just some SG being overly paranoid .
You need to understand their psyche and overall line of thinking. Most of it is domestic in nature rather than anything cross border. Another aspect to consider is they are predominantly of the 漢族 stock, that alone is an important factor to understand them.

With ASEAN getting more connected as times goes with people from across the region can easily move to one another member states, along with the proliferation of the internet, thus indirectly fostering people-to-people relation further than any period in history, it's getting more difficult for the 🇸🇬 defence establishment to justifying the amount of defence budget to GDP ratio to their own taxpayer & politicians. In essence, ASEAN as an institution have successfully served its purpose in preventing zero-sum game among member states.

What we usually see as 🇸🇬 over reacting is merely the fruit of the effort of their defence establishment to stay relevant with their budgetary request.

Another thing that most people forgot (because nobody had ever mention it openly) is, the formation of Batam Special Region is born as a fruit of tripartite treaty between 🇮🇩🇸🇬 and 🇺🇸 as security guarantor.

Or their kiasu mentality is at the play again, not one or two Times they become overtly paranoid and easy to fall for such situation.

View attachment 29524
Tasmanian wolf (different species from above (grey wolves) ) was extinct because the herders just shooting them, preemptively even. I don't wanna see that certain area of Russia lost all their grey wolf, as Java lost its tiger, but likely not, Grey wolf are too widespread lol

Edit: Tasmanian tiger is more used than wolf

Indonesia sets 2022 defence budget at USD9.3 billion​

by Jon Grevatt



Indonesia's government has announced a 2022 defence budget of IDR134.1 trillion (USD9.3 billion) amid continuing economic constraints bought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The new appropriation is a nominal 2% decline on the original 2021 defence budget of IDR136.9 trillion but a 12% increase over the revised allocation for this year of IDR120.1 trillion, budget according to documents issued by the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

Janes Defence Budgets forecasts real-term declines in Indonesia's defence budget in the near term. Growth is forecast from 2025. (Janes Defence Budgets)

The 2022 military expenditure represents 5% of total government expenditure for the year and about 0.7% of GDP. The downsizing of the budget in 2021 was a result of budget reallocations linked to the pandemic, said the MoF. Some of the defence funds were used to procure vaccines, it said.

According to the MoF, the increase in 2022 over the revised 2021 expenditure is consistent with an effort to “realise the fulfilment of the Minimum Essential Force” (MEF) strategy, the term given to the Indonesian military's modernisation programme.

It said defence budget priorities in 2022 included the accelerated procurement of defence equipment, sustaining and upgrading existing materiel, and improving military infrastructure.

The MoF documents show that ‘modernisation' projects – including procurement and sustainment – will receive IDR43.2 trillion in 2022 while funding for military personnel expenses and welfare has been allocated INR12 trillion. Both are small increases over the original allocations in 2021.

The remainder of funds in 2022 will be split across operations, infrastructure investment, research and development, and ‘defence resources'.
