China misunderstand Singapore? Really?


Tommy Koh wrote a piece titled ‘What China misunderstands Singapore’ in the ST on 21 Oct 16. Before dealing with the content of what he said, let me just take a broad view of what the article is trying to say. My first point, is the author assuming that the Chinese are not that clever and did not understand what Singapore is all about? If that is the case maybe Singapore can loan one of its super talented diplomats to help the Chinese understand Singapore.  Even our journalists and political thinkers are all full of themselves and wanting to teach the Chinese how to run their country.

Oh, they did not know that Singapore is a multi racial country and is in the middle of a sea of Muslim states and have different kinds of problems and issues to think about. They did not understand or got no intelligence to understand that Singapore needs the Americans to use might is right to protect Singapore from its neigbours if they turned hostile.

Ok, let me deal with the straw men that were raised to be shot down.  I would not deal with every little piece of thing the author said but just a few pertinent points for discussion. The Chinese, because Singapore has a Chinese majority country, ‘has given rise to unreasonable expectations on the part of China towards Singapore’. Now what are these unreasonable expectations and why are these unreasonable? ‘They feel that since Singaporeans are fellow Chinese, we should have a better understanding of China’s policies than other Asean countries. They also expect Singapore to support China’s policies.’ The first expectation, a better understanding of China’s policies, unreasonable? Even without the Chinese majority, any foreign officer or leader in charge of foreign affairs are expected to try to have a better understanding of the policies of big powers. Whether he/she agrees is another thing. It will only be an issue when taking a position. What is so unreasonable about a better understanding of another country’s position?

The second expectation, Singapore to support China’s policies. This would be unreasonable when the policies are against the interest of Singapore.  And if it is a case of a tussle between two super powers, it would be unreasonable for China to expect Singapore to support China against another superpower. Likewise it would be unreasonable for Singapore to support another super power against China. Ok, this part is only true if Singapore really wants to be neutral. See, we can see clearly why China is unreasonable but blind to our own unreasonableness. Oh, I forgot, we support US position, or not really support US position, is because we are supporting principles, supporting international laws, supporting freedom of navigation, and these seemed to be the same as what the US is supporting, so we are not supporting the US against China, we are not unreasonable. My eyeballs are rolling. To say this kind of argument is clever is as good as saying snake oil salesmen are very clever.
I do not want to rehash why the kangaroo court is not UN backed and is not about international law or freedom of navigation is affected or someone is more principled and someone is not.

How many reasonable people, principled people, really believe, honestly believe, that the kangaroo court, the way it was set up and the way judgement was passed, is about international law, upholding international law and about principles, justice and fair play?

I will touch on the other 3 ‘misunderstandings’ if I feel exasperated enough to touch on them later, one at a time.

A kangaroo court is a kangaroo court, UN backed or not UN backed. And this kangaroo court was definitely not UN backed.  And its decision was nothing binding and nothing about international law. It abused international law by its rubbish interpretation of reefs and islands. Not all international judges are intelligent and the kangaroo court is a good example to prove how silly these people can be.

"And its decision was nothing binding and nothing about international law. It abused international law by its rubbish interpretation of reefs and islands. "
Singapore can hardly be misunderstood. The above statements are truth. The judgment was NOT UN backed. Singapore academics similar to this guy spoke about would like citizens to think that was UN backed. It irritated me as a average IQ. Academic can twist the facts meh?
Then the judgment is not laws. If they are laws for navigations at South China Seas, these laws will overturn historical facts. Taiping island, the largest of all, was in black and white JUDGED as a rock. The remaining islands are all rocks. The new navigation laws, if applied, will mean those FISHER men living within 200 nautical miles will NOT enjoy the 200 nautical miles sea resources. The fisher men will have 12 nautical miles to fish within their own rock waters. If Taiping is island as it is now, the fisher men will enjoy 200 nautical miles sea resoruce.

There are so many islands and rocks. This Judgment knocked out 200 nautical miles ownership for fisher men. Mainly Chinese including Taiwan fisher men are affected.

This judgment also knocked off the validity of 9 dash lines, indicating the ownership by map. The "strong and powerful" judgment benefits Singapore? None of this. The judgment disadvantaged China. The Chinese drew the 9 dashline. Singapore wants to support such knock out of ownership of 9 dashline. The "want" was so clear. The leeder stated openly that China must support the "laws" and the "strong and powerful" judgment.

This academic s writing of "misunderstanding" will not turn the facts around. The China population now rank Singapore as a hostile country similar to US. China s media description of Singapore is: the front foot soldier for US warrior s horse. Low ranking soldier on foot to guide the horse of high ranking soldier riding on the beast. That is Singapore. The foreign policy will affect Singapore s export to China and tourists from China. Anyway, sour grape if correct, Singapore is so rich per capital, the citizens do not need China market. Citizens all support the dear leeder s judgment on UN backed tribunal judgment. No doubt about this point. This academic is being to coward to portrait Singapore s real stand being "misunderstood". NO NO. Singapore stand for the UN backed Hague Tribunal Judgment in favor of the Philippines on South China seas on 12 July 2016. No and citizens dont run away for what leeders had said.

Actually, hor ,if there is war between US and China or Luan cause by US it is good for singapore . Our

Property price will shoot up. Look when HK was about taken over by China many Honkies can to Singapore beside Canada. Even HDB

Also special offer to them. Same with Indonesia and Malaysia racial problems. Even the red shirts and Yellows in Bankok

Could this be our interest. We used to live on the "stupidity" of our neighbors . But it was THEN.

What do you think. Possible,maybe.

Tiok. That's why China ignore the ruling, and hence can avoid the bad effects of the ruling.

And not all politicians elected to power are intelligent. But too bad, the stupid voters can ignore them but cannot avoid bad effects when these politicians make silly decisions.

Tommy Koh got to give support and credence to the Kangaroo Hague Ruling.
Sinkieland won one rock and another rock of Pulai Batu Puteh aka Pedra Branca goes Malaysia.

He is one of the Prime mover in the claimant.

If China don't not recognise and Philippines accept her decision then Matland can appeal and reclaim again.

If Matland on friendly terms with PRC then she will jeopardise the plans as laid by Uncle Sam in league with Sinkieland to contain China.

Now on map Sinkie land already painted the American flag as the 51 state of America.

patriot said...


l will be the Second One to wonder what kind of EQ and IQ
our Leeders, Diplomats and Intellectuals have.
The Hague Tribunal and its' ruling on the South China Sea
was obviously ultra vires and
worse, FOUL, period.
What is so difficult to understand that?

Yes! Sin has to face challenges
for it to survive in a not too friendly region and environment.
Does this mean Sin has to align
a belligerent superpower?
Historically, the US is a stolen land from its' indegenious people; the Red Indians, who
were to a large exterminated and
on the Way to extinction.

Rb and Southernglory have done
much here to enlighten Sinkies
and others who are here.
ls there a lack of knowledge of history in our leeders and intellectuals? lt does appear so.
The US through out its' existence,
has always remain belligerent in
record.
To align with a belligerent entity is to participate in the
evilness of the Scoundrel.

The Doctrine of Manifest Destiny
itself is Ultimate Evil. Crusade for freedom, read democracy, for
mankind proclaimed to be equal
for all? And yet the US wants hegemony of the World.

Anyone who plays double headed snake and double crossed any party involved shall not end
up well.

Nobody will ever like any double
headed snake, this is for sure.

Readers please watch this one: East Timor vs Australia.
"Australia has lost in its claim that an international commission has no jurisdiction to hear a complaint by East Timor in the bitter dispute over undersea oil and gas riches.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull earlier this year knocked back a call for fresh negotiations on the maritime boundary in the Timor Sea, but the decision released on Monday from the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague opens the way for talks between the two countries."

Readers must note: Timor uses the REAL Hague Arbitration court.

What is Australia s stand on using REAL Hage Arbitration court???

"Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was also quick to note the conciliation process invoked by East Timor is not binding. " (Sydney Morning Herald Sep 26, 2016)

If some country uses REAL arbitration court, Australia will not recognize. But Australia recognized the Kongcum ruled Court set up by US lawyers for Philippines.
That Kongcum ruled Court s judgment is supported by little dot's leeder. He said its the "strong and powerful" judgment and China must follow the international laws.

So dear readers, and me, how to interpret this world? Who is upholding the correct court s ruling?

Will Singapore leeders support the REAL Hague Court ruling against Australia if the latter loses against Timori s claims?

Not really lah. There may be more to it than meets the eye.

Maybe behind the scenes the Americans are telling Hsien Loong, "if you don't do what I want you to do, no advanced weapon sales to you and no protection for tiny Sinkieland".

Now if you were Hsien Loong, what would you do then? Lan lan obey lor, tio bo?

Duterte is almost completely doing the Opposite of his predeccessor Aquino.
The Latter was a US Stooge through and through, maybe due to his lack of
confidence and or ability of independence.

Duterte risks facing the Wraths of
drug lords and in the Case of his
relationship with the US, many are
worry that he maybe assasinated
for alienating the Philippines from
the US. And this is bcos many other
rulers were suspected to have been dealt with in liked manner whence
they ran out of favour with the US.

Duterte would be protected, condoned
if he align with the US and maybe confer honorary citizenships for himself
and his clans if he goes along with the US.
Thus far, Duterte has proven his leadership sterlingly with decisive
determination.
If he gets peace and prosperity for
his people and his country, he deserves
a Nobel Prize for Bravery .

Kudos to the Man.

I see Deterte looks rough but he is actually an intelligent man. He calculates and rationalized issues. On the other hand, the leeders of little dot including those "tin tank" who attempted to blind the public by claiming the "tribunal" judgment was UN backed. I found these leeders and academic are living in the past 15 year world. They thought the general public really believed the "tribunal" was real.

Deterte knew it was not real. It was not a convincing victory for phillippines. China chinese are not convinced by the logic of the judgment. Deterte knew phillippines could not enforce and impose the judgment on China population. Depending on US to grab the land of Huangyen dao which Aquino declared as pinoy s island? US will not use force to help him. Depend on pinoys soldiers to die for the island? He will not get victory or the pinoys soldiers will die for nothing against the PLA.

Meanwhile, little dot leeders claimed credits for upholding international laws. The leeders never ever expect Deterte was so intelligent and cool minded.

Instead of helping US and lost USD33millions for legal fees, Deterte asked China for money. He got all. 900 millions USD loans and lots of businesses for his 250 delegates accompanying him in Beijing. It was an early Chrismas party for Deterte.

Who are the losers? The little dot citizens. Far less tourists from China, and declining export to the biggest export market China. These people do not know why the Chinese are against Singaporeans when they travel to China now. That is the price to pay for not reading blogs such as RBs one to deepen understanding of polics affecting business and pocket.

Why didn't LHL goes to Japan parliament and tell Abe that Okinotorishima is not a island.

It is simply a rock. Abe and Singapore strongly support the ruling. Am i right?

It wont hurt the relationship between Singapore and Japan if LHL tell Abe to accept this ruling- Okinotorishima is not an island.

I am not sure you trying to be sarcastic or are simply naive. Singapore DOES NOT NEED FAULTY FIGHTER JETS rejected by Us Airforce. As mattrr of fact, even if these jets are really super good, we dont need them. Because modern warfare in this part of the world, is not fought by state of the art squadrons, battalions or submarines whathaveyous. Our real enemies are suicide bombers, terrorism, covert operations. You could spend a zilkion dollars on Americans fighterjets, and you cannot even handle suicice bomber style terrorism, not even little india mini-riot. The Americans only know how to sell weapons, it is their business to create imaginary scenarios of war in peaceful asia.
CHINA apparent militarization in SCS is in direct response to 3 times build up of Japanese military in last few years. The Japanese invasion of china lives in the memories of china, as Abe refused to recognise the Nanjing Massacres of 600,000 chinese in the 1930'd. Frankly speakung, Singapore should not get involved either side.

U reminded me of reading the article in Huanqiu. It came with picture. Singapore changi has parked the Coronado that has powerful radar to monitor china war ship, which has ballistic weapon some84 harpoon. In other words, the weapon can reach china and the radar collects data for war with china in future. All is done at changi.

The author warned singapore. It might be the fish inside the pond when the pond is in trouble.

I understood the warning by thinking that, if china firing missiles to destroy the war ships in changi, Singapore civilians should not blame china if they are hurt.
This is real. I never want to live at changi area.

Amazing to make such a big mountain from a molehill.

Singaporean born local chinese, join RSAf, but in war, would he feel right to go bomb Shanghai or beijing, to help "American allies"?
I could ask the same question another way, singapore born bred indian man join RSAF, but in war would he feel right to bomb india?
Even lee kuan yew knew, he would not expect Malay Singaporean to bomb malaysia, therefore no malay pilots.
So who are we kidding? We cannot bomb anyone. WE CANNOT BOMB ANYONE!!So why we have to spend so much on warplanes and advanced war exercises in usa and Australia etc?
The problem is that PAP MADE SINGAPORE Americanised , our news readers on tv speak American english, we only watch Cnn, read American books,watch American movies...we never educate schoolchildren about china history for irrational fear that china is evil politically...

Sinkie opposition leader Dr Chee Soon Juan can be considered as the "Aung San Suu kyi" of Sinkieland because they both suffered (or persecuted) politically for a long time in their respective countries.

But unlike Aung San Suu kyi, Chee Soon Juan just cannot win elections, so have no power like Aung San Suu kyi.

With no power, Chee Soon Juan cannot do anything, unlike Duterte or Aung San Suu kyi. So sad.

Dear anon.
The scenario of Singapore bombing china was indirectly suggested by one commentor above. The usa has advanced weaponry stationed in Singapore. The entire struggle of SCS being a contest of power between usa war monger and china, could in the long run lead to minor, or major war. The commentor wrnt on to say china could bomb the American installations in changi. In Such case, and since pinoy now pro-china, and Malaysia is definitely anti USA, THEN USA WILL chor chor Singapore help to fight china. Why on earth we want to be invo!ved in other people quarrels?

Very comprehensive package ranging from welcoming Philipine bananas and mango exports, to Central Bank cooperation in currency maatters. China will also increase scholarship places for pinoys, help in drug rehabilitation of pinoys. Sounds good! Peace is much better than War, Duterte is a wise man, continue to partner with Usa, and suffer the endless "humiliation" (Duterte own word) of pinoys. Americans talk down to philionos, butbthe Chinese talk WITH them!!

All this talking about little dot SAF helping US to fight in middle east, i hope is not real. I have not seen on msm. Voters must be alert. Deterte gave up the fight with China had valid reason. US asked Philippines to do joint war game at Scs and other places, the equipment was temporary loan to Philippines army. After the exercises, US collected back the weapons. US provided outdated and used war ships boats to pinoys. Celebration? No. Pinoys had to repair and refurbish them on pinoys own costs.

In other words, Deterte knew very well, in the long run, pinoys will be dead duck. US was not willing to help pinoys to be a strong regional power. If PLA fights with pinoys soldiers over the Scs islands, US will never render direct help against the PLA. Deterte had to decide if he wants to make money on trade or become karan guni man.

If voters put Deterte s situation in light with little dot s negligible army power, voters should have proper conclusion. US only want to use the port facilities. US will not give F35 or modern gun boats or weapons for little dot to use. Pinoys are US s old ally. Who is little dot? Be very careful when voting for the team. NS men s lives are not regular soldiers to be used as regular paid soldiers. If they have no sons, do not think they will not have grand sons to go into SAF. Vote wisely and vote for smart chap like Deterte type, not the stupid yes yes type. They can be smart: deploying others sons and not their own in real battle fields. IsIs are deadly and cunning. SAF has no match with them. Bao si bao si when sent to middle east battle fields.
