very little to offer to anyone. However, it is in a strategic location mainly for the shipping lanes.

Arapahoe SG

with global warming and melting polar ice cap not sure what will be the impact

wului99 SG

as a local..i hope sg will win...but subjected to critisms fr our neighbour

Arapahoe SG

Not that I have been there, but I would assume (from reading) fishing is very possible during high tide. Therefore, our lighthouse keepers should be quite well fed... with fish, at least.

I wonder if it would be a good place to fish given the current.

Short Ninja SG

marine fishes around the rocks only
