A $50 million upgrade
to the Singapore Armed Forces’ facilities at the Oakey Army Aviation Centre,
has been awarded to Toowoomba-based construction company FKG Group.
The project will
include refurbishment of helicopter training facilities and the construction of
new logistics and maintenance facilities and airfield infrastructure for the
Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), which bases its helicopter training at
Oakey. The new work is being done to support an additional detachment of Boeing
CH-47 airframes that is due to be deployed to the RSAF’s Helicopter Squadron.
The program of work is
expected to commence in December and take 11 months to complete.
The RSAF’s helicopter
squadron utilises the Oakey Army Aviation Centre following an agreement between
the Australian and Singaporean governments.

I think Singapore better save the money as
the little country spend more on defense than Thailand and Malaysia combined
with very little to justify the $12 billion budget. I hope they heed my advice as when Thailand
start construction of the Kra canal I guess it will take a decade after completion
of the Kra canal that we will witness the decline of the state city
economically and socially and I imagine that will not bode well for the ruling family of Singapore. Guess why they need the new expensive submarine must be for emergencies.
