The report practically condemned the JSF F-35 program as a useless piece of equipment that cannot face the challenges of current aircraft and known future aircraft developments coming online from China and Russia.
Each aircraft will cost US$240 million excluding the engine, electronic hardware, weapon systems, stock of missiles and ammunition, pilot and ground crew training, and spares.
While the Australians are having a rethink and internal debate – there is total silence in the mainstream media, and in Parliament.
What is in the minds of the big wigs in the Ministry of Defense and the entire PAP Government in committing to this useless and overpriced single-engined aircraft?
Singaporeans will have to hold the PAP Government accountable in the use of Singapore’s reserves, especially our CPF savings that the PAP Government continues to hold as ransom to ensure their own political survival, which they have been gerrymandering for the last 54 years.
Shame on the PAP Government if it should proceed to commit billions of our money when it refuses to look after the welfare of Singaporeans, who have largely contributed to the largesse that the PAP Government is spending on itself and the toys it needs to continue with its efforts to “manage the perception” that Singapore is a “safe haven”.
