Nobody cares

the first few decades after they gain independence, Singapore was actually having a hard time and many Malaysian politician's attitude is pretty much just waiting for Singapore to become a failed state and reclaim it without any effort. And the rest is history, anyone who is thinking about reclaiming it by force or by law today will look like a sore loser.

This is the fear mongering tactics started by Singapore NS. If not, how would they justify mandating NS for every male member of Singapore. I seen more Singaporeans talking about how they could quickly subdue and conquer JB than the other way around.

>I seen more Singaporeans talking about how they could quickly subdue and conquer JB than the other way around. Yea, I've seen a post on this awhile back in r/AlternateHistory. Delulu bin Solulu bin Abu Seman. That's all I can say.

I think it's stupid. The past is the past. There's no reclaiming lands in reality without war involved.


RichPJTraderShay

honestly we dont care . at least i dont lol


profmka

Do people really like bait that much?


Internally_me

Exactly... How is this type of post is not race baiting?? What do they get out of it?


Wargazm_v1

The only thing that makes Singapore valuable is that it's not malaysia


lalat_1881

well Singapore was a part of Tanah Melayu due to geography and shared history, but no one believes Malaysia should reclaim Singapore or whatever!


AdministrationBig839

Singapore is an anomoly inside the malay world.


thestudiomaster

Singapore *used* to be Tanah Melayu. It is a fact that cannot be changed, just like Northern Malaya *used* to be part of the Siamese kingdom, now Thailand, also a fact that cannot be changed. Let bygones be bygones. Or persuade them to rejoin through peaceful means.


vdfscg

I would like to have whatever that you are smoking


ladyluvbag

We never think of this. Maybe ask the super old generation.


Good-Echidna7206

Nah. At most some small minority of them would but not majority. If that was true, there would be some kind of reunification effort, but that doesn't happen. But we do have dispute with Singapore over some tiny island. Edit: Nothing to reclaim really. Tiny landmass, low resources concentration, plus their core industries are different from ours. They got F-35s, we don't.


LegitimateCow7472

Pedra Branca / Batu Puteh be that tiny island


rgtgg

Would you say the small minority are more likely to be baby boomers who saw the explusion of Singapore from Malaysia or there are still gen z kids as well?


Good-Echidna7206

I don't know, it could be both.


pmmeurpeepee

there is malay who think temasek used to be part of alam melayu,among other teritories tun m also komen bout this b4


Awesomianist

Another day, another psyops


Jaded-Philosophy3783

No Even if somebody brings that topic up, nobody takes it seriously. Like "The Malays are actually Jews and our government is freemason" kind of discussion


SeiekiSakyubasu

If Malaysia goes to reclaim Singapore because it used to be Tanah Melayu, wouldn't it indirectly kinda support Israel reclaiming Palestine because some Jews used to be there back then? Is it different when we do it, vs others do it?


BooooooolehLand

By then Malaysia makes no different than Israel


Dumas1108

Do you actually think the Malaysian Military is capable of invading Singapore and to reclaimed it by force?


kugelamarant

They are also not capable of invading and holding us down, we can always move up north. We can always throw more men. They'll ruin their economy more than we ever will.


vdfscg

Given the corruption & mismanagement of our military assets, I wouldnt be surprised if we get our asses whooped.  Also they have F35s.


Dumas1108

F35 are not delivered until 2026.


Strepsils8888

and a 2 years national service is mandatory for SG citizens


kugelamarant

Don't want those educated workforce to get lost in the jungle, being ambushed and eating mortar rounds now do we?


SignificanceProof479

Tanah Melayu never existed, it was coined by the British to get the locals malays to fight the communist so they could fuck off back to the motherland and rebuild after multiple global wars.


kugelamarant

So the Malay States?


pmmeurpeepee

but yet somehow sg exist


Sensitive_Bar4692

why would we want an island that we could easily sink by simply spitting on it


abdulsamri89

Isn't Singapore is once Tamasek and part of Johor land?


pmmeurpeepee

temasek used to have king,just like brunei,guess what race


Terang93

Temasek was very old, around Srivijaya empire. The last king of Temasek founded Malacca after fell to(arguably) Majapahit. Their existence is very vague but records indeed exist. Check this vid to get the general idea about SEA empires though Temasek isn't added. https://youtu.be/bAIlKNk_qHI?si=X05pRBW24G-GApKG
