One side may win nominally but in the long run, it would be a disaster. Look at the Vietnam War, the US won all the battles but lost the War.<br /><br />Besides, other then giving a chance for saber rattling for the politicians of both sides, I think that there are more real security concerns for both countries. Look at the Sabah invasion. Malaysia is facing a home grown threat in that Malaysian trained MNLF fighters are now supporting the Kiran fighters and prepared to take the war to Sabah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-16631291317467618252013-03-05T20:05:37.444+08:002013-03-05T20:05:37.444+08:00It is not wishful thinking.

Anon 0822 - Malay...Typical Singaporean prejudice. <br /><br />Anon 0822 - Malaysia only allocate a small sum of its budget to defence and half of the allocation is usually for operational expenses. Our troops are regularly deployed in the field near the border regions. We don't have the luxury of fielding new technology and even if we do, it won't be in large numbers. While to you, Malaysia appears to be copying, the reality is we are behind the curve but at the same time the government and top brass realize we cannot be too far behind.<br /><br />In any case the development of Malaysia's military is always based on practical requirements - eg. Formation of the rapid response unit form of the para brigade (primarily for rapid deployment to east Malaysia), formation of border regiment to free up regular units from guard duty at the Thai border. Only now we are creating units to develop urban combat and cyberwarfare doctrines. Again it is a response to real requirements.<br /><br />Anon 1614- Well our armed forces do get tested from time to time in unplanned incidents. Looking at their performance during ops fajar, ops astute, ops pasir and ops pyramid, it wasn't too shabby and they did make thee most of their existing gear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-21186344358627373352013-03-03T16:14:05.362+08:002013-03-03T16:14:05.362+08:00Parade is one thing.
