Think about it this way. WITH NS, our boys are showing
themselves to be pure sissies many incapable of even running 2.4km
without dropping dead. NOW imagine if WITHOUT NS, what state our
'army' boys would be in.
Don't forget, our relations with indonesia and malaysia aren't
so flowery. Indonesia and Malaysia have tried to invade us on our
first National Day, They will try again.
Think abt it this way: ever asked urselves WHY malaysia still
bothers to sell us water AT A LOSS? go google it. during the
negogtiations of our water agreements, LKY once threatened Mahatair
with all-out war if he ever dared to cut off our water supply. NOW
ask urselves why big nations like Indonesia and Malaysia would be
afraid of SIngapore?
FYI: ASK urselves why Indonesia, even if it were to have to stop
supplying natural gas in the near future, strives to maintain its
energy contracts with singapore by spending so much effort to look
for an alternative?
PLUS, the fact that currently, Singapore has the best-equipped
army plus the largest airforce and navy(indonesia barely matches up
with its WW2 era planes trololol) in the WHOLE of South-East Asia.
Try to argue numbers with me, tht goes to show too you guys FAIL at
understanding modern warfare :)

ans: under a court of law be it military or the civilian.did
they or did they not attack?
if they did attacked spore in the past using armies...indo
n malaysia would have the United Nations and its economic
sanctions charged on them and thats enough to bring indo n
malaysian back into stone age again..and spore would still stand as
it is with is flag till today along with a 2 years of national
service.
but back to this reality,indo n malaysia never sent any
battaliions over to take over city hall in spore....but its
ok...spore still got the 2 years of national service which is
rather ineffective and wasteful.in reality 1 year of ns is enough
and all folks should be sent to be footsoldiers inbstead of
officers and ncos.those regulars should have that job.much
money can be saved as a result of shorter ns and be used to build
better ships,aircrafts and reserach and developement of army
equipment.we are heading towards 22nd century aqnd should t use old
20th century know how.
