Batu Puteh and Malaysian sovereignity

In the light of recent event in which Pedra Branca fell into Singapore's grip, I would like to make and open discussion of the affairs, with info courtesy of an informant. I am an otaku of military technology although I have seen only a few series of the Future Weapons on TV. If you happened to watch one, it's a great eye opener.

Somebody wrote a scenario if Singapore goes to war with Malaysia. Given all that air superiority and artillery firepower, Johor will be overran in a matter of days and KLCC will be bombed until the last structure that remains is the Maxis Tower. An insider told me that Singapore's army has enough artillery firepower to cut off Johor from the peninsular Malaysia, it might be an exaggeration but nevertheless it is a frightening scenario. They might even have nuclear based arsenal.

With all deterrent that the Malaysian defence force have, can we withstand the onslaught of the Singaporean army? Well, if we can't face them in an open battlefield, we can fight them from the shadow. Malaysian army is well known for its jungle guerilla warfare. Perhaps this is where our army stands out the most. It will be an assymetric warfare, but nonetheless it is better to avoid an open conflict through negotiations.

Suggestions to maintain a balance in military prowess.

1. Fortify the position down south
2. Hit them at where it hurts the most, kill of the water supply
3. Use the defense budget wisely to keep up with our neighbor's spending
4. Local defense technology and industrial development
