Singapore should Take Back Christmas Island
-
Singapore island, Christmas Island and Cocos Island will form a huge triangle where we can claim all the sea resources.
The area would be size of Australia.
Law of the Sea lah...... Singapore now bigger than Indonesia.
.........no more little red dot -
By applying your logic, the Pacific Ocean belongs to USA it is now larger than Russia.Originally posted by idwar:Singapore island, Christmas Island and Cocos Island will form a huge triangle where we can claim all the sea resources.

Of Course the Pacific is USA's swimming pool.......that's why they have the 7th Fleet to protect their interests and harass everyone.
If someone attacks USA, they can resurrect from the ashes of defeat.
If someone attacks Singapore and Singapore is defeated, Forever there will be no more Singapore........ that's the fate of nations with small land /sea mass.
A bit of history here: there was a Oversea Chinese Kingdom in Palembang (Indonesia) in 1402 AD.
Admiral Cheng Ho (Zheng He) passed by and destroyed this Kingdom inspite of the fact that he was from China. (He was Muslim actually, wearing Chinese Navy uniform)
The Oversea chinese Kingdom of palembang NEVER came back, and Chinese rule in indonesia was OVER........heheheh...... -
If we were to spread our defence over such a wide area, it will be EASIER for potential aggressor to pick them out ONE by ONE. Stupid idea.Originally posted by idwar:Of Course the Pacific is USA's swimming pool.......that's why they have the 7th Fleet to protect their interests and harass everyone.

Singapore indeed will benefit if it can have access to another island in the pacific.
Recently one of the pacific island was near bankrupt but one of our Singapore companies Royal Brother took over the loan and in the process gaining control of large tracts of land in this island.
This news was published in the Straits Times. I cannot quite remember the island now.
If our Temasek really must invest in overseas investments, it will not be a bad idea at all to take over islanders' debts which in effect give us the extra breathing space for people recreation, military training and emergency refuge in the event of a crisis.

why this topic. we are the one selling the island now ppl are talking taking it back. what for? as i mention, just reclaim land until we can vitually walk into the johor water territory.

Buying Christmas Island is a waste of government funds. The money should be spent on building platform screen doors at elevated MRT stations instead.Originally posted by vito_corleone:hmm...since Singaporeans are buying up Perth I dont see why we shouldn't buy X-mas Island..but what the heck do you wanna do with a little island? rear pigs and chickens? -
Is it something money can buy ?
