Technology is such a powerful force multiplyer in case you dont know....a 140cm guy weiging 50kg can just take out a gun and kill the 200cm 100kg guy...[quote]
Of cos i noe it is powerful, but do u think big man like Iraq can put Singapore down within a mth??

Good for you to have a big budget. Well its your money you can spend anyway you deem fit.Originally posted by Lowclassman:Every year, I spent S$10,000.00 on home defence security system.![]()
Just as how the Germans were made the beleive all Jews were bad and how Arabs are made to hate Jews by default today.Originally posted by qpicanto:It is amazing/sad how the Japanese citizens were galvanised into thinking/believing that their ruler from the royal family is a all almighty being.
The idea is not to win...Dont you get it?are you so thick headed?We just have to be able to hurt them badly enough such that they will think twice before attacking us...sides iraqis cant attack us...they dont have much of an army....try using something like pakistan or Iran instead...Originally posted by 040668f:Of cos i noe it is powerful, but do u think big man like Iraq can put Singapore down within a mth??

So true....especially with allies like USA....they are so prone to covering their own asses and economical interest...Originally posted by Yi Peng:I don't think we are counting on others to provide security for us, that would be shear foolishness.
It is perfectly normal. Most ancient monarchies claim their right to rule by asserting that their mandate comes from divinity. The Chinese Emperor, the ancient Kings in Europe, etc.. This idea came from the time when science is just a trivia..Originally posted by qpicanto:It is amazing/sad how the Japanese citizens were galvanised into thinking/believing that their ruler from the royal family is a all almighty being.
If I'm the minister for Defence, I would acquire Nuclear weapon for our defence. Instead of wasting so much tax payers' money on small things and change and change after when the weapons are outdated. Don't you think that I'm more brilliant than the ministers. As I have also mentioned about the space tour programme earlier. Now, singapore is moving on to have a spaceport. So I can foresee better than any of our ministers here. Do you guys think that our ministers are worth multi-millions dollars salaries? Compare to my pathetic salary,......where I always face with MONEY NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!Originally posted by geodome:It is perfectly normal.

Back to the defense budget, is it so expensive to run SAF?
Personally, I think Singapore should upgrade her naval and air capabilities, eg. installation of long range missiles and more powerful destroyers and submarines. At the same time, the commando unit should be expanded.

Why would you want to promote the arms race and equip your aggressors?Originally posted by equlus84:I think it is alrite to spend so much to defence. Most of the ppls previous said stuffs, I'm not going to repeat again......but, there is one clear advantage that all of u all have left one. Singapore spends lots of money mainly into R&D which in turn help to reap lots of profits.
For example, ST made SARS detection kit and makes thermo-imaging devices to check the body temperature during the crisis.
Next, it is the weapons made locally tat is sold abroad. Eventhough Singapore may never compete with US when it comes to weapon sophistication nor Russian for bargain price weapons.....Singapore have carve out it's own niche.
I think they are gearing themselves to become specialize in SE Asia weapon requirement.These are some examples.
Indonesia:
Ultimax100 saw
FH-88 artillery
CIS 40mm auto grenade launcher
AMX-13 upgrades
Thailand:
SAR-80
M16S1
45m patrol vessels
Philippines:
Ultimax100
CIS 40mm AGL
R&D in defence science DSO,is it funded by ST or Mindef budget. anyone can enlighten??Originally posted by equlus84:I think it is alrite to spend so much to defence.

In fact the imperial troops went bit further, they delicated their lives to the emperor in the name of worship, nationalism and militarism. They were brainwahed to think it was morally right to attack China. They were ready to die before dishonour.Originally posted by Yi Peng:Just as how the Germans were made the beleive all Jews were bad and how Arabs are made to hate Jews by default today.
