Ya, we build mega bases for USN and USAF but not openly admit it....... If not enough we'll buy our influence thru' funds from GIC........ If not enough, w...

nismoS132 SG

like constant intrusion of air space, stationing of troops at strategic areas etc.

what happens 1st?

diplomatic channels or immediate military retaliation?

12qwaszx SG

singapore sure diplomatic solution lah. Otherwise, we launched our ICBMs from our 50 odd isles. Hahahaha.. Laughing

wuming78 SG

singapore's policy is to engage the military only when all diplomatic channels have been exhausted.

Xprobe SG

what you think will happen? given we are garang no nonsense sporeans, we will mobilize and man ALL STATIONS with STRICT instructions NOT to be issued live ammo.

then we start to pull strings and some 3rd party who owes us money or owe us a BIG favor and which this neigbor also listen to will intervene and advise about the situation.

then our media corporations will air "One people, One Nation" and "We are the world" 24/7.

at last, someone high up and have relatively better relationship with the neigbor will go over there and behind close doors and say: Eh...mai ang ni kuan la...we all friend friend la...bad for property and stock market you know, why like that?" "Aiya, dont bargain anymore la, I apply loan for you from IMF la, but hor you must give me somethings as collateral la, hey, what about the towers given that you are not collecting full rent anyway!"

hehehehehehehe

You should also see our Gundams waving hi to the custom officers at JB, and the tourists at Sentosa....and Raffles City will be finally revealed as the ulimtate Telsa Coil Tower Mr. Green

NismoS132, you won't get any useful answers from us here, as we are all bounded by the Offical Secrets Act. We have no wish to have MSD knocking on our doors, and invite us to drink kopi. So please don't ask any more sensitive questions.

If you are anxious / curious to know more, just go read Tim Huxley Book "Defending the lion city", but read it with a pinch of salt, as the info inside is not exactly accurate.

If you are a SG male, then you will understand when you are called up. If you are from our friendly neighbours, Thank you for your interest....we Singaporeans are too busy with our daily lives, not interested in any aggresive moves. Wink

There is a dept that deals with the "What if scenario" in the Prime Minister Office(PMO).

It's OPSEC, just leave it at there. You can imagine all you want.

HTH.

I think you should sign on SAF. Then piah to work inside the highest level of SAF. Then you have a chance to play their wargames with very specific aggressors, down to their formations and weapons, then all your questions will be answered. Mr. Green

spencer99 SG

Whatever happens, using armed force is the last resort.

Even if we prevail in the potential armed conflict, our infrastructure will be destroyed and our relations with neighbouring countries will be strained.

Remember, SAF is a deterrent force.

84mmrr SG

As long as UMNO is in power, they will be busy making money not war. they are just like us, prosperity is a priority .......In fact, we are fighting with them in the area of economy. We should get more worried over the economy. Poor economy = no money for defense

PAS is a total different kettle of fish.

It won't even reach the point where the enemy is mobilizing. All diplomatic channels will have been tried before the enemy even gets to that state. If even one enemy ground unit of battalion strength or more comes down to the border, there will already be an official diplomatic warning that it may considered an act of war.

By the time the enemy is even close to a war posture, the SAF will be fully mobilized already. We won't even let it get to the point where they are ready to fight, we will certainly hit them first. So your question is purely hypothetical, or only if our SID is fast asleep.

Our neighbors know this -- that is why they kpkb so much about it. Of course, Singapore always prefers a diplomatic solution, and we are ready to discuss patiently for as long as the other party wants. But any military move will be met immediately by our own. We are definitely not nice guys -- but nice guys finish last.
