We need a conversation
Gustavius
Yes I know, this is a back-up or "Continue Talking" article after The Man's article We need a voice! but you know what? I can't be bothered with that as our nation need to stay active.
==========================
Why The Man's idea is good?
Well, we can all see that people don't stay active at our National forum or stay active in the Nations affairs in general for a long time, so why not try to get out the politics and the progress of Malaysia out too you guys and too do it by using the media.
By doing that, we can perhaps get the nations more active and make it a better place for everyone, because without discussion it's impossible to lead a nation, and without discussion it's really hard to do anything and to know peoples opinions and thoughts.
==========================
Todays topic - A Merge between Singapore and Malaysia?
You know, I like this idea in one way, but hate it in one other.
So let's go over this shortly, How would Malaysia earn something from this action?
Let's make a "Pro and Cons"-list!
Pros - The good things
* We would be stronger.
* We would have a more active nation.
* We would no longer have the problem with our economy.
* In a short term view our relations would improve.
* We don't need to worry so much about an attack from neighboring nations.
* The product would probably be cheaper in the long term.
* We would be a part of the Singaporean military system - no need to construct one on our own.
* One have always a greater chance too be really really rich in a large nation.
Cons - The bad things
* We would lose our independence.
* We might lose citizens in a long term (Malaysians won't join the game)
* It could damage our relations.
* It could develop into a serious problem in the future if Malaysia wants to be free, but is denied.
* If we are attacked and lost, then our enemies would have saved some gold...
* We would have problems in the beginning as we from Malaysia would have no money, and own a worthless one.
* We could be denied our independence and freedom the day which we ask for it.
So well, thats my ideas, now let's see that the rest of you guys think.
Gustavius - Don't forget to join the National forum.

No, a great comment.
But in one way as I said, I stand in two pieces, but any motivation Panzer?
finally i did something good and got credit for it 😃 anyway, i think, yeah, it's a good idea in certain aspects, but the cons outweigh the pros. now i'm accusing anyone of anything, but doesn't this smell a little rotten? is there a lust for imperialism in singapore that we don't know about? if there is, then they'll probably get us either way with the population difference. Malaysia does have a few areas of high resources so this could attract them to this. on this, i would vote no, and say that an alliance system (PEACE, Atlantis, group of other neutral countries) would be a better option then possibly giving up our freedom permanently.
Let me be clear: I will not support unification, Malaysia will lose its voice and influence forever. I will be damned if I see Malaysia colonized again.
Just so you know, this wasn't something Singapore brought up. Malaysian citizens brought the idea to Singapore citizens and the idea was only tossed around. When the topic was finally brought before me I also said its unrealistic at this time. It could be a long term goal if desired by Malaysians, but it is not Singapore's responsibility to absorb Malaysian problems of finance & govt. If this is to ever be something of desire it would have to be done in the best interest of all parties involved.
like i said, i'm not accusing anyone and i appologize. i wasn't informed on this. still, i don't think it would be the best idea.
Btw, it is real life Malaysians that brought the idea up, and real life Singaporeans are supportive of the idea too.
To these real life citizens, it is a merger like Great Britain, like United Kingdom.
So I don't see why should it be seen as Singapore swallowing Malaysia. The cons as what Gustavius has mentioned are non-existent in the eyes of real life Singaporeans and Malaysians.
And, like what the Singaporean president, Arbryn, has said, the merger is financially infeasible right now. The new government of the Union will inherit Malaysia's current problems, and several other things that need to be dealt with.
The pro's outweigh the cons, and the cons are all hypotheticals. Don't deal in hypotheticals, only solids.
I have had extensive talks with the highest officials from Singapore and we've decided to shelf this project.
It will cost us almost 500G for the war and invasion and all that crap.

@Gustavius
😁lol
Well, for everyone who calls my Cons irrelevant or false, not to brag but this is what I remember from the time then I was a politician in Sweden and worked with the liberation of Denmark, and after that I could see, this is the end result with the Merge or over-take of Denmark.
But still, This merge would not be a over-take or some evil imperialistic plan from Singapore, it would be a democratic way to unite the two nations under a new name.
But still, This idea is if you ask me something which is not fantastic, and No, I'm not just thinking on the 500 gold it would cost, I'm more interested in the freedom of the two nations.
And I have once again experienced difficulties if Malaysia or Singapore would like to break free from this union.
The idea is not fantastic at the moment, that is definitely agreed. lol!
Singapore only hopes to remind Malaysians that we aren't some warped government bent on making sure Malaysia lose its independence forever.
We really hope to have great relations, and work together in each other's best interest, both being new and vulnerable nations. 🙂
Conflict between us both is the worse idea, since it will weaken us both only. 🙂
So as we Malaysians and Singaporeans like to say, jangan tension lah! hahaha!!!
Majulah Singapura dan Malaysia!
Amen!
Voted
