S’poreans should stop going to Batam or Bintan for that matter…whether for some serious shopping, eating or for the seamy part. ‘Cos them Indo may think we a...

I like this one Mr. Green

Thats why recently our Air Force buy many F-15E Strike Eagle fighter planes. So that we are not even afraid of 5 prong attack. The plane can handle multi targets simultanieously.

Guys, i hate to say this. The SW monsoon is coming soon. That means dry season gonna be upon this region. That means them Indos gonna sure as hell encourage a whole lotta burnin to choke us real good! Last year, one of them Indo minister remarked SG should'nt complain about them smoke if SG dun wanna sign them extridation treaty. WTF man Evil or Very Mad

Tat's why i said, we should lie real low and dun give a damn if these countries suffer enomous catastrophy. They dun give a shit to our well being, why should we so much as send peanuts to assist them in their hour of need?

BTW, have you guys ever wondered how, after the worldwide Sunami donations, which amounted to billiions of US$$, Indo gov suddenly can afford to plan and purchase offensive military weapons??

Where does the money come from? The Sunami dragged them treasures from the deep Indian Ocean and dump 'em on Sumatra shores?

We should keep our donations and help the unfortunate SG citizens instead.

want to be popular for all the right reasons?

1. don't buy sand. buy palm oil.

2. don't buy telcos. try FDI.

3. don't pay 3 malaysian sen per 1,000 litre of raw water. pay 3 US sen instead.

4. don't mobilize for relief operations as if you're making a beach assault.

LOL.

givemeluck SG

A lot of Singaporean are frustrated but what can Singapore do?

Singapore is a tiny country....big heart do not count much. We help others in time of need doesn't mean they will do the same.

Our government is in a very difficult position...while welcoming foregin talents to our little red dot, a lot of others are leaving. These include foreginers and locals.

A lot of talented local leave Singapore because we are frustrated of being bully. Once I was overseas for a business deal and my counterpart told me they see Singapore as a city of Asean. We are simply too small.

That is the reason why more Singaporean decide to work overseas and stay overseas.

Don't get me wrong. I love Singapore but we have to be pragmatic.

lionnoisy SG

You can control the feelings.

Being small dunt mean we will be bullied.

How they can bully or squeze SG when gov has Plans A to Z
for all emergency?

Sands?Oil? you name it?

Weapons??

LazerLordz SG

That’s why we have to reach a stage where other countries will find that it is in their best interest not to even try to play bees and mosquitoes with us.

lionnoisy SG

2.Ai ya!!They are so ''poor''(not their pocket) that they
can only find SG to play .Never mind.

SG can play small and big with them.Serious,SG can play
really big.

We small citizens of SG just can play play,
win TO TO and 4D.

No need to worry the flag in Istana
will be torn down and changed over night.

ah_kwang SG

perhaps thats why we are so hated due to our staunchness. but hey we cant let them have everything they want also or we will be bullied. do this or do that we are always damned.

glock SG

Because we are a small red dot, they just want to bully us. If we are as big as Taiwan and have 20 million people, our neighbors will say nothing.
We shud be unfazed by this rantings. It is very common when these countries are experiencing problems and want to divert their peoples attention away from their problems.

It is rather naive to think that we can be pressured to sign the extradition treaty by barring sand exports to Spore. Whatever agreement we sign must have benefits for Spore too - that's the job of our Govt - to keep S'pore's interest at the top of their agenda.

Just stay cool.

Orcishwarrior SG

What about Foreign Territory/ Land procurement? i.e. US acquired Alaska from Soviet Union. I thought lands from either Indonesia or Philippine would be good afterall what singapore has in abundant is $$$$ Very Happy .

Singapore cant reclaim forever.Besides our neighbour arent gonna be a prepetually poor. They will eventually arrive @ a point of a developed nation.

LazerLordz SG

Procurement of land? Laughing

Look at the Riau Adminstration debacle.. one island sold for a pittance to a Singaporean..

glock SG

Life is not so easy & money cant buy you everything. Imagine that IF we cud buy an Indonesian island , the Indonesians will want reclaim it after a change of Govt or a demonstration in Jakarta.

1. malaysia's nonsense? can ignore.... what else can they come up with?

2. indon sand ban? wonder is it our govt direction must buy sand from indon? if not then is about buying it from elsewhere lor.. a bit more expensive lor... NTUC don't have get from 7-eleven lor....why must see it that the indon is bullying us.. If the batam hookers don't wana serve sg man, also see it as bully SG? Very Happy

since we are already getting sand from elsewhere, the indon should keep quiet... or try to think of something else maybe.

3. thailand shincorp? personnally I think temasek should take it as a lesson learnt. The Thai seldom make noise but this time we did step on their tail a bit. Of course ultimately the thai can't take back shin or the satellite by force or they will be digging their own grave..economically, .but is better to be more mindful when dealing with other country's sensitive property to avoid problem, especially third world asian country.

but these cases proves something... the leader of these country cannot control their subordinates, of course the thai is different cos the suborinate is now the leader behind the iron curtain.

just curious to know, other than noise... what did we actually lose?

those so-called big country near us, other than bigger in land size and population... err... what else that is so threatening?

spartan6 SG

Well lets put it in another way , they r making so much noise cos tats nothing they can do 2 us except complain Wink

audiovideo SG

according to a SPH senior writer, these neighbouring countries are uneasy about gobalization… foreigner going to their country and buy this and that as long as they have the money… then after they happily or unhappily sell something, they forgot about WTO and nationalism sets in…. then start to bark….. sigh… we kana the noise not because we small… just that we have $$$ and move too fast ahead of them and act too quickly before they remembered what they have sign on the dotted line.

Mr. Green

gaoxingdcf SG
