no offence taken. I share your opnion too, on one hand they say
they will work to resolve issues on other hand they keep raising
old issues and creating new ones.
It is like this, imagine yourself trying to cook someone. You can't
possibly bathe him in 100 degree of hot water as he will not agree,
but you can put him in warm water first, turn up the tempreatured 1
degree at a time until he's so cooked and doesn't know it.
with that many singaporeans do not realise that malaysians have
sinister intentions, they are not so nice as they seem to be, from
the front they want us to spend money at their shopping malls,
assure us that the current issues are resolvable that singapore and
malaysia destinies are tied together all that BS ... then they run
through our pockets by competing with us in the legal arena like
container ports, air passenger/cargo ... nothing wrong with that
right? all nice and legal right? They have all the land oil palm
and natural resources, instead of developing those they choose to
compete with us on what we need to survive. I say they are trying
to weaken us or come on par with us on the economic front.
On the military front in recent years they have bought a range if
equipment ranging from sophisticated long range russian/american
jet fighters, state of the art submarines, Thermobaric weapons type
used by russina to roast afganistans in the 80's, missle artilliary
systems from brazil, howitzers that outclass our own, 200 odd
infantry fighting vehicles from middle-east and more recently a big
batch of polish high tech main battle tanks. Now they are trying to
train 450,000 national service man
how did a country that has earned the enimity of american investors
still able to buy so many high tech toys? They do that by using
revenue from singaporeans and approx 1 million who visit each day,
who spend at their shopping malls, petrol, golf course, hotels,
restaurants, buy their cigarettes visit their brothels and ktv
lounges.
During 1987-1989 many people don't know about this incident, didn't
appear in the papers. During our national day event, 10,000
paratroopers(special forces units) from malaysia and indonesia
jumped from planes and landed approx 10km from the johore border in
mersing. 10KM is a symbolic mark because 30 km away is where our
lifeline-PUB pumps are located. They landed in between us and the
pumps and waited to see our reaction. Convince me this is not a
sinister intention.
I was at home that time and we were having house guests over for
dinner and I was watching TV. First time I ever saw the Fighting
Spirit flashed on TV. One of our guest was a Major from amoured
unit was simultaneous paged and asked to return to unit, his wife
and children looked on fearfully.
One day we will have to face them, it will be a very hard fight,
even if there are singaporeans in this forum who frequently go
spending in malayisa who think current spate of issues are
government problems and not theirs, don't think like that becasue
it is your problem. If you don't care about these issues at least
turn and look at your son or brother or cousin who may one day have
to face them with such type of odds.
Please don't go to malaysia to spend there.
