You'd be mad to test the Singapore fortress

You'd be mad to test the Singapore fortress, so says this columnist. I also say. 700 soldiers to your 3 bandits. You send one thousand soldiers, we send 233,333. You mad, we madder. Your crack troops may survive on coconut water and little jungle critters, our soldiers have mastered the art and science of the takeaway: we have MREs of tandoori chicken and rice, pulut hitam for dessert, and cereal bars for some fibre. You tell me, who's gunna be the better fed, and better energised one to fight a war?
