I think in times of war both countries will do what they have to
do... frankly I hope that never happens.
But yes, as much as I found some of the comments on MAF forums like
how S'poreans can never stand up to the "predator warrior" race
like the (Malaysian) Malays slightly racist and laughable (the same
person also questioned the loyalty of non-bumis in their armed
forces in the same thread).
I do not think the MAF is incompetent, however I think the way that
some S'poreans write them off as no real opponent if a conflict
should ever break out is rather silly. Of course the some MAFphiles
ideas on the SAF being a paper tiger might be totally misplaced as
well... as much as the SAF is untested, it is made up of citizen
soldiers who while not the most gung-ho of soldiers... would
certainly fight if it came down to it.
The (malaysian) malays being a "predator" warrior race comment
keeps getting to me though... not because it is funny but also
because it smacks so much of the talk during WW2 from the nazis of
how the aryan white was a superior fighting "warrior" race as
well... if this is the kind of talk we are getting from up north,
then it is a tad worrying. There is racism in every country, but to
be proud of it is another thing.
