????eh???they arent soldiers.....they are paperboys on an errand. not goin to tell u what real soldiers would do.......but if they ran away from u then maybe its time for u to visit some beautician or something......maybe u frightened all of them off...especially the sgt....hmmm...pontianak look alike???normally army guys dun run away unless they meet a pontianak!!!
It is abit obvious right?
In economic defence and psychological defence - pass or fail?
..............needs free hamburgers only for total defence!!!!im not askin much.....just a couple of hamburgers only...make sure its big meat init n not some paper thin meat !!But i dun think they would gimme that cuz ministers and
prime heads of government tell us:

And so? Industrial computer programing in using machine codes?
Please compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges.
Singapore is stuck in massive techno-economical jam as it doesn't got guts to implement new tech and the people expects spoon-feeding in learning new tech. So everyone can understand that it is both the fault of the government and the people of Singapore not advancing.
zog,
they stopped using machine codes with the introduction of software.
compare what????theres nuthin here to compare.
singapore isnt stuck in techno jams it never was stuck...........its complacent as like most of the people in spore.unfortunately u would be lucky in spore who even knows how to even program stuff in any code even.as all humans are.....i know machinery programmin both maschine code and in software.
its the kind of people each country was made out of.....unfortunately singaporeans are not americans or are one of thosae who dedicates the entire life and every moment in pursuit of robotics////those who live and breathe of the future and what it brings to mankind.....in so doing of that pursuit one uprooted his past ,parents,present and future to another land with better chance of accomplishing his goal.
question is:
1)what are u defending?
2)is it economically viable?
3)do they have the correct code of ethics?
4)what is it in for you?
5)what are you really seriously doing right now or 30 mins later?is there any future to yiour original aim!have u deviated from your goal from birth?
6)would your personal projects thats going to be yer only life support be destroyed by government policies by wastinhg whatever time u have on remedial training for atheletes in the army by force?
7)what are the gains 10 years from now......is that goal happening in 1 year?how much is the goal achieb=vable in 3 years and would that goal reach by end of year 2020?
8)are u making progress everyday on subject thats concerned?

Amazing that one can begin with a sweeping statement that claims - "Singapore is stuck in massive techno-economical jam" - and that the causes are (1) - "it doen't got guts to implement new tech"; and (2) - "the people expects spoon-feeding in learning new tech".
Firstly, who is in charge of Singapore to have caused this "massive techno-economical jam" ?
Secondly, does it takes any "guts to implement new tech" - or does it take entrepreneurial vision and business acumen to chart new directions ?
Thirdly, how did the stupendous conclusion come about that it is "the people expects spoon-feeding in learning new tech" ?
Was it not due to the lack of "guts to implement new tech" to cause the "massive techno-economical jam" in the first place ?
Should the people make the first move to learn new tech - when there is no "guts to implement new tech" ?
After the economic downturn or crash of 1987, 1997, and again during 2002 through 2004 - a total of three Economic Review Committees were formed, and each of this Committee had made recommendations to reduce the huge amounts of contributions to the personal accounts in the CPF, so as to release the entrepreneurial energy to make Singapore less dependent on the big corporations, and have a second tier economic-industrial network that will provide employment for the majority.
Singapore's economy although seemingly a capitalist model - is no better then a modified form of 'command economy' with direct government policy interference in determining national economic directions - that see the government hand moving resources into directions that it sees as the future.
The government involvement get even deeper when it participate in direct competition in the market place of entrepreneurs, by using public money to set up Government-Linked Companies to compete with private entrepreneurs.
Can the government be successful entrepreneurs ?
Are Singaporeans unwilling to learn new tech ?
Or has it not been a fact that the PAP Government treat Singaporeans as human resource - to be manipulated and directed into directions that will meet with the vision and goals set up by the Government ?
How often has it been said by applicants to the various tertiary institutions that the course that they applied for had insufficient seats available, but there was an unusual large number in another faculty to produce "the manpower needed by industry" ?
If Singaporeans need spoon-feeding - does the commentator count itself to be a Singaporean - and similarly need to be spoon fed to see the situation that is so clearly obvious ?
..............................i think spore needs suicide bombers to protect it only from way they are planning peoples directions......thos fighter jets are meant probably for tyheir close relatives who might either look like a shortie or like siao ding dang wiv big head and fat body:)

Can you imagine the HDB flats will fall like playing cards should one missile drop in Sg. Lets pray for peace in this region and the whole world
Got leh. Thailand and Cambodia sparking conflicts with soldiers dying or injuried is one of the recent examples. In 1960s also got Confrontasi and our dear Mcdonald house kena bomb. For that, I believe that are fatalities, so how leh........... The only way to pray for peace is........ WAR!!! Let somebody go and conquor the whole world, then all countries are unified under a "Global Village / Global City" whatever, and turn all become atheist and communist will do.....
if macdonald haus hab no hamburger,,,they can cart the entire building back to indonesia for all i care!!!
will fight for hamburgers!!!no pickles!!yummmm
i dun see any fight in cambodia except a womans leg that got blown off by a grenade in 1997 and she was still hoping and holding her leg by a stall.chiobu office gal ...haizz.
perhaps if ST tried building super soldier battalion where soldiers are bullet proof......maybe spore will be much feared.
FEAR AND BRUTE FORCE IS WHAT MADE hamburgers.poor cows!

One of my Coffee shop uncle said, last time, SAF soldiers, being Israel trained, are more tough and strong, most are very rough, he feels that today one are very soft, chicken heart and maid's boys. With some overly educated turn ah gua attitude, he said that if there is another confrontasi, most, include their commanders will run back home to hide behind their maids.
He also said that we got a contingent of Gukhas soldiers here just to protect LKY and his family, together with his nephews and close aide to get out of singapore if confrontasi arrive, they dun even trust our own SAF...all weak legs, macDonald's kids, how to fight?? Hmm..better ask MV Kaoshan to standby here for taiwanese native like me here first.
.......hmmm.....yes....come to think of it now,,,,,,,world has very few real soldiers.even in israel the soldiers all wear spectacles....look nerdy...bugs bunny teeth......also look like ah gua too...only no maid.some israel soldiers also run around wiv long hair.
and us army paratrooper i worked with kept his plants and flowers and was worried they might die while he is in spore.
Coffeeshop uncle also told me last time, he was hanged on the lamp post for a day by Israel commander and treated like prisoner of War, if today SAF hang those gayboys on the lamp post, i think tomollo, all maids, mothers and grandmothers will be throwing blood on Dr Ng house.
All hands shaky, legs wobblings, helmet bigger than their head, how to fight??? enemy shoot one time only, i think all Pee on the pant liao..I really have no trust in our SAF, it is nothing by just a propanganda to shows that we got an army. See those young men going to lunch near my place taking umbrella like gal to shield the sun...i give up
angel7030,
why he make noise bout hanging around for a day????its luxury in spore army training!!!!so good life!!!hang around on lamppost and do nothing all day!!!!people would rather hang on a lampost for weeks or even months!!yer uncle had a peaceful life in army...or israel commander likes him..!its better than fitness training in army for weeks and mths!!
angel7030,
me thinks prime minister actually puts a skirt and blouse and wear high heels n lipsticks and look at himself and pose in front of mirrorr when no one is around at home.
He makes noise because after protecting Singapore for nearly 20 years of his life (inclusive of reservist), he ends up sitting here with no job offer, he ask for security, all taken up, he is in his late 50s, everytime called the agent or companies, when talk about his age only, all hang up already...one of these day he is going to hang on the lamppost outside istana and with a poster, I protected my Country, but my Country forget me.
