If any Chinese here thinks China is kaki lang, then u are mistaken.

If anyone here thinks China strengthen their position in SCS for the safety of everyone, then u are mistaken.

If anyone here thinks China is an angel since she seldom invade another country then u guys ought to have ur head check.

Agree with you Bro Nightcrawllerr. Yes, I don't want to demonise China but gotta watch out for our back ! China has problems is true, but when problems arise, external threats are brought up to unify and distract the people- which Cheena always like to do.

Yes, Cheena govt give tight slap to White Monkeys. But rest assured, that's not all. This is just the first shot over the bow for Cheena. Many possibilities that Cheena will take actions to squeeze us. I already raise one instance already:- less visas granted by China to allow their tour group from visiting us. Affected many of my friends' business in tourism area.

Ya. Garbagement needs tons of these vehicles. How can 100 vehicles be enough to roll thru hundreds of thousands or 1 million protesting sporeans. Using tanks to fire on sporeans just look bad on TV la

Please la. China got hands full dealing with their internal affairs.

External affairs they're fucking bz too.
After USA, cb Japan, Taiwan, north Korea, they invested billions in Africa n South America. These are bigger issues to them than small fry spore la

You honestly think they draw up plans to invade spore? Spore is their priority or top 5 targets to fuck is it?? Haha not even top ten la. U think they'll send their only air craft carrier all the way to spore waters n fly their jets in spore air space??? Won't la

And invade south East Asia ? Haha
And u think China really that free to think of spores education standards meh

And cutting tourist visas is nothing to China la. Why should spore benefit from China. Spore Is a Shitty toilet. Even sporeans don't want to stay in spore during holidays. So why should prcs. I think prcs end up going Japan even more OK

There're many many ways to fuck with spore slowly la. Like shoving brinjal up garbagement anus. By the time they know toooo late le

The ins and outs of the commercial shipping of military equipment


By Koh Soo Keong

Published: 4:00 AM, January 17, 2017

Updated: 7:29 AM, January 17, 2017



The detention of nine SAF Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles (ICVs) and other equipment by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department in November has been in the news, and may have led to misperceptions concerning the shipping process for military equipment. As ex-president of Sembcorp Logistics, I would like to share some insights into the complexity behind the shipping of military equipment.

Commercial shipping has been a common means of transporting goods for many decades. It is not difficult to understand why it is also one of the most preferred means to ship military equipment for most militaries around the world, whenever the situation permits.

I believe not many militaries own a navy with the capabilities to transport large quantities of military equipment over long distances at an affordable cost. Most militaries, including those of the United States and Australia, would have to rely on the reach and capacity of commercial shipping to transport their military equipment economically.

The shipping of military equipment can be broadly divided into two categories — sensitive items and non-sensitive items. Sensitive items include advanced weapons and ammunition.

Depending on the sensitivity of the equipment, some militaries may choose to place special requirements on the shipping company. These include the crew’s nationalities, country of registration of the carriers, specific routes to take, chartering the whole ship, and even the leasing of a commercial ship for the government’s use.

These would naturally drive up shipping costs significantly. The resulting charges could be many times higher compared with the regular means of buying cargo space on regular shipping lines. For this reason, these special requirements are reserved for highly sensitive equipment. As such, it makes economic sense to make use of regular shipping routes as much as possible.

Singapore, New Zealand hold inaugural defence ministers' meeting


Posted 16 Jan 2017 19:53

SINGAPORE: Defence ministers from Singapore and New Zealand on Monday (Jan 16) reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen bilateral defence ties at the first Singapore-New Zealand defence ministers’ meeting in New Zealand.

Dr Ng Eng Hen and Mr Gerry Brownlee discussed ideas on strengthening bilateral defence cooperation, including further training opportunities in New Zealand, according to a joint statement. This includes the establishment of annual air force staff talks, an education and training working group, as well as an operational working group, which could be used to discuss new cooperation initiatives.

They also exchanged views on a range of regional security issues, such as the impact of leadership changes in the US, as well as regional security architecture.


"Whether it is the new US President, Brexit, rising powers like China and India in this part of the world, the status quo has been changed," said Dr Ng. "When the status quo has been changed, it can be very unsettling. So we have to guide this region and even globally to a period where we can continue to have peace and stability in our region."

Dr Ng described the sit-down as a "meeting of minds".

"We felt that, in this period of uncertainty, we should really strengthen relations with those who are like-minded, share the same platforms that we have, like the Five Power Defence Arrangement and the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus," Dr Ng said.

Both ministers agreed to conduct the ministerial meeting annually for discussions on issues of mutual concern.

The meeting followed a visit to Waiouru Training Area where Exercise Thunder Warrior is taking place. The exercise - now marking its 20th anniversary - involves about 500 personnel from the Singapore Artillery. The training area in Waiouru is more than twice the size of the entire Singapore.

The Honourable Defense Minister of Singapore run road to New Zealand instead of solving the Terrex issue .

[FreebiezWanker]

Actually this whole incident can show how solid our ministers are. Words like " Full Force Of The Law" are so impressive n scary when dealing with a local Singaporean, but when dealing with a bully, its tails are between its legs.

This is an excellent opportunity to gauge the calibre of our Ministers and the remuneration they receive. So what if the Singapore passport is the 2nd most powerful in the world. Honestly, I will re-access what Singapore is now n sometimes its better to shut up n be more humble.

Everyone can see the rise of a new power . The awakening of a sleeping dragon . It would be foolish not to take advantage of this situation . But then what did the Men in White do ? they go and make this new power angry . So if the white monkeys can't even protect Singapore military hardware do you think they can protect the Singaporeans and the Singapore way of life . Like I said before the whole of Singapore foreign policy is WRONG . Imagine if today they can detain the Terrex , Next they may even detain our navy frigates in the South China Sea .
