I must agree, after seeing SG soldiers, that in close hand-to-hand combat, the Indons, Thais, Vietnamese could pretty much outmatch them.

But remember SG utilized intensive tech, technologies is what they focused on. Someone above suggested carpet-bomb them, how? They got the most advanced airforce and anti-aircraft defense system in the region, enter their airspace without authorization and there is high chance the computer might send AA missile against you.

Their airforce has 422 fighter jets & combat aircraft, compared with Malaysia's 226, Thailand's 315. Only Vietnam and Indonesia have more at 2075 and 510 aircrafts respectively but most are pretty old and outdated. There is US warships permanently stationed in Singapore, how if accidentally bombed it?

singapore invested $5 billion into indonesia last year on 189 development projects and announced that this year it would increase its investment by another 50%

singaporean companies plan to expand their activities and production base in indonesia by injecting $30 billion into that country this year.

those totaled up into 5% of indonesian GDP and created bunch of employment for indonesians, you don't simply kacau kacau something that will impact your economy.
