    I can’t imagine the folks that run Singapore would be thrilled at a nose dive in shipping traffic. Would they even play ball?

    I mean at that point what’re they gonna do, the Singaporean navy has 6 subs and 32 surface ships. Similar but slightly larger for Malaysia. FWIW ships can just bypass the entire Malacca Strait, and it’s not nearly as far as being forced to go around the cape.
