Asia Pacific Defence Reporter Vol.41, No. 1, Feb 2015 , pp.44-47(9) Summary: Singapore's military capability is difficult to closely assess, as the country's security is excellent and their defence and procurement policies are not subject to partisan use by political parties. In addition, the nation is well aware that discretion is essential in its strategic circumstances. Posturing would unnecessarily irritate its neighbours, and their governments quietly appreciate Singapore's linkages to the USA as these confirm Washington's strategic interests in the region. So Singapore's defence forces are somewhat opaque compared to the other first-world western powers.
