All the ships that use the malacca straits will prob patronize the port at Tanjung Pelapas
Johor Supermarkets will go buzz.
Dr M will have no scape goat to turn to when elections are coming
Indonesians will have no flags to burn but the Malaysian's
No asian hating asian biatches
JI would prob be riding a rodeo all across the region
No lousy charity scams
Those darn pirates will prob have a field day at the job

The world can live without Singapore.
Pretty obvious. -
Can the world live w/o Singapore?
Probably not.
But can the world also live w/o Mongolia, Iceland, Antartica, Trinidad & Tobago, Conge and many others.....probably not too.
We do not have natural resources but that is good in a way that w/o oil, we will less likely be a political target...w/o rice, we do not have to sow, w/o rainforest, we are not likely to face a forest fire. We are geographically safe from natural disasters so be grateful we are where we are.
But we are here...and with our current mindset, no wonder people dont take us seriously. -
The world can't live without singapore because of our port, we're the busiest port in the world even though malaysia will try to fight with us but we are still superior
-
I think world economy will collapse if Singapore disapears because stock markets all over the world will tumble with all the investments here plus all the semiconductor capacity.

I watched S'pore Maritime Foundation on Channel NewsAsia yesterday. They said S'pore produces 60% of the world oil riggs. But I guess the other 40% (our competitors) will be laughing if S'pore disappear.Originally posted by NuLife:Dun u guys get what i mean???
I was trying to say, economically speaking,
is to find or create something that the world know us for.
Only then can we consider spore indispensible and successful. -

The Question: Can the world, do without Singapore?
My Answer: YES! -
It depends on how Singapore disappear, and what is left behind,
if a nuclear bomb in a container sailed into PSA and exploded, singapore will disappear, leaving behind a contaminated area, effectively making the surrounding area, including Johore, unsafe for any human activities, then the straits of malacca is blocked for sometimes, I am sure the world will miss singapore.
if the Rublic of Singapore disappear, leaving behind an island controlled by Osama, supported by JI in Indonesia, putting PAS in malaysia in power, and thus controlling the straits of malacca, I am sure the world will also miss singapore.
you never treasure anything until you lose it, that is the irony of life. -
If this the case, I think it will be more like Japan and US will loss a stable and constant flow of oil shipment rather than miss us.Originally posted by sgdiehard:if the Rublic of Singapore disappear, leaving behind an island controlled by Osama, supported by JI in Indonesia, putting PAS in malaysia in power, and thus controlling the straits of malacca, I am sure the world will also miss singapore. -

A Better Question: "Can planet Earth, go on without humans?"
I'd say, a RESOUNDING YES!!!
200% YES!
Nature will be so damn HAPPY, and RELIEVED! -
No, the supplies of oil for Japan are still available from the middle east, or can come from the west coast of the US. But when they have to negotiate with PAS in malaysia, work with thailand on the possibilities to transport by land, have their tankers sailing through straits of malacca under heavy escort and with their carrier groups no base to rest in Asia besides Japan, hmmm....if they don't treasure those, why do you think they consider us their important ally now?Originally posted by pat33:If this the case, I think it will be more like Japan and US will loss a stable and constant flow of oil shipment rather than miss us. -
I would think of this as strategic partnership rather than the phrase "miss us".Originally posted by sgdiehard:No, the supplies of oil for Japan are still available from the middle east, or can come from the west coast of the US.

Doesn't matter whether it is a strategic partnership, or a one night stand affair,Originally posted by pat33:I would think of this as strategic partnership rather than the phrase "miss us". 
if you having, you won't miss it; if you never have it, you won't miss it, but if you have it, and have it good and then you lose it, and have not or cannot find a replacement, wouldn't you be missing it?
