Rsaf regular married to a muslim wife

nicely put. i know that circumstances call for things to be the way they are, but i hope that one day viewing each man based on his race will change, cause we're all singaporeans.Originally posted by tankee1981:This is the same case in Armour camps as well. But I certainly hope that this will change soon,at least loosen up a little, as this will affect the morale of our muslim brothers in arms. Because they will felt that they are being side-lined and being discriminated against. I understand the need for such arrangement but times are different now. We are no longer at the nation's infancy stage,we are maturing as a society and as a country.The current defence situation in Singapore have also changed. Therefore,we should at least loosen up a bit and gradually change to an SAF which practises real meritocracy.
hell, i have many malay friends, and i'm half-malay too and i think that the malays should not be classified as a whole. extremists and potential terrorists are isolated cases and can also occur in other races.
someone said many malays/muslims don't like to serve in the army anyway and instead, go private. this may be true to a certain extent but knowing that they are very unlikely to rise up through the ranks would indefinitely put the thought of being a reg, away.
well, i have a situation myself. i'm mixed, malay-chinese, but i have malay name with muhamad inside it also, but i'm a christian now and i'm going to remove the muhamad in my name, so how? would that affect the prospect of me being assigned to more sensitive areas where there are hardly/not many malays assigned to it? -

If I recall, UN rules allows for acts of self-defense, and many have twisted the rule's interpretation of self-defense to include pre-emptive strikes as a first wave in self-defense as long as the targeted country can show proof that it has been targeted and is in high likelihood of being in danger.
If you see each other as chinese/malay and indian , Singapore can never be united.
The story about that guy working STA in PLAB , snapping pictures of planes and bases is that true? thats 1 example of a black sheep.
There is a certain sensitivity involved because , Singapore will not wait for troops to amass on Johor's border with singapore/Bintan/Batam .
Singapore is likely to draw blood from it's potential invaders should it see any need it be. Hence , it will pre-empt the battle.
If Singapore waits for the enemy to invade first , then it is game over .
Pre-empting the enemy means that you are most likely going to fire and kill harmless troops who are readying themselves who might or might not have the intention to fight.
That means while the invaders are sleeping in order to ready for the battle tomorrow or awaiting further orders , you are going to violate United nations
"rules" which was imposed in the first place .Cause in other words, you become the aggressor.
On the other hand , If the battle is done in Singapore , it means the potential invader becomes the aggressor , Singapore would not risk the chance of violating UN "rules" , but it would be too late for singapore to react by then.
Hence, most likely , as a soldier during wartime , our NS man will be likely to kill an innocent soldier who is resting along the border getting ready for further instructions plans/pullout.
Thats the risk , Singapore faces ... with the UAV today , we will be the eyes to see what happens and apply[b] decisive force.
I rather we violate the UN "rules" , blood must be spilled if anyone foreign invader harbours the intention to come over with evil intentions[/b] -

Its a rough world out there,its not fair and its not a level playing field.Of course,that doesn't mean we can't twist the rules,break them or create new rules to play by that suit ourselves so that we win,change perspectives,tactics and strategy,etc.
The world isn't fair,but that doesn't mean we can't win.If we don't fight for our right to exist,then we don't even deserve to be around. -
But play by the rules wherever possible. War is a last resort and should remain so.Originally posted by Sardaukar:True true.I would rather violate the rules than wait to get hit first.
