      I was going to comment more, but you have a poor grasp of military tactics, geopolitics and economics.
      You can’t submerge a submarine in the Straits of Malacca - it’s an international shipping thoroughfare with a minimum depth of 82 feet. By international convention, submarines cannot transit the Straits submerged. It’s also in the sovereign territorial and contagious waters of Malaysia and Indonesia.

      Its all confidential information. So how would you know that? Among every other category of navy, you wont find any real specs on a submarine in technical pdf files probably because it 1. Doesnt exist, 2. Encrypted, boxed up in 70 foor of steel, sent 2km underground, locked in another vault with a 5meter thick door and 20 meter thick concrete perimeter all with only 1 way to access the information. So unless you are some formidable john wick or formidable hacker you arent getting no more than simple specs seen on wikipedia.❤😮

    Given the equipment is one thing, one need to also cater for personnel who operates it efficiently. Take the small little case in Little India riot in singapore, the personnel (police) can't even effectively contain the riot but instead running away with their guns. When it comes to war i dont have high hopes and majority of our army are just NSman working who think about medical leave everyday. I would gauge with assumption we have 100 subs, we only have 50 subs on the ball who know how to operate and fighter jet half as well. Just my assumption.

      Absolutely not. That’s why the strategy is to be swift and decisive. It’s in the SAF motto.

So while many will just give the reason “oh, SG can’t fight for long” no doubt, but the mission is to gain a swift short term victory

Who is dumb enough to start a war when the people are starving? The poor in Malaysia are poorer today than when Covid-19 was still active. More than half the population don’t even have more than RM10,000 in their EPF for retirement. Think about survival first before thinking about war.

Mahathir did it once, Singapore prepped its troops seeing that we are serious Mahathir surrendered and said its just a joke. Under contract those 2 are our sovereign if tap is turned off its akin to infringement due to contract. If malaysia do that the repercussion is trust. Btw without Singapore, Malaysia a few states will not have clean water. We sold it at a loss after treating it cleanly so your citizens can have clean water for cheap.

      That’s why Singapore makes it’s own water now and have not renewed any of its contracts to buy water from Malaysia. 2062 Singapore will officially not buy water from Malaysia anymore. In fact, we already don’t need water from Malaysia and are just running down the contract.
