what he is saying, in Singaporean, is that all countries around Singapore are highly dangerous and that Singapore should buy more F-16s and conscript more young people into the army.
Because of the foreign countries, not in case of a uprising at home, mind you.
- brisance 13y agoThat's not what I meant. The state is run like a corporation. Singapore does not have a FEMA because it has never had to deal with natural disasters or an ecological crisis of this magnitude. Thus the government and its people are ill-prepared for what lies ahead: 1. Serious long-term health effects 2. Political and diplomatic tensions because this slash-burn cycle will repeat in perpetuity 3. Economic impact from declining revenues in industries like tourism, food & beverage, construction etc. The government has yet to articulate a plan that involves displacement of its population should the situation persist (almost a given) and take a turn for the worse (possible). I'm not going to rely on it or any other higher power when it comes to the health and safety of my family.
