The aim of the article is to explore the responses by two armed forces - those of Singapore and Malaysia - to the changing geopolitical complexion of the Asia-Pacific region over the last several years, occasional by the relatively increased significance of China, Japan and India in the Asian strategic equation. It is argued that concern about the intentions of the Chinese, Japanese and Indians has indeed played a significant role in the evolution of the two ASEAN states armed forces. (DÜI-Sen)
