If Singapore has second land, it would be more secure for
national interest,
the enemy had to think twice because it's become impossible to take
over
the whole nation in first invation.
The second island can simply used as a army camp, and a national
park for
tourists in the peace years. If it can be a new industry park would
be better.
then if the main island under attack, Singaporeans can still have
an
interim government in own land, not in third country land, so even
the
enemy establish a puppet government in main island, it's difficult
to gain
worldwide recognization, as the original legitimate government
is
still operating in Singapore own land.
If Christmas island is impossible to recover, I suggest Singapore
to buy
another tiny land from other friendly and poor countries. SEA
location is best,
then may be south America, Africa, whatever country willing to sell
maybe
500-1000 square KM to Singapore from a few hundreds millions to a
few billions.
EVERY YEAR, Sg government spends about 4.2 billions in the military
issue,
so if pay just a few billions at ONE TIME and significantly improve
the national
security, it should be a good deal, isn't it?
It's a very very sesitive issue, but also very very important
for
Singapore security, and, it maybe a good deal in finance,
too.
you saw government selling land to private companies at which
price
per square meter, if Singapore can develop the new land to a
successful industry park, then the real estate revenue in next
20
years may cover all the cost for buying the land.
50 years before, what is the land's price of Singapore, and
50
years later, how much it increased?
The new land can be developed by new immigrants from India
and
China, no need to migrate from Singapore main island, and
issue
the policy to prevent the new immigrant to migrate to main
island
within 20 years, thus the main island labor market will not be
affected,
and the new island can attract a lot investments because the labor
cost is very very low, similar to China and India, but it's
corrupt-free, has a sound legal system.
