Now Singapore under cyber attack all our websites and servers depend on foreigners for
their security. So what is going to happen?

IT was a popular and decent profession in the 1990s right up to 2000. What happened? Why
have Singaporeans moved away from IT and engineering and now depend on foreigners.

1. The PAP opened the floodgates to foreigners in this profession.
2. The large numbers stagnated the salaries in these incomes and foreigners
who worked long enough too up to managerial positions.
3. Singaporeans go wind of what has happened and students shun engineering courses in NUS/NTU
they also moved away from IT.
4. In order to fill up places in NUS/NTU, the govt gave free scholarships to foreigners who flooded into these
faculties. Because these courses are dominated by foreigners even fewer Singaporeans want to take them.
5. The whole thing created a vicious cycle leading to loss of deep expertise in these areas among Singaporeans.
Instead of climbing up the technical ladder in these Singapore climbed down the vicious cycle of "cheaper-better".

Come 5 November 2013, when the wave of cyber attacks come, there will be no means and know-how to fight...
most likely they will wave the white flag and say the system is under maintenance like the did yesterday but the whole world
less the few heavily brainwashed Singaporeans will know what happened.

What will happen is our major websites of government will go into hiding because they are outsourced and maintained by foreigners.
But we will survive the attack after all it is just a few websites.

But think a little harder ...our entire economy has reached the point of no return of foreign outsourcing....when the time comes there will be no
place to hide!
 
I hope US will drop a few nuclear bombs into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh ...... and drop some into PRC as well.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

A few DDoS attacks, a few sites defaced because of poor coding in a badly written plug in... these are not show stoppers... it's just vandalism.

Vandals damage public property in the real world too. The efficient Singapore govt cleans up the mess very quickly and life goes on. In other countries, graffiti is never cleaned up. It's there forever.

Sir, like I also said a few website are of no consequence but the whole sampan 2.0 ..that is what worries me.
 
some people and websites suggested that it could be means by gobbermen to introduce draconian measures, meaning self inflicted hacks

The PAP government is one of the best in the world. They have every right to feel proud of their achievements.
