Thought I will wait and see before I add on.
Some of you are right, we can't hold the ground and we will never hold the ground. We don't have the numbers nor the mindset to hold the ground. The affluent families would have sent their families overseas, the FTs would naturally return home etc. So the whole strategy is predicated on not holding the ground. If we can't hold Malaysia, we certainly can't hold any other country. Having said that here is the gist.
1) The entire mechanism is based on deterrence. Similar to what France had during the cold war. Pre-emptive and first strike are the main tactics. It will be airforce and armour. Note the restrictions on Malays for so long. The manoveures and training would have given hint of the strategy. The idea is to destroy key targets and sensitive installations within first few hours. This reduces the fighting capacity to a point where international intervention in terms of military and political would expect to occur.
2) The are alot of assets in South Africa, US, France, Australia, Thailand, etc I am talking about military assets. This is second strategy. Not to compromise all assets at one tiny location - the island of Singapore. 2 Prong - In the event of a surprise attack, we don't give up everything. Secondly, after the expected intervention, the second assets will come in to replenish or to supplement to engage for the longer duration.
3) The third strategy is in the event of a long drawn war, the war cabinet and military command will move to Perth. Kuwaiti government had it in Cairo and we will do exactly what the kuwaitis did during the gulf war. Start liquidating the sovereign funds and assets to pay for the war. Japan during the first Gulf war, paid for much of the costs upfront, the US and its allies provideds the troops. The Kuwaitis paid back in full. The reason many 3rd world countries agreed to take part is that their cost will be covered and Kuwait was rich.
The first strike capability is immense. The air force alone is bigger than most countries in this part of the world including OZ and NZ. To be frank, the Malaysians and the Indonesians have given up. Part of the reason why NS has been reduced the regulars in the army have been cut down.
