Reasons that provoke singapore to go to war?
-
I feel that the only thing that can cause this to happen is when malaysia cuts off our supply of water.You may think that we have the so call 'new water' but it is still not sufficient...Japan went to world war 2 because of embargo on its oil.Am interested to know other's opinions.............
-
Don't think so after we have 'NeWater'. More likely from our 2 bigger "friend" both North & South, cut us off from trade.... like blocking ships from the straits. Therefore stopping international trade to S'pore.Originally posted by crusader91:I feel that the only thing that can cause this to happen is when malaysia cuts off our supply of water.You may think that we have the so call 'new water' but it is still not sufficient...Japan went to world war 2 because of embargo on its oil.Am interested to know other's opinions............. -
the rest of the world's trade does pass through the malaya straits too. they will protest too.Originally posted by hloc:Don't think so after we have 'NeWater'.

Don't be crazy lar, we're such a tolerant society.
Other than the fact we need a campaign to educate people not to beat bus drivers up. -
Singapore will never fight because the neighbours are smart enough to poke only so much but not enough to provoke a war
you think neighbours stupid ah?.....got racist crap in their heads perhaps, but definately not stupid enough to risk national suicide -
When a barrel of water from them costs as much as a barrel of black gold...

I Agree. Our neighbours have been playing such brinkmanship game before, current and will be in future.Originally posted by idwar:Singapore will never fight because the neighbours are smart enough to poke only so much but not enough to provoke a war

They will Nudge and even Push but their political elite are sensible not to Shove us.... and it is not because they know what the SAF can do to them, BUT how fast the SAF can inflict the kind of material losses + what's the max limit they can absorb before throwing in the towel. -
Guess I won't be around to find out what happens to Sillypore should it go to war......getting out of here with family soon.....
-
Scold the LKY, sure will go war one.

I dunno. Either way, we will suffer the most economically. I mean, we are so trade dependent, a small war might set us back for many years. Maybe a decade.
We don't have much by way of economic self-sustainability to speak off. -
whatever may be said of the military, I do not doubt that saf is competent...but taken in perspective of Sillypore's size.....I would say that the best solution is to emigrat to a much bigger country like what me and many have done....better life too....besides.....how long can Sillypore last...especially in the asean region...nah...I'd rather not take my chances....better to be safe than sorry.....anywhere else is better Australia, North America....Europe....even China is a safer bet as it will be the next superpowerOriginally posted by Fingolfin_Noldor:I dunno.

Nah, it won't go to war one. Too expensive.
Maybe only in the case where if we lose, large reparations have to be paid then I guess Singapore will prepare to fight. -
Dun bullshxt lah, you're stuck in a 3-room HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio like the rest of us.

engage war because of water is stupid. They want to increae the price of water so what? go to war? i think pay the amount would be more cheaper than war. Its their water afterall..why so bitchhcy about it?

SAF may inflict more damage, but pales in comparison to the economic, societal, etc damages that will result.Originally posted by Black Aces:I Agree. Our neighbours have been playing such brinkmanship game before, current and will be in future.

Let's be frank. We pay a tonne for water as it is. The only one who's gonna be hurt is the Govt who makes money from selling water to us.

How you know if some renegade leaders take control over our neighbours' countries and cut off our supply........[/quote]

Don't Expect Special Treatment In IDR, Singaporean Investors Told
By Jackson Sawatan
SINGAPORE, June 30 (Bernama) -- Singapore companies intending to invest in the Iskandar Development Region (IDR) cannot expect privileged treatment from Malaysia just like the "generous treatment" accorded by China to investors from Hong Kong in Shenzhen province, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said.
"Singapore cannot expect the same treatment from Malaysia," he said in a special interview with Berita Harian to mark the daily's 50th anniversary tomorrow.
Lee, still an influential figure in the Singapore cabinet, said Singapore companies must evaluate whether their presence are welcomed at IDR as there are protests from among Umno leaders, especially from Johor.
"On one side Pas is trying to topple the prime minister but when Umno leaders, particularly from Johor, are also doing the same, Singaporean investors must seriously ask themselves when this attitude will change and whether they welcome us in IDR," he said.
The IDR, straddling 2,217 sq km in south Johor, is a massive project undertaken by the Malaysian government, which many observers say will complement its ultra-modern neighbour Singapore, just like Shenzhen to Hong Kong.
Lee said IDR could pose pressure to Singapore just like Shenzhen to Hong Kong.
The Singapore founding father said Shenzhen was wooing industries from Hong Kong to the province and to nearby towns.
"This has left Hong Kong with only a few manufacturing plants and with high unemployment rate. Hong Kong's economy is now dependent on the service sector," he told Berita Harian, the sole Malay newspaper in the republic.
"If Singapore loses many industries to IDR, we will face serious unemployment problem as not all factory workers can find jobs in the service sector," he said.
He, however, said Singapore would support IDR as the two countries are bound to gain from the multi-billion ringgit project.
"From a wider perspective, we believe it is good for the two countries, with Malaysia savouring the spin-offs from Singapore's economic growth, and similarly Singapore," he said.
Internal politics and protests to Singaporeans investing in IDR are to exploit the issues and to erode support to Abdullah's leadership and the co-operation in the development region, he added.
