Singapore Arm Forces are widely love, despised and hated by the people. We need a defence force but meanwhile, we abhor our astronomical defence budget. We envy and loath the scandalous remuneration of the arm forces personnel. Given a choice, we would prefer a leaner defence spending, and allocate more resources to healthcare and providing comfortable retirement for the senior citizens.

Surrounded by Malaysia which is increasingly radicalized and Indonesia, a secular but sometimes volatile country, Singapore have no choice but to build up our defence capability. Nevertheless, most people would still want to trim our defence spending.

There is an under-representation of Malay Muslims especially in the elite units. Singaporean citizen have been trying very hard to integrate Malay into the military even though we are always being threatened by Malaysia. The situation improves tremendously over the years. The Indians are well represented and even over represented especially in the NCO corps.

Singapore strives to be a non-racist country where everyone can worship freely without being harass.

1G RSAF Bloodhound SAMs unmatched range and supersonic speed
While we may be justifiably proud of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), the pioneer Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) still holds a commanding lead in air defence capability that today's 3G RSAF has not matched.

Scorpion's sting:Futuristic looking even in the 1970s and 1980s when they guarded Singapore skies, Bloodhound Mark2 SAMs, possibly deployed at Missile Site "Bravo", stand fully fuelled, armed and ready for launch. In terms of specifications, 170 SADA's Bloodhounds were the largest, fastest and longest ranged SAM ever operated by the RSAF.

The 1G air force's Bloodhound Mark 2 surface to air missiles (SAMs), which Singapore inherited from Britain's Royal Air Force, were and still are the SAM with the longest range and fastest speed ever deployed on this island. Clocked at more than twice the speed of sound during firing trials, Bloodhounds posed a credible threat to large bombers and massed aircraft formations.

Iron sharpens iron. That’s why we conduct exercises with other militaries. At the recent Exercise Valiant Mark, soldiers from The Singapore Army's 7th Singapore Infantry Brigade charged up the beach with Marines from the U.S. Marine Corps 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment. It’s also a great way to build personal and military-to-military ties.
