Singapore have few millions stocks of mines?
-
wa. shiok
-
not for singapore use
-
Not suprise at all... If anyone want to come down from our north, just bury and encircle the northern part with mines. and artillery will be just behind to blow anything trying to force their way through the minefield.
-
Who do you think can robot bury so many mines ????
they probably scatter mines from the air at strategic locations. -
I believe Singapore has not signed a treaty that banned the use of land mines in conflicts.
Does it mention anything about naval mines? -
Singapore have not signed the treaty... but malaysia and indonesia have. haha
-
Mines are very effective for blocking and delaying ... because we have no strategic depth at all, it'll be suicidal for us to give up mines ....
in anycase many of our mines aren't the el cheapo anti personnel mines of the old days ...
some are very high tech .... scatter through a variety of ways .... can remotely disable them or set a timer .... so no issues there .... but let's stop there before the OSA drops down on us eh ... -
in a real war, no one cares whether is there any treaty or not...Originally posted by Ponders:Singapore have not signed the treaty... but malaysia and indonesia have. haha
-
We are one of the biggesr exporter of land mines in the world.
-
Good what, got so many mines. Scatter them all over Malaysia, that will be fun. best if the mines can differentiate malaysian malays and malaysian chinese.
-
hey dude be careful. Your words are a little racist to me... later the police might be knocking on your door...Originally posted by zquek:Good what, got so many mines. Scatter them all over Malaysia, that will be fun. best if the mines can differentiate malaysian malays and malaysian chinese. -
But the idea is not bad. Can differentiate people. Maybe I can use that as a project for my final year...Originally posted by zquek:Good what, got so many mines. Scatter them all over Malaysia, that will be fun. best if the mines can differentiate malaysian malays and malaysian chinese. -
weapons are blind.
-
sg will not scatter them over the cities.
no point hurting civilians. -
Mine warfare is very fun...not only can block people from running towards u, u can even block people running AWAY from u...sometimes can even control people where to run and how fast to run...

the Republic has observed a self-imposed ban on selling landmines without self-destruct mechanisms since May 1996........
STimes 18.11.2005 by David BoeyIt is unclear just how many landmines Singapore has in its stockpiles. The
Defence Ministry declined to reveal specific details of the Singapore Armed
Forces' assets for operational security reasons. But it said that the estimate
of 'several million landmines', cited at a seminar in Kuala Lumpur last week by
Ms Sumita Dixit, a Canadian foreign ministry official accompanying the general,
was 'highly exaggerated'.
Though Singapore has yet to sign the Ottawa Convention, a Foreign Affairs
Ministry spokesman said the Republic has observed a self-imposed ban on selling landmines without self-destruct mechanisms since May 1996. In 1998, over a year before the convention came into effect, it extended this ban to include all types of Singapore-made anti-personnel landmines.
Weapons company Singapore Technologies Kinetics said it does not produce
landmines for export or 'act as a sub-contractor to anyone that does', and has
not sold mines in the last 15 years.
Landmines cost several dollars apiece to make, but Gen Baril said the cost
of demining - the detection and extraction of landmines - can cost US$1,000
(S$1,700) a mine. These devices can remain active decades after being planted and are dangerous even after conflicts end. -
Is good thing that we have mines, that way nobody can walk in so easily, but I doubt we have "a few millions", thousands maybe yes, USA has abt 11 million in their stocks.
Actually we are not the only country in the asean region or the world that have mines or produce mines, many other countries have mines and have bigger manufacturing capability for lanmine production than singapore like Austria, CZECH republic and even China, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and many many other countries.
You must remember each country is responsible for their defending their own territory. And normally defence industry is a home grown industry. The technology that you want to have others may not want to give even if you are willing to pay for it. And if they do sell normally is an older technology which they have already developed a countermeasure for it.
So what if the rest of the world are singnatories to the mine ban treaty
will they rescue us when we in trouble? No sonny we can only rescue ourselves so the rest of the world can go and f.uck themselves, we are not going to sign the treaty and thats it. 
-
obviously we have that much in stock. the govt is right to ignore those who are complaining. we have our own interest to look after.
-
Just pray for world peace , i do not want to see malaysia becoming the next cambodia
