Singapore has a different set of politicians that are well versed in security and defence. Hence, anything that they do is with security and defence in mind. I suppose their involvement in the the National Service have made them to think that way. Unlike our politicians, anything they do is linked to business interest. I may be wrong, and please correct me for this wild sounded allegation.Mohd Arshad Rajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280406045497460630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-73786619507442449472009-05-25T08:51:03.186+08:002009-05-25T08:51:03.186+08:00Najib was "testing for height" when he announced h...Najib was "testing for height" when he announced his consideration to build Link 3 during his recent visit to Singapore. <br /><br />Nice to see you guys responding with your own perceptions to Najib's annoncement but it would be most interesting to watch Singapore's reactions to the idea.<br /><br />I have known Singapore leaders right from the days of Lee Kuan Yew and now Lee Junior is the PM. Irrespective of leadership changes, their policy, stand and approaches in dealing with our leaders remain consistant. Ours? <br />You already have the answers! <br /><br />Singapore may accept Najib's idea of the Link 3 but I can bet, Singapore would do it only at their own advantages. I must caution our political leaders, whatever happens, national pride, defence and security is above everything else! Go and refer to Mahathir, what made him decide to build the "crooked bridge" when he was PM!<br /><br />Dato', isn't there an integrated national development planning committee where defence planners are key members of the committe? I would expect when the nation built North-South highways, there are some stretches of the highway designed with specifications for emergency runaways for our fighter and transport planes to utilise during times of crisis! Most defence and security minded nations such as Singapore, Taiwan, North and South Korea have such plans.<br /><br />If there isn't such a committee, it is about time the nation has one and the right general sits in this commitee. This will ensure strategic, defence and security considerations are given priority in future national structural developments.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221484800062488881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-83466491892398799762009-05-25T00:14:59.294+08:002009-05-25T00:14:59.294+08:00Salam Pak Chat,

Whatever the reason cited by Najib, the point is that 3rd link was Mahathir's idea dumped by Pak Lah and now relived by Najib. Are the two existing links not enough, that we need another link? Or was the 2nd link a bad plan that it has turned into a white elephant? I would agree with Najib if he could quote a simple reason for the 3rd link is to serve the purpose of facilitating fluid development of Iskandar Malaysia where Singaporeans had vested interest in potential business investment there.<br /><br />Now if you guys want to talk from defence perception about the potential military threats by building the 3rd link, don't just think on the 3rd link, think also on the two existing links, and the many variuos means, seaborne, airborne and land borne, that are available for any invasion force to invade our country from the Johore side.<br /><br />And what is there to worry about building bridges if most nations in the world are building bridges ready with the demolition plan for the bridge in the face of a military threat. In singapore they have ready the demolition points for every strategic bridge in their defence plan and of all we know Singapore could have even catered their plan for the two existing links to be demolished in case of war for they too feared invasion from Malaysia. That if we want to talk about fear of war, both we and Singapore are thinking alike about bridges.<br /><br />To me what is sceptical about the 3rd link is not defence. To me what is baffling is why would Najib replicate Mahathir's idea to make Mahathir happy and in a way hurt Pak Lah not long or very soon after he is in power?<br /><br />You guys may talk on defence perception about the 3rd link until ages and trust me it will never satisfy any of us because it is subjective.FMZamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684540817175263124noreply@blogger.com
