By using ship incursion into our territory - is the same textbook tactics employ by this old man - when he tried to force his way on Pedra Branca many decades ago.
It has resulted in many ugly scenes at that time - that almost resulted in armed conflict - until both sides decide to submit to the International Court of Justice to resolve the issue.
Now this old fox Dr M - is replaying his old tactics to try to bully Singapore again on the Port limit.
We should stand firm and assertive in standing up to Dr M and his bullying tactics.

We as Singaporeans should take pride in ourselves and our Country.
If this old man has the propensity to consistently display unfriendliness, and hostility towards us and our Countries - hurting our interests --- then why should we as a citizens --- help this old man to continue to hurt our interests by giving him money to hurt us --- such as patronizing their retail, recreation and making them rich?
We should spend our money in Singapore to help our own people - by giving them business and create more local jobs.
S$16.6 billion a year is a big sum of money - and if Singaporeans spend this in Singapore - how many jobs we can create and how our business can benefit and earn good profit. Why give such a big sum to this old man - to hurt Singapore and Singaporeans?
It is stupid of us to do so.
Also we can see that in their Parliament --- they start to pinpoint Singaporeans as their whipping boys eg. the airspace management, suggestion by their MPs to stop Singaporean cars for plying on their road, immigration officers tearing Singaporean passports, ships incursion into our territory etc.
Only when they display genuine effort to forge friendly relationship with Singapore - should we as citizens show friendliness by visiting their places --- because benefits should be mutual.
By stopping visits to Malaysia - is the most immediate outcome to display our displeasure - and hurt them immediately. This is within our means to do so ---- so why not do it? Our actions will speak louder than words. A loss of RM50 billion (S$16.6 billion) a year will hurt them quite badly ---- as they are already budgeting for deficit - and their coffer is running dry.
When people slap us in the right side of the face --- we should stop visiting them and stop giving them business.
Not let them slap our left side of the face - by still visiting them and continue to give them business.

Ricky Lim Your buy in Singapore tactic dont work. Singaporean are not happy with the high price they have to pay. A large chunk of it is rental, human resources cost and tax. Singaporean dont understand why they have to pay thru the nose to serve a small group of elite(politician and landlord) while they only need to spend a small fraction across the causeway or Singapore straits.
The idea of loving your country and spend your money here wont get resonance unless rental and tax has ben lowered down. Else people will still flocked to causeway despite the long jam(easily 1 hours eachway)

Sinagpore is a small city as well, not many places to go. For many a short strip across the causeway or Singapore Straits is well within budget, easy to organise and less tiem consuming.
The crime rate or bad attitude by officer is only a very small fraction. Many seen it as fear tactic becasue many have not encounter it personally.
