Sowho will they send in then? Or can send in?
Our Old man did not come from the military.
To answer your question.
LKY's own private army aka as the Gurkha Regiment. They will be the ones doing all the shooting of any protesters like how they will shoot dogs.
believe you me, once they whip out their kukris, even the so called China battle hardened japanese soldiers during WW2 were rumoured to have forsaken their positions for fear of getting chopped.
Do they really obey him? ARe they invincible?
Lee Kuan Yew's infamous statement a few years back said that in the event of a "freak" election, the army would have to be sent in. But really can it?
Trust me, that fell creature no longer has the authority nor power to do his wish. Army? depends on which army he was talking. Singapore arm forces are very angry with PAP policies, you think our men care two hoots about PAP lost of power?
Right. My original post said it is challenging to get any unit to activate and carry out orders. Also, most weapons are under lock and key by either ST people (which may be pro-Lee) or Armskote men (simple heartlanders). You figure out who will be willing to open the locks to distribute the arms?
LKY specifically said Army. Not so possible for the Air Force to intervene since helicopters or fighters flying will have to cross by Malaysian and Indonesian airspace for their attack run. Smae with the Navy and the Navy will not be able to reach inland.
u ever served NS or not. army may have weapons but no ammo lah.
only mata keep weapons and ammo inside one compound. that why only the most trusted familee member hold the MHA portoflio.

The gurkhas in Singapore number about a regiment which is more than enough to wipe out a sinkie brigade...besides who is SAF is gonna take up arms to fight in a civil war anyways?
Most sinkies will probably be jamming the causeway or scrambling on the next flight out of sinkapore....
One person's "freak election" is another's "change".
Singapore army are all reservists and will not follow any order to go after own citizens. Think about it - you probably have friends, relatives, all over parts of Singapore so they will not do anything.
Gurkhas are irrelevant especially when you have 500K to 700K ex nsmen. At the very least they know a little about FIBUA.
I will never turn the gun again my own people's, but to a enemy than want to in ate Singapore that different. Don't forget we are a citizen army.pls guys! stop posting nonsense here. u think the army will do what lky want them to do? will u if u kena recall? regular? sg so small. if ask u to contain riots, u will see you friends, school mates, sex partners, ex gfs, in laws. etc. i will not do, they can charge me for insubordination or i will even join in the riot with equipments drawn. the only way is what laksa boy said, get the Gurkha contingent involved.
