Seng is a tiny mixed blood boy (74% Chinese, 13% Malay, 10% Indian and 3% others). By a large margin, he is the smallest kid in the playground where there were many kids who are much bigger than him.

This is no surprise and no coincidence that despite the years of military hardware movement through Hong Kong from Taiwan to Singapore without any issue, the Hong Kong authorities has now taken such drastic and humiliating measures to seize this particular shipment at this time.

Look at how Singapore PAP government (Little Red Dot) treats USA (World's Biggest Economy). Is this the correct diplomacy to earn respect from foreign leaders?

I am happy to see the PAP defeated due to Trump's win. Their future plans regarding the TPP has been ruined. Those who voted for them , the 70% orbi goot !

I refer to the 30 Jan 2016 Straits Times report "Singapore's sovereignty 'never a given'". Ambassador-at-large Mr Bilahari Kausikan reportedly said: the 193 countries that make up the UN were sovereign, but beyond their "one seat, one vote and one flag" there, some were either being yanked every >which way by major global powers or rent asunder by internal conflicts. Singapore was represented under Malaysian sovereignty in the UN in 1963. It can be said that Malaysia-Singapore had already been rent asunder by internal conflicts in 1965. We turned out better off without Malaysia. Hence, being rent asunder due to internal conflicts isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Speaking to the Press after the end of tough Opposition talks to avoid multi-cornered fights, People's Power Party veteran politician Goh Meng Seng had this to say about the Worker's Party withdrawal from the latest crunch talks.

No matter how big or small a party is, it must learn how to exercise Diplomacy but not hypocrisy or Wayang. From little things like negotiations, the party should not pretend to attend but just refuse any negotiation process. Worse still, while ignoring all attempts to talk or negotiate but put up a pretence in public media that there is such negotiation going on.
