I don't really see the point of the article. It was obviously written to show that Singapore is a risk, but it doesn't do anything besides point out the obvious. It appears the author just wanted to get something in print.

There are a number of attacks that are also possible that would be much more devistating. Traffic between India and China pass through the Straits. Why not hit those cargo ships directly? IMHO, a combined strike would cause a lot more damage to economies than hitting a port.

Strangely, the author doesn't supply any justification for why Singapore would be hit. 'Terrorists' don't just attack for the sake of attacking. There are well defined goals involved. As far as I am concerned, hit them. Maybe it will finally give Thailand the justification for cutting a channel through Ranong and finally making Singapore dissapear off the map.

On another note, the author fails to mention that Singapore has the most modern military in South-East Asia.
