One look and one can tell that this story is yet another MULE
Malaysian-military Urban LEgend. It fits perfectly into the
Malaysian misconceptions, sterotypes and mindsets with little
regard for logic or reason, probably the reason they even bought it
in the first place.
Basically, this story is prefect for the Malaysian preception of
Singapore as a proud and poweful neighbour who likes to intimidate
them with its military, that needs to be cut down to size, and at
the same time playing up the patriotic "Malaysia boleh" factor to
make them feel a little better about themselves.
In reality such a raid is nonsense. It would be a sensless,
diplomatic disaster in any case, and not even one Malaysia would be
willing to make. Imagine the implications on its standing in ASEAN
and the rest of the world when Singapore cries foul over what they
did. Malaysia's standing and credibility as a country would hit
rock bottom, lower then they already are, not to mention badly
damaging ties with Singapore. There are so many reasons why such a
raid would mess up themselves and hence there are good reasons why
not to carry it out.
Only Malaysian internet camo clowns, with little regard for the
logical and political implications will dream up this kind of
nonsense and then propagate it. Unfotunately due to the innate
Malaysian ability to buy half-truths, fiction rapidly becomes
"widely-known fact".
The truth of the matter is, it hardly does either country good to
mess around with each other's national security, either by raiding
or sending jet incursions. Esp. when despite all their differences,
they are basically still allies.
Don't buy a single word of the story at all. It reads straight from
self-serving fantasy, which apparently some malaysians alien to
logic like to live in.
