Intrusion or Apathy?

Recently Singapore officials exposed or rather made subtle remarks that our territorial surveillance is so inept that we couldn't differentiate between commercial aircrafts and military jets.

I mean the Singaporeans were actually saying that we Malaysians (the concerned authorities including the Ministry of Defence) are so pathetic that our multi-million ringgit radars or the personnel analysing data from these radars couldn't tell the difference between a foreign air force jet and a commercial airliner.

The issue surfaced following a Malaysian MP's query in Parliament recently and the Defence Minister promptly replied that there was a total of 2058 intrusion into Malaysian airspace by Singaporean aircrafts since 2008.

This Singapore Story is not new to us. They have been playing this provocative game for a long time but are we now knowingly allowing them to make fun of our APATHY ?

More often than not we blame the snobbish Singaporeans and their acts of Kiasu-ness, BUT are we encouraging them to intrude into our home by leaving our doors unattended (or with doors wide ajar and a few sleeping guards)?

Read how Singapore reacts to a similar situation when the ball is in their court. SMASH!

As usual, we have WARNED them before, 13 years ago and many more diplomatic notes after that, but are they still playing games with us?

Is THIS our problem ?

"With all these points, and the Singapore Ministry of Defense refuting these allegations by insinuating that there is a serious flaw in our 'eyes and ears' of Malaysian airspace, it gets even more curious with the deafening silence of parties involved in the maintenance and operations of these radars." - Taikors n Taikuns
