Our first prime minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away last week. Mr Lee built our country and armed forces. He is also close friend of Taiwan. Our sincere thanks to the Taiwanese for allowing our Singaporean soldiers to train there.

Goh keng swee was only part of the reason when the saf was set up, he still need lee approval for day to day running of the govt. Civil liberties isn't related. You seem to be very critical of Lee. Economic prosperity and filling of one stomach is more important than press freedom.

He didn't ask for the missing man formation on his funeral. The rsaf accorded it to him on their own as a form of respect. I'll rather they get a decent remuneration than be corrupt and empty the state coffer. If not for him, you proberly be living in a slum or underneath a bridge. Just be grateful.

Saddam was a tramp in same league with the likes of colonel gaddafi or Assad in the Middle East and you compare Mr Lee with those tyrants. If you don't like it here, you are free to leave Singapore. Nobody is going to miss you. You are even allow to withdraw every cent in your cpf account when you renounce your citizenship. Mr Lee may not be perfect but he is the best Singapore had. Think about it, we have the highest standard of living in Asia, only behind japan. Saddam only take your family males in the dead of the night. You won't even get honey and dates in his country.

You called Singaporeans sinkies so I doubt you are that noble yourself. You are just trying to bring down the ruling party and the country for your own self interest. I think you got an ulterior motive. Don't blame the government for your own failure. Nobody owns you a living or anything. Look at the number of people queuing to pay their last respect to Mr Lee. People will still vote for the party. And the PAP will outlast you. I suggest you go and upgrade yourself. You can never win.
Wong Hohn Khew 我又没说新加披要当老大,我只是在说新加坡为什么当不了老大而已,你到底是认同新加披不做老大,还是不认同啊?你这反对的莫名其妙啊。 以色列能够在中东生存是因为它有足够的外援,新加披能够生存原因也差不多,但档次差了一个级别(核武器),不过也足够了,毕竟东南亚的环境终归没有中东那么复杂。

One thing for sure. Taiwan did provided land for Singapore army training in the past. But the agreement was amended/ cancelled due to Taiwan & China relationship, and not to further complicate the matter as 3rd party. That is why we heard lesser story of Taiwan training trip. As for who built up the Singapore Air Force. It is definitely not Taiwan but Israel. I dont know where the host came up with the story. Google "Israel of South East Asia" to find out more.

Israel helped Singapore trained the SAF in the beginning but Taiwanese developed the Air Defence System in areas such as logistics, Israel had probably in tactical area (so were Taiwanese too). Taiwan played a major role in grooming the RSAF, Some of their top notch pilots were flying here for many years too. They took over the control and Singapore watched and learned, they contributed enormously. Singapore owed a great deal to Taiwan. Be grateful, I forgive you if you did not know the right facts.

Taiwan allows Singapore to have their base there. I once had my armoured training in Taiwan. The convoy of a battalion is so long that it covers from Woodlands to Sentosa, so we have to do it in Taiwan. Taiwanese are very friendly and helpful people.

Growing up in the early 70s, I did remember that my mom had a Taiwanese friend whose husband was a Taiwanese Air Force Pilot based in SG and there were numerous Taiwanese trainers but the the RSAF was never never ever built by the Taiwanese. Neither was the Army nor the Navy. We have the Israelis to thank for all that. I don't lnow where this Taiwanese show and hosts get their information from.

Come On! Singapore's military does not disclose their abilities nor saying how good they are to the public. Every men have to serve the military for the sake of defending the country , as u could see from the map that Singapore is surrounded by Indonesia and Malaysia, Singapore is small ,without natural resources and gov needs to be wise in every move they made. that is what made Today Singapore! There's nothing to compare to a small island. If wanna do comparison , I suggest compare it 1:1 which equivalent to the size of the country. Singapore with only nearly to 600m compare to 1.3b ,what is there to compare with? This Episode was aired by Taiwan's media. They said Good and Bad stuffs without doing a proper research. I believe they have a few episodes bout China's military & stuffs. Just don't take it seriously. Everyone is proud of their country, likewise, I am a Singaporean, served in the infantry during my NS. be it singapore will be gone in 7 hours or not , when time comes, I know I have to load the gun and fight till death for the sake of my country. Let's not pick a fight here ! the video was from an oversea media anyway.

up2wind81 Haha. What military experience do you have? Combat unit? If so please get down your high horse and throw away the pride your SGTs, CPTs and LTCs brainwashed you into believing. Are you an expert in military analysis? How many military classics have you read before? Do you even know what is the most important aspect of an army? Do you even know the basics of warfare? I may not be an expert but i definitely have more experience and knowledge in those areas which I have mentioned. Also, Indonesia have the 2nd/3rd best military in ASEAN, and Singapore isn't in the top 3. Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia. And of course China isn't the same as before, it's stronger now and in fact leading in several areas which the US military have no equal or defense to. Good examples are the DF31 & 41 missiles anti-satellite and anti-aircraft carrier variants, China's air defense, radar and submarine stealth are the best in the world as well as developing twp 5th gen jets in half the time of the US F35 project. Also, need i remind you that during the Korean war, China alone push the UN forces back to Pusan, almost taking over the whole of s.Korea and pushed them back back to the 38th after the UN offensive. The US was losing so badly that they wanted to nuke China. An important thing to note is the Korean war was only 2 years after the Chinese civil war unofficially ended, meaning China is still in shambles both economically and militarily, in fact China was in shambles ever since 1937 but yet held against the Japanese ALONE, as well as fought against the UN in Korea and Vietnam. That is what you call impressive, a technologically inferior army winning against state of the art military technologies, China had a lousy logistic supply, almost no air support or armour regiments but yet was superior against the US. Claiming citing WW2 is useless is the most obvious sign of your lack of knowledge in warfare, so please, before embarrassing yourself more, shut the fuck up. In fact, the US, Russian and Chinese doctrines are still centered around WW2 experience as it's core because this was the only time the various nations have gone through actual total war with relatively modern combat. And sadly for you, WW2 have way more stuff to learn from than you think there is, hell, even wars from 3000 years ago have lessons to be learnt. Here's a quote for you: "Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: "Do not march on Moscow". Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: "Do not go fighting with your land armies in China". It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives." - Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, victor of El Alamein, Egypt, World War 2.
Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia because the then PM Tuanku Abdulrahman was fearful of the inevitable fact that his seat would be taken over by Lee Kuan Yew. I suspect that Brunei had pulled out on the eleventh hour from joining was advised by LKY because it was not fair for an imminent "king" of a state to reduce himself to a sub-ruler of a state. This can be seen from the fact that Brunei trusted Singapore so much and the friendship lasted steadfastly until today passing down father to son.

Dear KZbin Friends, do not reply or debate with Tyranthose Baltlz in order not to waste your time and mental energy. He is a lonely, friendless geek spending all his free time before the computer leaving some controvesial comment to stir up a conversation with strangers because he is too lonely. His real identity : A Chinese Malaysia who did very well in his high school exams but was denied a place in the local universities because of Malaysia bumiputra protection policy in which 70% of the places are reserved for the Malays. He loved his own motherland Malaysia which has fed him and educated him, but as a Chinese, it is even difficult to get a junior post in the civil service. He looked south to Singapore and saw that this prosperous, wealthy, safe country has a incorrupt government who cares for its people, government officers are efficient and incorrupt, the police do not abuse their power, high wages, lot of opportunities & Chinese being the majority, so he wished to become a Singaporean. He did not want to be a Malaysian anymore nor does he want to be loyal to Malaysia. He does not want sing Negara Cuckoo but Majulah Singapura! To his disappointment, after working many years in Singapore, he has been denied permanent residence, not to mention citizenship. He also has this feeling that Singaporeans look down on Malaysians. From admiration to envy, then escalate into anger and hate. Since then, he deliberately searches for videos about Singapore to go there to criticize and condemn. He fabricated a fake identity telling others he is a 3rd generation Singaporean who had served 7 years in the RSAF. All this is his fantasy. I believe you can find him with another name appearing in a video about Singapore finance and proclaims that he has degree in Economic and had spent 7 years in the finance sector. You may also find him in video about Singapore food and see him condemning Singapore food as junk, and professes to be in the food industry and holds a degree in catering service.

Singapore's first airforce chief is Taiwanese ? Taiwan helped Singapore to set up our armed forces ? This is so silly,get your facts right Taiwan ! We bought so much aircraft from USA and we need you to train our airforce ? USA and other more advanced countries helped trained our air force and armed forces. Taiwan is Singapore's friend. But your media has not been kind to us. But doesn't matter. Go ahead and mislead your own Taiwanese viewers. We have lots to do to build our own country, so say whatever you like to feed your own ego.
+Francis Leong yea me doubt it also. British were the ones that helped built our air force in the early days of our independence. Nevertheless Taiwan lent us lots of political support at that time so we still need to thank them.
Any china mountain tortoise !!! Now you know why people look down on china people - because they open their mouth and say non-sense !!! Keep bullshit about how great china is !!! Totally show a lack of culture, knowledge, totally lack of class !!!
