This is an excellent opportunity to gauge the calibre of our Ministers and the remuneration they receive. So what if the Singapore passport is the 2nd most powerful in the world. Honestly, I will re-access what Singapore is now n sometimes its better to shut up n be more humble.
Now the hen run to Kiwi . Not trying to solve the Terrex issue . Really made even Singapore more siasuay . What a joke. Remember this date Nov 23 2016 . See how long the Hong Kong Customs can detain the Terrex and how the Men In White can solve the problem .
Re: SAF armoured vehicles(Terrex) detained in Hong Kong port
Don't be alarmed when our SAF Terrex infantry fighting vehicles are returned to us in parts by the PRC if at all. Because the PRCs are the best in copying technology. And the PRC won't apologise to a small fry like Singapore.

The ins and outs of the commercial shipping of military equipment

The detention of nine SAF Terrex Infantry Carrier Vehicles (ICVs) and other equipment by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department in November has been in the news, and may have led to misperceptions concerning the shipping process for military equipment. As ex-president of Sembcorp Logistics, I would like to share some insights into the complexity behind the shipping of military equipment.
Commercial shipping has been a common means of transporting goods for many decades. It is not difficult to understand why it is also one of the most preferred means to ship military equipment for most militaries around the world, whenever the situation permits.
I believe not many militaries own a navy with the capabilities to transport large quantities of military equipment over long distances at an affordable cost. Most militaries, including those of the United States and Australia, would have to rely on the reach and capacity of commercial shipping to transport their military equipment economically.
The shipping of military equipment can be broadly divided into two categories — sensitive items and non-sensitive items. Sensitive items include advanced weapons and ammunition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the equipment, some militaries may choose to place special requirements on the shipping company. These include the crew’s nationalities, country of registration of the carriers, specific routes to take, chartering the whole ship, and even the leasing of a commercial ship for the government’s use.
These would naturally drive up shipping costs significantly. The resulting charges could be many times higher compared with the regular means of buying cargo space on regular shipping lines. For this reason, these special requirements are reserved for highly sensitive equipment. As such, it makes economic sense to make use of regular shipping routes as much as possible.
Singapore, New Zealand hold inaugural defence ministers' meeting
Posted 16 Jan 2017 19:53
SINGAPORE: Defence ministers from Singapore and New Zealand on Monday (Jan 16) reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen bilateral defence ties at the first Singapore-New Zealand defence ministers’ meeting in New Zealand.
Dr Ng Eng Hen and Mr Gerry Brownlee discussed ideas on strengthening bilateral defence cooperation, including further training opportunities in New Zealand, according to a joint statement. This includes the establishment of annual air force staff talks, an education and training working group, as well as an operational working group, which could be used to discuss new cooperation initiatives.
They also exchanged views on a range of regional security issues, such as the impact of leadership changes in the US, as well as regional security architecture.
"Whether it is the new US President, Brexit, rising powers like China and India in this part of the world, the status quo has been changed," said Dr Ng. "When the status quo has been changed, it can be very unsettling. So we have to guide this region and even globally to a period where we can continue to have peace and stability in our region."
Dr Ng described the sit-down as a "meeting of minds".
"We felt that, in this period of uncertainty, we should really strengthen relations with those who are like-minded, share the same platforms that we have, like the Five Power Defence Arrangement and the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus," Dr Ng said.
Both ministers agreed to conduct the ministerial meeting annually for discussions on issues of mutual concern.
The meeting followed a visit to Waiouru Training Area where Exercise Thunder Warrior is taking place. The exercise - now marking its 20th anniversary - involves about 500 personnel from the Singapore Artillery. The training area in Waiouru is more than twice the size of the entire Singapore.
The Honourable Defense Minister of Singapore run road to New Zealand instead of solving the Terrex issue .
Hahaha.
Cb hen actually said 'meeting of minds' n 'like-minded'
The new Zealand minister must be damn dulan. How can they be alike. He's normal. Hen is like the fucking retard.

As our navy had nothing and had to start from scratch.... he brought them over to Taiwan to train and subsequently the army boys followed and that began the tradition of SAF sending their troops to ROC to train.
The Republic of Singapore Navy had no vessels or crafts and only one LST from the Vietnam war era. The Taiwanese donated the 1st batch of patrol crafts for the RSN to form a squadron.

Public report cards on Ministers not my style, says PM
Published: 1:55 AM, January 21, 2017
SINGAPORE — Unlike the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who used to publicly give report cards on his ministers, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stressed that this was not his style.
Instead, he had tried to reinforce his team of ministers following the elections, and the public will make its own assessment on how each minister is performing, said Mr Lee.
“I’m not sure I want to do what Mr Lee did in the old days — he used to give report cards publicly, and I have not generally been doing that. But I think the process is progressing, and I think people are making their assessments and getting the measure of the ministers,” said the Prime Minister, who has said that he would like to step down by 2020, at a dialogue held by EDB Society and The Straits Times.
The session’s moderator, Mr Han Fook Kwang, had earlier asked Mr Lee whether it is clearer now who his successor would be. Mr Han, who is also The Straits Times’ editor-at-large, had voiced his doubts that Mr Lee would not be involved in the selection of his successor, given that he assesses the ministers’ performance.
Mr Lee said, “I have my views, we all have our views. But finally, the new team has to gel and have a leader they will support and work with. And it’s best that the team, who are going to work with that new leader, be the ones who determine who the new leader is going to be.”
He said that in the case of his predecessor — Mr Goh Chok Tong, now Emeritus Senior Minister — the latter’s peers had also decided he should be the next Prime Minister, despite the late Mr Lee preferring Dr Tony Tan.
“We had a meeting after the 1984 elections ... and we decided on Mr Goh. Mr Lee said he preferred Tony Tan, but the younger ones settled for Mr Goh, (so) he supported Mr Goh.
“When it came to the next time, we had a lunch, which (former Deputy Prime Minister) Wong Kan Seng and the other younger ones convened, there were about eight or nine of us, my generation, and they settled on me. So I imagine the next time, somebody will host lunch!” Mr Lee said, to laughter from the audience.
During the dialogue, a member of the audience asked how the Government should balance the need to win elections with bringing back the focus on Singapore’s long-term growth. The speaker said he felt that, since 2011, the Government’s priority had been to win elections, at the expense of sacrificing long-term goals, such as attracting foreign talent here.

Setting aside budget for defence I can understand. To show thy neighbours we are not easily cow. But CB, to spent almost S$14 BILLION on defence yearly. I think is grossly over spent!
So with all the "state-of-the-art" weapons, is it just for show? Should follow what Trump said. Consider the Terrax as stolen lah. Case close!
