hey ferryman,

you seems to be the narrow-minded culprit stirring up sentiments between MYs and SGs here. what a shame on you for your countrymen!

i suggest u read my first post in this thread and try figure out why i wrote such poo.

You called my posting poo yet you are unable to refute the points I have made?!?

So which part is not true?

SAF has been enjoying both qty as well as quality since perhaps the 70s?

Or the apathy attitude of MY govt since independence till perhaps the 80s?

Or the part that Malaysians want to be on par with us militarily with high hope since the latest modernisation programs, but feel frustrated with the special number "18", but at least still able to be on par with SG at least in term of "quality", but with recent purchases of equipment by SG , that notion has been quashed too?

Or the corruption by the Umnoputra's cronies over defence purchases and contracts, getting more expensive purchases, low quality products with long delay??

The reason you did not refute my points becos you know all the above is true, and the truth hurts, but instead of confronting the truth, Malaysians tends to hide them and will attacks others that speak up abt the truth, seen this kind of behaviour again and again, by other Malaysian posters or by UNMO threatening sedition!!!!

Such face saving personal attack rather than confronting the truth is a typical shortsightness of Malaysia, that is why MY still has a lot of shortcoming like cronyism etc.

That is why I said, in the forseeable future, the status quo will remain, becos Malaysia is not confronting all their shortcomings!!!!

Let's me tell you the difference between Singapore forum amd MY forum, if anyone posted untrue here, it will be attacked , regardless whether who is the one posted it.

In fact, a lot of time I see heated debate in SG forum and elsewhere due to difference in POV becos we Singaporean like the seek the truth and confront any shortcoming we see rather than hide it.

That's why SG could developed so fast and become first world nation, apathy attitude is for loser!!! Laughing

Ferryman is just frustrated with Singapore armed force assets being alway more or above this country in term of qty and quailty as well.

Like he say, they pay huge money and brought a lot of all brand new equipment like 211adnan, PT/91m, Submarine, Su-30 and Astros II thinking that they would catch up and they finally got the chance to boost and talk about it.

But sad fact was the celebration and boosting was cut short as Singapore brought new equipment like F-15s and Himars ....

Think what hurt the most, is that Singapore just brought 2nd hand Leopard 2 and 2 old submarine .... at low cost and 2nd hand which is more then enough to counter their brand new super expensive equipment....

Yep it can be hard to swallow for ferryman - when his tax is wasted on expensive brand new equipment, and singapore just easily counter it with cheap 2nd hand stuff... he just letting his frustration out.

tankfanatic SG

lol why a is this become S vs M?

ferryman2393 SG

like i said?

as my earlier suggestion, please read my first post in this thread and try figuring out why i wrote such poo....

CenturionMBT SG

oie mai lai hor. Can stop comparing each other’s dick or not. Sibei pointless.

Honestly, I don't wanna guess the point of your FIRST post. All you did was paraphrase what Gary1910 said from an M'sian point of view. Perhaps you'd like to explain for yourself what you meant?

Lets not play word games and insist that they subtly implied "this and that." This is a discussion forum, lets get our points across directly so that we don't need to second guess each other's intentions. Word games are for the politicians, we are just netizens.

ferryman2393 SG

man, u need to learn to read between the lines.

for those who are also as intrigued, i'll give u fellas a clue. this thread was doing fine until i 'paraphrase' what somebody said from my POV. obviously what he wrote tickled my fancy. so, read what he wrote. he obviously understood what i meant as he tried to justified it later on but as can be expected from him, his reaction to my "read what i wrote" was as usual....himself.

p/s wanna guess what his reaction to this will be? no prizes though...LOL.

storywolf SG

Like you say - what you write is Poo !!!

let move on and ignore "ferryman" since he already say what he wrote is totally Poo .....

Shotgun SG

I don’t see anything wrong with Gary1910’s post. He may have biased views, but at least he doesn’t beat around the bush and gets to the point. Like I said, nobody likes “Reading between the lines” on a discussion forum like this.

FireAndHell SG

hey........this here forum is about the said headings.....so....
Just ignore this "ferryman" thingy and his post.....ain't nothin to fret about......he's just a "ferry-man" get it?? Razz

He's just a distraction to an otherwise interesting topic......Himars rockets!!!

Wow!!......kick ASS rockets!!!!!! wooohoooo!!! Twisted Evil Cant' wait for them Himars to be a coming to SG.....hehe!

tankee1981 SG

Yar, lets get back to topic pls. Or else we will be deem insensitive by our new member! BTW welcome! Very Happy

borgkilla SG

errrr Question
Halo friens
get back to topic

HIMARS Rockets Rolling Eyes

BabyRex SG

OK back to the topic.

I still don't understand why 18 Launcher system and 9 trucks.
So do the 18 Launcher system include 18 trucks and the 9 trucks are resupply vehicles or the 9 trucks are for 9 of the launchers.

In the second case, what are the remaining 9 launchers for? To be retrofitted on our own Broncos?

Or maybe fit it on our remaining 9 Patrol Vessels. Hahaha. Imagine the PV moving up along the the Straits of Malacca or the South China Sea and launching from there, effectively making the entire coastline of the northern neighbour within range. Twisted Evil

I resisted the temptation to respond to him and waited for you guys to respond, becos I believe no one here like his BS word game, he has no valid point to present therefore he resort to word game to confuse everyone here!!!

How pathetic!!!

He is no new guy here , more like a lurker, and I have cross sword with him many times elsewhere, he likes to play his word game and at times like to act blur.

For example, when he make invalid statement and others presented points to refute his statement, he kept quiet for a 1 day or 2 , then present his same old statement again, totally ignore the previous points others have make, so the debate to go on and on becos of his word game and act blur antics, like some pathetic loser politician we know!!! Laughing

Enough said.

Btw , anyone want to read abt how the Umnoputra shiponing their defence budget, read this, very entertaining!!

Graft in Malaysias Defense Ministry

Like I said in the other forum:

M142 HIMARS itself describes a system with 1 missile pod mounted on a 5 tons 6x6 truck.

So when one talk abt HIMARS, it includes the truck as well.

The 9 M1084A1 are 5 ton Cargo Truck with MHE( Material Handling Equipment or simply a crane) are I believe they are Resupply Vehicles which should be able to carry one pod of rocket/missile, if it is attached to a trailer, the trailer could carry another pod , i.e. 2 pods for reloading in the field.

And I also believe that SAF tends to standardised things especially such a small number, I dun think that 9 on the 6x6 truck and 9 on some other platform.

Shotgun SG

So in other words, the total count is 27 vehicles in all?

gary1910 SG

No, there is one more, M1089A1 Wrecker which is a Recovery Vehicle, I have already posted the detail here:

Shotgun SG

wait, so its 28 vehicles in all???? Thats quite a bit.
