    Of course have to have a 10.6 billion budget for Mindef. How else do you think they can fund the F-15SGs and the Formidable class frigates then

  2. I'm agreeing with you guys on this one. There's a need to review the amount of money spent on defense.

  3. 10.6 billion is a large sum indeed, but the equipment we buy is similarly expensive...so cant say much about it...

    Simple enough. Equipment is extremely expensive and the military is inefficient due to NS. Training costs and maintaining all the untrained NS guys must suck up a ton of cash.

    Would be nice to see a more accurate breakdown of the military bill.

  5. I remember reports from Accountant-General, MINDEF always ranks top when it comes to messy accounts and unaccounted for funds. Nowadays they seem to have stopped publishing such reports.
