Its end of another year. Its properly a good time to size up
what happen during the year and look ahead what will be our
potential threats to stabilities new ones vs existing although not
necessary military ones but politically could possible create a
watchful scenario in both to the neighbouring states, and to the
broader region
i will start off with home front.
Continue Terrorist threats ( the laterest killing of politician
increase result of unstable pakistan) I was wondering if singapore
foreign affair should be working with pakistan diplomatically to
reduce export of jihadists? Although working with Indian helps SAF
but we still do not fully engaging the problems.
Political stabilities for Thailand especially with its newly
runoff election. i believe general is still pulling the string from
behind, not sure how it would interact with the newly form
government? Any intervention would surely anger civilian, until
someone mistakenly pull the trigger and someone took the image onto
Youtube.
Malaysia increasingly Islamic grip on its citizen is still evolving
but would not surprise if more protest from minority. A few more
Ops manning perhaps.
Broader region. The Trouble Parallel ironically these countries
stack up like a Cake. Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, well
.
Myanmar slightly further.
Myanmar remained a sore eye would there be increase of rebel
conflict now that the push for reform has fail. Rebels see that it
has no future in the political process but to take up more
aggressive arms. China has itself to blame as it unintentionally
take up responsibilities of Myanmar as it protect its oil
interest.
Pakistan lawlessness will continue for the coming year. I know
allot of investment has already been pull out of Pakistan. i don't
see any Islamic teaching will be able to pull itself out of the
hole. Democracy does not create stabilities. Possible front for the
war on terror?
Iraq possible scale down and Afghan possible increase troop
level.
Iran an interesting dilemma for the newly elected US President. Its
direction will certainly affect the rest of the world.
Any prediction for SAF venturing new height for next year?
