From the trailer I get the idea it is a masked terrorist group with light infantry on a one way trip with access to jet fighters which look like JF-17 Thunder. (I will never watch this gruel except on youtube.)<br /><br />I am convinced that JN intended the script hypothesized in your past article, until the actual article appeared, after which he changed the terrorist attack to appearing in a recruit's dream so that it would not show the terrorists as actually getting a foothold on Singapore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-73467150387996179942014-02-25T13:02:45.414+08:002014-02-25T13:02:45.414+08:00...and don't smoke on board Indonesian Naval v......and don't smoke on board Indonesian Naval vessel, nanti bakar.<br /><br />Gudang Garam is very the powerful one.PakChiewChengnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-10755564061700021682014-02-25T12:59:55.194+08:002014-02-25T12:59:55.194+08:00Is why smoke in Jakarta lagi best, just make sure ...Is why smoke in Jakarta lagi best, just make sure second hand smoke don't come to Singapore.;)Pak Chiew Chengnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-83311001034383408392014-02-24T19:17:59.387+08:002014-02-24T19:17:59.387+08:00Indonesia's budget deficit is still acceptable...Indonesia's budget deficit is still acceptable, at about 2.5 percent GDP in 2013 and is expected to be lower in 2014, at around 1.7 percent due the increase of 2014 state budget, which $10 billion higher than in 2013.<br /><br />But if we look closer, 15 percent of annual state budget is spent to repay debts and that's more and less equal to the amount of deficit. <br /><br />I don't see this situation as a reason to reduce defense budget that's is already ridiculously low at 0.8 percent GDP. Again we should note that even during the height of economic crisis in 1999, Indonesia's defense budget was 1.34 percent; so why we can't survive with 0.8 percent today?NKRInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-17492232339026344242014-02-24T18:39:30.848+08:002014-02-24T18:39:30.848+08:00How to smoke and find one corner bang.

Singapores government then borrows the money to help build up the nation. In return, Singapores government will pay interest to Singaporeans. Singaporeans can use the money to buy homes, healthcare, retirement, etc. A win-win situation. Malaysia learned from Singapore and set up the EPF. Tell me. How are the millions of Indonesian going to pay for healthcare when they become old? Wikipedia has lots of errors and inaccuracies friend. Singapore has been spending about $10 billion this year and last year in usd dollar terms.

Singapore might go into a slight deficit this year but this is due to the one off pioneer package the government is dishing out to seniors. By and by, Singapore government generates surpluses. Hence, the slight deficit this year is more then covered by the yesteryears surpluses. You really need to use IMF standard of accounting to see the surpluses Singapores government is making - tens of billions. The one presented in the budget is Singapores own varient of calculation of budget surplus. No, we do not mean ill of Indonesia. We will not hesitate to help Indonesia as evidenced by Operation Flying Eagle during the asian tsunami. We were also prepared to loan Indonesia billions of dollars during the financial crisis subject to Indonesia abiding IMF regulations. We want a fair and level playing field. One of respect and acknowledgment of each country's needs and sensitivities. If indonesia intents to step on her neighbours, a dirty mud fight occurs. You dont like it. We dont like it. I know some countries might cower away but not Singapore. I note your desire for peace as war between the countries will probably destroy both. Indonesia will break up due to the massive destruction Singapore can dish out and Singapore will cease to exist as an independant country or a successful country due to huge financial loses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-12550992822332504842014-02-24T14:24:49.501+08:002014-02-24T14:24:49.501+08:00/// Desired Outcomes

You cannot continue like this in the long run. If you earn $ 10 per day, you cannpt spend $12. You can borrow but you cannot do that forever. You need to trim your budget or reduce it. So, your predictions are not believable to me at this juncture. On the .8% of gdp, can indonesia raise it much further without affecting developement and budget deficit? You dont want to come back to IMF. On Sg's F16s, you are right that they are advanced late blk 52 models. But we are upgradinh them further with Aesas and other upgrades.

It already hits the rock bottom minimum! <br /><br />But still a huge improvement over the 2004 budget, at $2 billion, which was also at 0.8 percent GDP.<br />That's why the extra cash is spent for modernization.<br /><br />We know that our refurbished F-16 block 32 is less capable than RSAF's F-16 block 52; but it is only slated for "stopgap measures". 24 units for only $750 million. To be used until 2020's before being replaced by KFX.<br /><br />F-5 Tiger will be replaced soon in 2nd MEF phase, 16 units of Su-35 is the preferred choice.NKRInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-57058158888187311792014-02-24T09:12:16.973+08:002014-02-24T09:12:16.973+08:00@NKRi, you are confused.

I'm expecting that :)<br /><br /> <br />With an average military budget of $6 billion in 1st phase (2009-2014), what purchase "stopgap" equipments. As an example, all refurbished F-16 will have BVR capability and they are slated for retirement when KFX stealth fighters are operational in 2020's. Other stopgap equipments are Nakhoda Ragam frigates and Leopard 2 tanks. <br />What we achieve in 1st phase is quite satisfactory, considering the relatively small budget.<br /><br />In 2nd phase (2015-2019), we will start to get more fresh, new weapons. Like PKR frigates (already being built in Surabaya), submarines and Su-35. More announcements on new procurements will be released after the election. <br />Things will get much better, because we will have bigger defense budget due to rapid increase of state budget.
