If I am not wrong it was the Russian weather that significantly changed the outcome of the war, and considering Moscow does drop to - 20 to -30 in winter its not surprising. Comparing the Russian strategy to India its not practical and not forgetting weapons have come a long way since WWII...
Not to sidetrack the topic, but firstly what has this do with Singaporeans? And btw most Chinese Singaporeans can converse with their China counterparts in Chinese. Carry on
C'mon boys I know an Indian chap and Sri Lanken Chap who are great drinking buddies, maybe you boys need to meet on some neutral ground.
Hoping misfortune on an entire population is not cool :tdown:
Can't say I agree with that part, its true that the China does not have critical technologies which are sold to India in full but China has been massing the production know how since the 80's. For example to leapfrog the race in Rare Earth Technology China bought a US company in in the 80's or...
Do you still stand by this statement or what? I mean after learning how the Western nations do not offer but actually supply weapons before the protest started?
He will never make it, considering France and most of EU & the US are on his Sh*tlist and the precious oil export the western power will never allow it. And they have the power to deal with it.

The building looks great but to compare with the Taj Mahal is an insult no offence. Especially when the morning sun hits the Taj Mahal its really some sight to see.
Yep I sneaked a peak at their passport cover, we had it all open since we were lining up in the arrivals hall
Malays are typically assigned to police force, the rational was in times of war (scenario was with Malaysia or Indonesia) the higher authority did not like the idea of the Malay...
I doubt very much he is anti Muslim but he did have a lot of rough patches with the Muslim leaders in Malaysia namely Mahathir. He was against communism in Singapore that part is pretty much assured.

Its evident in everywhere you go, Its the same why Saudi's don't collect garbage, or the early European settlers vs the native population (Early Americans saw Red Indians as barbarians). Even in India I witness first hand how Africans were treated when we had to apply for the local work permits...
It will unlikely to be anytime soon that we will have any Indian PM mainly because the people in power within the party are predominately Chinese. But even if an Indian PM was elected so long as he represents the interest of Singapore it will not make much of a differences, bearing in mind...
Haha that's a loaded question pending on who you ask, but IMO I do look up to what he has done previously in turning Singapore to what it is today, looking how Singapore started it seemed impossible to achieve anything near to what we have today. But I believe his should let go and let the...
