I am just asking for the sake of learning more ! and thanks for your answers lcloo !!!

From an Israeli point of view they are surrounded by their Arab enemies and a doctrine as such is vital for their very existence i.e it simply depends on this. since the region already witnessed enough wars and bloodshed and even worst all the disputed issues are still there! for the countries in the region it is safe to say they have legitimate concerns for preparedness! unfortunately its like a self fulfilling prophecy! sure it is wise for Singapore to get prepared for anything I just hope they are also not preparing a self fulfilling prophecy for themselves!

There is a big difference between Singapore and Israel, in that Singapore is now at good terms with all her neighbors. However they have to be caution for (1) their tiny land size, and (2) they are located on an extremely strategic location that control shipping routes through Malacca Straits.

I am sure they will not pre-emptive attack any of their neighbors.

1. Singapore is quietly paranoid about Indonesia and Malaysia who are both Muslims. It assures Singapore when Malaysia and Indonesia have differences on pin-pricks. Singapore's defense is targeted to any adventure by any of its large neighbors.

2. Singapore has been developed by WCC/Zionists as the center for their financial operations in this region. Therefore Singapore is defended as a fortress. The Americans have a major base in the Woodlands vacated by UK.

3. Singapore Intel and Def Forces have close ties with those of Israel - closer than any other in this area. So much so that SDF troops (less Muslim Malays) are known to have been sent to Israel for battle inoculation. In fact some were identified in Lebanon when Israel was occupying part of that nation.

There are a very few malays(who are mostly muslims)) in the Singapore Air force. However, there are many indian or other muslims. Singapore, main concern is the ethnic malays as they think they will desert them for malaysia or indonesia in terms of war.

I beg to differ in the second part, singapore is heavily protected by china. Furthermore, zionists didnt develop singapore, it was just one jewish guy who helped singapore formulate its economic policies. The base is in sembawang not woodlands.

SDF have a healthy number of muslim malays. Its the air force which does not have a fair representation of malays

Thats an impressive list they have got their...but who are they considering as their threat!!
ALIENS??

They can cause internal disturbances, like the konfrontasi, but they wouldnt dare to attack singapore outright

Konfrontasi is a period of time that indonesia had a confrontation with malaysia(singapore was a part of malaysia then). They fought undeclared wars and carried out terrorist attacks.

Kiasu is the singlish word for busybody/ wanna be first attitude
