you thought so easy to drive tanks in our narrow roads meh...Originally posted by leo-kun:what if CDF did something similiar to Roya Thai Army now....
and remember that tanks cannot go up expressway leh...else it may collapse....
so all tanks will have to go by the main roads without the use of expressway...
then you have so many cars, vehicles etc in sg, how to move your tank ah... Even in national day....they have to block off the roads before the tanks can move in....if never block vehicles off, you think got enough space for tank?
also they will need to put padding on the tanks tracks before rolling off to the roads, else all the roads all spoil, the when coup finish, all the roads all spoil liao... -

S'pore must preserve its system of govt: MM
By Peh Shing Huei

MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew hopes the Singapore of 2046 will still have the system it has today - one that works.
'My ambition, having created this Singapore, is to preserve the system that produces the answers we must have as a society to survive,' he said yesterday.
He was replying to Harvard University professor Lawrence Summers, who asked what Mr Lee hoped Singapore would be 40 years from now.
'My hope is that there will be a government that is equal to the job, as the PAP was,' said Mr Lee, referring to the ruling People's Action Party he co-founded in 1954.
'We have structured the system such that a competent group which gets in will find a machine that works. Don't tinker with it. Run the system properly on the basis of merit, not nepotism, and you will always find a way out of the problem.'
'My ambition is not to preserve the PAP,' he added.
Mr Lee, who celebrates his 83rd birthday today, was speaking at the Raffles Forum organised by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in conjunction with the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings here.
The forum organisers arranged for a chocolate cake dessert for Mr Lee at the end of his lunchtime session, entitled Good Governance And The Wealth Of Nations, with Prof Summers and 250 business and political leaders.
Mr Lee outlined how politics and the system of government developed here.
Democracy for Singapore meant adjustments to meet the country's needs. The country was now a First World oasis and would continue to evolve to stay relevant. It required special kinds of people to be in charge here, he said, adding that a weak government would spell Singapore's end.
Mr Lee mused that the problem with Singapore was that it had 'now reached a very odd stage' - an electorate which wants the PAP in power, but also an opposition to 'squeeze' the Government.
'Well, that's all right. But if they become the government, that's real trouble,' he added. 'Our problem really is how to make the electorate sufficiently wise and sophisticated to understand that these are the limits.'
Beyond the limits, he painted two dark paths: One , which would happen in the absence of the Elected Presidency (EP) to protect the reserves from rogue regimes, is a military coup.
'Without the Elected President, if there's a freak result, within two to three years the army would have to come in and stop it,' he warned. 'And once you break that, by military intervention, you have destroyed a system which works on the basis of who was voted into office.'
Two, even with the EP, a corrupt government can still bankrupt the country:
'Even with an Elected President, if they (the opposition) win a second time, the reserves are open, because they can then arrange for their president to be elected and the country comes to a grinding halt,' he said.
He believes the present opposition parties, if they became the government, would cause Singapore to collapse.
'You've seen the candidates who have turned up. If they win, this place goes down. And nobody doubts it,' he said.
He added: 'The day we can produce an opposition of the same quality as us, that day we are in a safer condition.'
The problem, he said, is that the opposition, unlike the PAP, has been unable to 'induce' people of top quality to join it.
The PAP Government has also been able to stay relevant and keep abreast of changes.
'At the end of the day, we offer what every citizen wants - a good life, security, good health, good housing, good education and a future for their children. That's good governance.'
The dialogue was part of the activities leading up to the IMF-World Bank board of governors meetings next week.
At a press conference yesterday, World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz called on rich countries to make good on promises to increase aid to poor nations. Separately, IMF chief Rodrigo de Rato said the meetings would implement reforms crucial to the Fund's credibility and help strengthen political support for removing protectionism. [email protected]

Depends on the new government. If they perform reasonably as the PAP. I will fark the coup.
If they are not capable. let the coup be a success.
