agreed. there's a need for more debates about our defence
budget, how the money is spent.... if you look at previous years
debates on defence budget, you will find that how few questions
were asked and no insightful issues were raised. the same situation
outside the parliament.
IMHO, Mindef need to work on this. It is after all the largest
allocation for any ministry in the whole budget.
it is not just the largest, it is almost 1/3 (31.2 %) to be
exact.
while some forumers on this board are very excited about all the
new toys, don't forget money do not drop from the sky.
defence is important, but we must watch our spendings.
