Singapore China relations – Open split?


The verbal war between Singapore and China does not seem to subside and Singapore is upping the ante with another article by Kwa Chong Guan belabouring the point that China has been pressuring Singapore and ‘to influence and shape the opinions and actions of Chinese Singaporeans’. In his article appearing in the Today paper on 14 Oct titled ‘China’s unrealistic expectations of overseas Chinese’, Kwa Chong Guan traced the history of Chinese involvement in the MCP’s fight for the independence of Malaya and Singapore and the subversive role in local trade unions and political movements of the past.
 

Kwa Chong Guan made it very clear that ‘the Straits born Chinese, who did not think of themselves as huaqiao and did not identify with China’ did not agree with the strategies of the MCP. He then went on to relate to the MCP activities of early Malaya and Singapore days culminating in the Non Aligned Movement spat as another of ‘China’s attempt to shape the opinions and interests of the Chinese community in Singapore about Chinese interests’. Kwa drew a clear distinction in the modern Singaporeans and the Singaporeans of yore, that the new Singaporeans have no special affinity to China like their forefathers.
The new Singaporean entrepreneurs investing in China did not go there because of the historical attachment to China but purely based on ‘hard business investment’.  They did their investments not depending on ‘guan xi’, in other words, Singaporeans are principled, abiding by international laws when doing business in China and would not want to be treated differently. Kwa also emphasized that ‘Singapore…has to stand firm against demands by the ancestral homelands of Singapore’s diverse ethnic communities for their loyalty.’
As Singapore keeps on harping on the Chinese govt making demands on Singapore on racial affinity, how would this affect Singapore’s relations and investments in China? Would the trips by Hsien Loong to the USA, Japan, India and Australia have anything to do with the open split between Singapore and China? Is Singapore telling China to lay off and Singapore has other alternatives to invest, in the US, Japan, India and Australia and Singapore and China can go their separate ways henceforth?
The regular display of unhappiness by Singapore seems to be an official position, no longer someone speaking on his personal capacity. And most of the speakers airing this dispute hailed from one school of thought, the Rajaratnam School of International Studies. The notables making tough and flamboyant speeches on the SCS and demanding China to respect the ‘UN backed’ Hague rulings all came from this School.
The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policies has been quite silent on this spat. Maybe they are dealing more with local policies and issues and not international matters.  With the tempo of this spat gaining strength, it would be interesting if Lee Kuan Yew is still around and whether he would be wearing his favourite Chinese jacket during important official functions with great pride. Or would he be returning to his suit and tie to show a change in policies to be less dependent on China and more cosiness with the West
 

Lee Kuan Yew was a straits born and every inch a baba. As he grew up he rejected the name Harry Lee given to him by his grandfather. He did not name Hsien Loong and Hsien Yang and Wei Ling with English names like Peter, Simon or Jane. He also sent them to Chinese schools. What did all these said of this straits born Chinese? He was not the banana that one encounters in the island. He was not the typical straits borns. The straits borns are not a homogenous group. There will be the bananas that think highly of everything western, there will be those that are proud of their ancient civilisation.
 

And how would those wanting to be friendly to China be belittled as unacceptable? Being friendly to China is not the same as being a traitor to Singapore, going against the interests of Singapore and Singaporeans. The New Zealanders, Australians and many white colonised countries did not feel ashamed to be pro America because they were whites. Why should straits born Chinese feel ashamed to be friendly to China if they did not compromise Singapore's interests?
 

This episode is really Singapore punching above its weight, taking on China head on, demanding China to obey The Hague rulings, to obey international laws,  to protect freedom of navigation and to be principled, as if China is doing and acting to the contrary. Needless to say, diplomatically, it is rubbing China up the wrong side and the open spat would not go away just because Singapore is punching above its weight.
 

Where would all this lead to in Sino Singapore relations?

These bananas think they are more Atas just because they speak Eng Kok better than others and been influenced by their decadent lifestyles.

Without those patriotic Chinamen who fought and died for you during those turbulent times, you MFs would be here today.

I was preparing to go to Marina Bay to shoot the fame Red Arrow flypast. Just before leaving I received a sms that it was postponed again due to inclement weather.

What nonsense, weather is fine as on Thursday. And for the whole morning I was searching for news on the flypast to go to a vantage point to shoot. Alas, no such info.

What have happened to the Brits? Can't even organise a simple event like a flypast?

What a disappointment. If they can't even provide info on where they are going to fly, how are they going to expect the spectators to be there?

rb you said "Why should straits born Chinese feel ashamed to be friendly to China if they did not compromise Singapore's interests"
I think you confuse the word Straits born Chinese with the more generic term local born Chinese. The term Straits born Chinese refer to babas and peranakans. This group of people are culturalised with the Malay sector, do not speak Chinese, and are generally not interested in being friendly to China because there is no link in language or culture. On the other hand Singapore local born Chinese are the descendents of China Immigrants of the 1950's and beyond,WHO CHOSE TO MAINTAIN THEIR CHINESENESS THROUGH CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC TIES. Their parents or grandparents have fond memories of China and marvel at the greatness of the civilisation of Chinese. They have pride in them generally, and this is the group which you correctly said would not feel ashamed to be friendly to china so long as it does not compromise Singapore interests.
The writer of the article which you referred to, is possibly a Baba peranakan, unlikely a descendant of Chinese immigrants of the 1950's who would be happy to be called a Chinese, with links to the Great Chinese Culture, minus the politics of communism.
In today's world, mainland China is mostly an economic machine, not so much an idealogical base which spreads communism and world dominion. It is a mistake to think along the lines of the USA that if china owns the spratly's they will block the shipping lanes and there is disaster and longsuffering to Asian states! There is ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT TO SINGAPORE if china take the spratly's, and the oil whatever. In fact Duterte didn't think much of it too and openly exposed the hypocrisy of Americans, the real power which likes to spread wars and tensions everywhere. Only foolish politicians will fall for this ruse. Lee Kuan Yew would not have allowed things to happen in this way.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Hi anon 11:49am, you are right in many ways.

As for the peranakans, if you go to their homes or visit the peranakan museum, you will find that they are quite high on Chinese cultures and practices, even pottery. They retained a lot of Chinese culture in their lifestyle but mixed with local culture.

Yes, their thinking could be different as they were the educated, rich and favoured group by the British governors and were the elites that were more familiar with British literature like Robert Browning, Shakespeare and the like.

While some are still clinging to this subculture, it would not be long before they become history.

Wait till China show the world on how it can peacefully tackle the Taiwan and HK issue. Somemore it is their own blood brothers.

Until then i have no doubts that it will want 100% control of everything in the area (including the rocks/sand and fishes under the sea) without discussion and negotiation.

It is all about who stands to benefits more to Singapore in an overall scenario. Can they take over the US/Europe MNC factories and jobs in Singapore? What are the types of Industries that China are willing to relocate to Singapore?

The Math is clear!

Unknown said...

The peranakans are surely but slowly being assimilated into the hua-xia chinese mainstream. This is because of the mother tongue policy, you have to study mandarin even if you are peranakan. It is a wise decision. For people growing up in the 80s i cannot distinguish between peranakan and hua xia. O

LKY was extremely wise about the degeneracy of western liberal values. During the 90s he argued for the superiority of Confucian values. Politicians nowdays have no clue.

Without threat from MCP, there are zero chance that British would grant independence to their colonies.

After WW2, France still refuse to give up their claim in Vietnam. Vietnamese people need to fight for independence against France and US.
Today, South Korea and North Korea are still divided , partly thank to unilateral act based Western geopolitical interests.

Korean people were not consulted over such partition.

After WW2, British quickly return to Malaya and Singapore to establish military rule to assert their authority over local people.
Soon, British portray those anti Japanese forces ( British ally in WW2) as new enemy as part of their divide and rule tactic.
In doing so, British can divert the anger of public to Communists.

The public must rely heavily on British to restore order and guarantee their safety. Such measure managed to reduce anti British sentiments after ww2.

Their public was taught to hate MCP - Communists more than European colonists.

It is a fact that Australian, New Zealander, British, Canadian is a keen follower of US foreign policy.

To anon@1224,
You have to understand that Taiwan is actually part of china, so is hongkong. There is nothing wrong with china taking back control. Honkong was ceded to the british after the opium war (a big shame, General Lin burned the british opium ships and after that british and etc., invaded and took hongkong by forceful "treaty"). Taiwan is renegade province of china when the corrupt Chiang regime escaped to taiwan andset base there, stealing tonnes and tonnes of money secretly there to finance operations). It is not posible for hkg and Taiwan to be recognised as independent country in the longterm..
Secondly you are living in the past, as if sg lifeline is the mnc jobs provided by americans. That's true in the 60's when sg labour was cheap and skilled so Texas Instruments, Fairchild, etc set up huge factories here to produce goods. Today,Only 25%of our gdp comes from factories manufacturing, mostly is in the services sector.
China today is a peace loving country, only the Americans can't stand it because the chinese industry is now better than American. So many positive innovations are coming out of china, the Americans are so jealous and afraid.

Exactly, what i am saying this is how they treat HK and Taiwan, their blood brothers. What will happen to the rest of Singaporean, Malaysian Chinese for eg.

Times have changed. Taiwanese and HK have their new gen of youth are full of eager of freedom. At least the freedom of choosing independently their leader and cannot blame anybody for their fate.

The reason why HK was lost was because of Qing govt weakness, only have to blame the china people themselves who obey like a dog. As for taiwan, who to blame when commies have no boats to challenge the US 7th fleet or no boats to cross the straits.... Now start to blame others.... You go to street to beg for food and you blame me or the govt .....

What you are citing are peanuts. What about FMC, GE vetco, PW, Schlumberger, Weatherford, Haliburton, Boeing, Rolls royce, MTU diesel, Cameron, Emerson?

To name only the few? You can google to find the address in Singapore. If these coys back out, you tell me what would happen to Singapore strategically? 1st you need to find out what these coy do and how they impact the global strategic technology business... Not steel or garment factory....

I challenge you here....unless you like a tortise who would back out.

Again What can China bring in? Just list some names. Bank of China? I cant even think much?

Also name a few China innovations to prove to us?

If west tech coy (who can resist cheap labor trend) back out. Do you think this 25 or whatever % can hold (go up or down) or our fate will be sealed like HK who is now relying mostly on service sector and have no choice but to accept their HK Chief EO be pre selected by China? Then 100 years later, cry father and cry mother and blame this, blame that same like you as their food and water supply is controlled?

Why do you think these western coys still cont to stay despite our cost is so high relative? A lot of countries are opened up liao. In theory, you earn more profit just by shifting your factory without doing much to your product.

For some time, we have acted blur to enjoy the best of both worlds. But same like the PR in Singapore who also enjoy the best of both world will start to face the music simply because it is the people's choice to say no via vote casting where China people have no chance to do so.

Contrary to what others think, I think it is the old man wish to retain manufacturing at all cost as simply service sector is too volatile and unreliable. The son is just following his father's view and i think it is the correct one.

Not too long ago, Singapore's position was threaten with the kra canal who now become the kra drain or dream....

Bingo!

Same like China but we are on smaller scale. Difference is one has the "support" of the population on paper, the other does not need one.

So if you are our leader, which leg would you hug given the cards all laid out especially when we know our innovation is zero ( we tried many times liao) and unlikely to progress in future terms? On the other hand, population is ageing and living longer, where to find more money?

Or do we bet on something that will provide us with 2nd tier technological jobs (at least something) (the other point is US also will never transfer their tier one product line to us) or we go with something cheaper and has not worked before yet? Even if China has something innovative , would they give us to manufacture?

You also mentioned that china mistreat hkg and Taiwan and will do same to sg. What nonsense. If china mistreat hkg, it would not hv a 1 country 2 systems for 50 years post 1997 handover! If china mistreat Taiwan, it would threaten war immediately to take by force. This shows the chinese are not warmongers like Americans who sell war thingies and stir suspicion between countries! Duterte see through this and start to support china!
China has transformed over the years and we must never think of them in the way we think of them in the 70's. If duterte can change, i am sure we can.

Easy one. Cpf. The more old people the better. When reach 55, ordinary account moved to RA, for 5 years cannot touch. What happen to the precious 5 years? Typically $100,000 each of 200,000 people is $20,000,000,000. Yes $20 billion dollars per cohort of people turning 55 is available for govet to play with for 10 years. They invest it and feed you small part of the dividends and call it "interest" during the 10 years. What huge money $20billion a year for ten years to play. When reach drawdown time 65 (changing goalposts), if y select Standard Plan they whack 100% of the RA, pay you $800 pm, but the bulk of the $20billion they continue to esrn huge dividends and you are losing out on all the interest if you select Standard plan.

It does not matter how much percentage of Sinkies are employed in foreign coys in Sg given the current conditions where we have a global economy. You dont want these coys to be around, many more behind queuing behind to receive these coys with red carpet. As long as these coys pay tax, rent office or factory space, rent these or rent that, need telephone/internet line, or medical screening, insurance coverage or banking facility. Even they provide opportunities for our food business, photo copying machines. All these will contribute to taxes and revenue. Even they charter buses to ferry workers also will help Sg.

I am still waiting for the tortise to answer the the question on which china coy can replace these western coys (i have not even included Jap coys yet). Will china give us some rice even if they have something innovative (100% china design with parts) to manufacture?

I mean i am not sure what your job is but to convince a panel or a decision maker for eg. whose leg to hug need to come out with a comprehensive report with all support data/appendixes to reach the conclusion. And i am sure they have done the checks.

Now things would be different if we have resources (eg. O&G) or better choice. Then i can tell you, all these problems will not be problems. And we would FO either side.

As for China way of treatment of HK and Taiwan.

I thought the same as you in the earlier days when HK was handover to HK.

What a mess now created in one country 2 systems when people enmass go to the streets. Never like that it was like that. What does HK people want? These people who goes to the streets never said that they dun want China or HK independence but they wanted the option to elect their leaders in a free open election even if it means electing a HK leader to represent HK and not a puppet. Anyway HK is punished in reduction of no. of china tourists to come to HK and threaten to cut water and fresh produce. There were also reports of PLA troops in HK put on standby.

When Malaysia threatened to cut sg water supply, Sg mobilized an armor brigade. Poor HK cannot do anything to protect themselves and young people have to resort to go to the streets.

In taiwans case, it has always threatened taiwan since commies take over. Poor taiwan cannot even wave its national flag. So many missiles are targeted and so on. I wont go into the details of how Taiwan (in a better position than HK) or US or allies come to help in crisis times or not. What ever it is Taiwanese people made the choice and every 5 years or so it may so change whatsoever.

Do you treat your blood brothers like that when there is a difference of opinions? The key is how you win the heart of these blood brothers who has same ancestral links?

The only reason why China will not take strong actions in HK or attack taiwan is for the fear of the region trade to go on a standstill. While the war results may not be conclusive as opposition forces may go guerila style. It is worried that without trade, how to account to its 1.4 billion population. 60% of GDP depends on trade now for China. Mao and Deng has nothing to worry as it simply means close door policy if anything goes wrong during those days.

Let me teach you something.

The thing is not about the results.

The thing is what are your options available and what decision you are going to make.

Without the army, we can only throw stones or spit saliva like the hongkies. The logic here is if you are going to kill us or made us kneel against the will. I will also make sure you suffer. Now with the cards laid out, do you want to take the risk? This is the old man poison shrimp theory which somehow works.

When Israel was attacked on all fronts by Arabs in 1973, everybody thought it is finished liao. What happen next? If Israel does not have conscript or mobilization concept in place, what do you think will be now? Palestinian can also throw stones.

Who is the childish one here?

Again you only think one sided of why china will not take action but what happens if the results will be the same when US decide to place 60% of navy in Asia. When you enemy starts to stir shit in this area, what would happen to Singapore's trade where so many coys are doing trade...

War monger or not. You same like everybody need to eat and so need to follow the rules of survival.
You know the enemy go stir shit (around china) with the intention of sucking money away (with or without war) and you still fall into the trap of officially offending your neighbors with such horrendous nine dash line that stretch to natuna? Irregardless of the outcome of the war, trade for the whole region will be affected and who will suffer most.

Isn't Kwa Chong Guan, nephew of Kwa Geok Choo, deceased wife of decessed LKY, a racist and a communalist?

What has happened to this tiny group of Straits-Born mixed-bred ancestral-cum-cultural bankrupt people?

First, they put a tag on Chinese Singaporean Voters as Racist. Then they pretended to use a scapegoat called Constitutional Commission for Review of Presidential Election to force all Chinese to accept a Minority President who cannot by his or her own capability be elected as President and needed unfair means through trumped-up legal means to get to the position of President of our Republic. Now they are showing their hands that they are the Masters of Singapore and they speak for all Chinese in Singapore. What ridiculous idiotic arguments!

The majority of Chinese Singaporeans of Chinese Descend will always look up to China as their Motherland, even up to today. This is a hidden feeling which can only arise when there is a serious crisis.

These conceited self-appointed Straits-Born people simply cannot and will not be able to phantom how the Real Chinese Singaporeans feel.

Kwa Chong Guan is selectively using a tiny part of History to spout his nonsensical arguments. The History of the Chinese People last 6,000 years.

And he is also beating a dead horse. Most of the younger generations of Chinese simply cannot associate what happened in the early years of Singapore's Independence.

Moreover, it was the majority of the Chinese British-Subjects who wanted an Independent Singapore from the British Colonial Masters, not the Secluded Self-Important Straits-Born. These Straits-Born merely wanted to lick the balls of the British Masters all the time, even until today, as can be seen through what Kwas Chong Guan wrote as well as the behaviour of Singapore's Leadership and his Foreign Ministers.

What will happen if there is going to be a show-down between China and Singapore? Which side will the Chinese Singaporeans take? Does Kwa Chong Guan really know the hearts and minds of the Chinese People in Singapore? I don't think so.

Oh ya hor?

The late Mr and Mrs Lee Kuan Yew (founding PM and couple of Independence Sg) both went to the creme de la creme institution in the sun never set Pax Brtiannica empire: Cambridge Uni.

Both of them sent the adolescent PM Lee and his younger brother (then) to one of the premier, top, creme de la creme Chinese schools in the former crown jewel of the British Empire (the Gilbraltar of the East): Catholic High School.

It was chronicled that once in his younger days, PM Lee fell into the sea near Pasir Panjang area and the late Mrs Lee plunged into the sea, risking her own life instinctively, to save her beloved son.

So for his education, for the late Mr and Mrs Lee to send PM Lee and his younger brother to Catholic High Sch likely means CHS must be damn GOOD lor?

Ai also want to send my offsprings to be educated in CHS if have chance lor

Hahaha. Taiwan part of China is an arrogant claim by China and supporters of China. Taiwan has its own history of aboriginal peoples. Time and time again Taiwan was used by refugees and renegades running away from mainland China. These renegades find a new home and China, too lazy to pursue them, claims Taiwan, which is the renegade's safe haven, as part of China! What a laugh!

Imagine there are Japanese renegades who run away from their motherland in Japan and fin safe havens in Macau, HK and Shenzen. Then the Japanese government claims Macau, HK and Shenzen as part of Japan. Ok, with China supporters here? If no, then know that Taiwan is not yours or China's.

Since human beings roam earth, there is no need to understand what is what.

Your fist bigger, you say more. Everywhere is the same. Even up till now, Who is there on earth to say who is right or wrong?

You can say whatever you want but at the end of the day, i will move in to take over whole of Johor within 72 hrs (as buffer zone). After that, same like Israel, we will talk about withdrawal from Sinai or Golan heights in exchange for something. In the process of partial withdrawal, whatever can plunder, take it back to Israel while "negotiations" take place.

In any case, what is international condemnation if we would still die without water. Either way also die.

Not to worry about what others say especially down here, Most are sick. Mine is considered mild case. You should see the others.

Are you so ignorant with what is happening? Muslims (especially the Arabs) says Israel does not exist. In fact, it existed only in 1948? with help of British.

So who there to say who is right or who is wrong?

The one who have the strongest military on earth in this case says it exist. So up till now it exists..... Not only that, itself has also built its army to be no.1 in middle east ever since.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

We have had quite a decent discussion in this thread. Both sides have their views but both supported by bits and pieces of events or history. The rise and fall of civilisation do not respect these little exceptions.

Some events like Taiwan claimed the China seat in the UN for more than 20 years until the US gave up the farce and acknowledged China as the country to represent China and there is only on China. The comparison of the minorities in Taiwan and the USA, one was originally a very small population while the other were terminated by the tens of millions in the worst genocide in the history of mankind. There were the anomalies of Tibet, Xinjiang, what about the anomalies of Canada, USA, Australia, NZ, how to make all these to make sense using one formula or explanation?

My point, we argue and take positions, but is any one view a superior or righteous view? Eventually it will come to the question of who are you and what is in your interests and well being in the long term.

70% of Sinkies resigned their fate. You must be the other 30% who think otherwise.

Sometimes you asked yourself why Sinkie chinese existed? Because their forefather got nothing better to do want to take boat cruise travel thousands of miles to come here for holiday? or simply come to find money or food? Which idiot would want to make this choice if not force to? Well i can also say they are traitors to motherland to come all the way to Sinkie to work in British Colony who use this as transhipment port to ship opium to sell back to motherland.

duterte is just another guy that wants to sell more bananas at higher price. Nothing else. You see base on his record, which country will believe him? He is not stupid, if he is. He would appease China by retracting pinoy claim on SCS especially on that Hague court case. He also like Singapore wants the best of both worlds. Do you know latest plan is for pinoy to develop its harbor to be a mid point hub for ships travelling to the US west coast via pacific ocean. How can it achieve this if it goes for russia and china?

Again if we need to eat,drink, sleep as a human being (mortal), we are in no position to say who is right or wrong.

Of course taiwan belong to china. When chiang fled china during those days he smuggled off HUGE quantities of gold and precious antiques to taiwan. That was how he was able to hold the fort, not forgetting american aid. Money talks. The starting seed money which allowed taiwan to grow is come from china people. The prc communists suffered a great deal butbthrough sheer determination and unfortunately ruthless leadership, they managed to survive and build china into a respectable place today. Why is no one recognizing this unjust defence of taiwan and continued condemnation of china as evil???? American foreign policy is the source of all evil. Singaporean hv zero knowledge of history so they make naive comments. History is very important to understand Evil and Good.

RB, are you saying that because the Taiwan aborigines have a small population, the Chinese can screw them, while because the native Americans had a larger population, you can screw the Americans? Where is the logic? It is NOT OK for both China and US. I cannot understand why whenever an issue is brought up against China, China supporters will always, without fail, say that there is a bigger devil in America. Congrats, so you admit that you are also supporting a devil (China), albeit a smaller one!

As for Tibet, Xinjiang, again the “let's bring up the devil of the West” so that we can detract the devil in China argument is brought up! See how China supporters try to worm their way out, but in the mean time unwittingly admit China's guilt?

So the question of who are you and what is your interest, as what you put up. So what is RB's interest in defending China all the way? He has intention to migrate to China and fight to his death should war break out in the region? My interest and concern is that among us Sinkies, there are China supporters who are more filial to China than Singapore! That should be a legit concern, shouldn't it?

Anon 12 pm, you mean to say that because huge amounts of resources was stolen from China and brought into Taiwan, it gives China the right to claim Taiwan as their own? Careful now. Indo corrupt bzmen brought tons of money into Singapore. What now? Willing to say Indo has a right to claim Singapore as part of Indo? See the ridiculous argument China supporters are willing to cook in order to support China?

Again, note the US bashing that you followed up with. Like any other China supporter, you just have to bring up this “angmor man is more evil than China” argument to detract that China is also another devil.

What's with all this Chinophile stuff? I rather see such sinkies give up their passport and migrate to China. Why use up our scarce resource and live off citizens' taxes, only to support another country, even when your own county (Singapore) has a dispute with China?

The KMT SLOGAN is just words to stir up anti communist feelings. It has no bearings on the legality of Generalissimo Chiangs plundering of the gold reaserves of china banks, much of which was shipped secretly to taiwan during those years. Chiang govt has a long history of association with Americans and his riches are tied up with american interests in his family and extended family (Soong) in USA.
The communist style may not be the ideal style of government. BUT ONE must gracefully learn to separate politics from facts. Taiwan and hkg is china. Hkg and twn,simply dont like it because of the system of prc's one party politics,(which fortunately has improved tremendously between 1949 to 2016). But that is not an argument.Here is an analogy. Hitler has a son who became a rich businessman in California. One day hitler ask his son to come back to him as he is ill. Can his son say no, i disown you, you are not my father because you are so nasty. Unfortunately the son does not know what he is saying. He cannot change history.

What is wrong for KMT govt to take the gold which at them time belong to the legit govt?

Even you go ICJ, also no case.

You see you know nothing about modern china history. The KMT slogan is to consolidate the KMT presence in Taiwan as the legit govt for China. Without such slogan, the whole KMT will collapse as it no longer hold any relevance as far as China is concerned. Even now this thing haunts KMT and DPP is making use of this to the max.

Do you know who is the fore father of KMT? What is this guy relevance in Commie history?

Your analogy is correct provided Hitler is not the step father or this son is the legit son. Now in HK and Taiwan case, both are saying let me choose my way of life as i have grown up. The more you tighten the grip, the more i rebel. At the end of the day, you force me to kneel. I make sure everybody in the whole neighborhood know that you ill treat and abuse your son and i need social service to protect son from father abuse.... You want me to come back, you talk nicely.

Secondly, they are rich Indonesia businessman. It does not meant that they are corrupt. Corruption only exist because the govt encourage such practice. Many ordinary people are forced to give bribe.

Thirdly, these Indonesian people follow Singapore law and international norm when they put their money into Singapore. This is a legal transaction.

Most importantly, they are refugees because Indonesia persecuted and discriminated against them. They did not fled Indonesia because they commit crime.

Let us look at the ridiculous arguments of the China lackey supporters (CLS).

CLS: “Taiwan chiang stole gold from china banks to build a renegade army and as well some for himself no doubt.”

Reply: Well if that gold is so important, why didn’t China go after the renegades? Why so lazy, sit back and relax, then say to the world, “Hey, Taiwan is ours because our crooks landed there”?

CLS: “you cannot say that Singapore has dispute with China because you cannot assume that most people in Singapore agree to the postion of Dictator here”

Reply: Sg has dispute with China not bcos we agree with PAP. Sg has dispute because our gahmen disagrees with China gahmen. But China supporters in Sinkieland are now supporting China. Why so traitor one?

CLS: “Chinese are also native in Taiwan. They and aboriginal people share same status.”

Reply: So bloody what? How does that make Taiwan part of China? But actually you are not totally right. Taiwanese aborigines have a different culture, language and customs. This is the funny part. China supporters claim this society and that society is Chinese. Tibet is Chinese, Uighur is Chinese, Taiwan native is Chinese blah, blah, blah. Then why all speak different language and have different customs. So China supporters say Chinese has many ethnic and different cultures. Good. So when Peranakans practice different culture, China supporters scream “Banana! Chap Cheng!”!

Hahahahaa. China supporters are so fickle. Suka suka want to make everyone Chinese but cannot accept that when they are different. The real reason they claim everyone Chinese is because they want to steal other people’s lands.

CLS: “Those money does not belongs to Indonesia govt.
Indonesia businessmen created those wealth with their own hardwork.”

Reply: You are bloody wrong. Very, very wrong. Those are corrupt money taken from Indo govt. Sg harbours and launders those funds. That is why pres of Indo now makes it that if these corrupt people declare and bring money back to Indo, they will have to pay only small tax and be forgiven for their tax evasion. Didn’t you know MAS and Sg gahmen panicked after that because tons of money now flowing out of Sinkie back to Indo?

Here is the conclusion. It is a farce when China claims Taiwan is theirs. China made no attempt to go after the renegades who fled to Taiwan. Like I mentioned, imagine a group of Jap renegades running from Japan and settle down in HK, Macau and Shenzen. These renegades then call Macau, HK and Shenzen Republic of Japan, which no one recognises accept US. Meanwhile Japan makes no attempt to go after these renegades. Later, Japan says Macau, HK and Shenzen part of Japan. Can accept or not?

It just so happened that Taiwan economy grew and now China wants that delicious cake baked by the hardworking Taiwanese, unlike the fat lazy pigs in the CCP.

This Indo argument is a side issue. It was brought up by another anon to justify why China had a right to claim Taiwan, which is the renegades ran away with gold into the island. My rebuttal was that if that is the case, Indo can claim Sing is part of Indo because corrupt guys ran away with Indo's billions into Sing.

Now no matter how much we argue about Indo, it doesn't change the fact that China did not make any effort to pursue the renegades into Taiwan. Yet today, they want to claim Taiwan is theirs!

So what if Indo bully Sing? It has nothing to do with China making a farcical claim on Taiwan. Btw, the sand band was a REACTION to Sing's refusal to extradite the corrupt Indonesians to Indo, as well as the refusal to return the corrupt money to them. George Yeo argued why that should be so in parliament! Could hardly call the sand ban bullying when it was Sing who's protecting these wanted criminals and keeping the ill money too!

In taiwan case, the original inhabitants were racially more Philippine or malay stock races. Techincally Taiwan belong to Philippine or even malaysia! However in 17th century many Han chinese arrived in taiwan and soon became the majority race, the original pple there became 2nd class aborigines!
Because of the principal mentioned in para 1, Taiwan became part of which ever party that rules the Han race, since the aborigines made no resistance, and neither were they brutally massacred like American red indians. Therefore because political power of Han chinese of mainland are fully recognised recognised in UN as PRC since 4 years after Generalissimo died,in 1971, it is a legitimate claim of course that taiwan is part of china mainland. If you disagree, then you would have to conclude that taiwan belong to Philippine and malaysia. Very simple.

If those people commit crime in Indones - taking corruption, why didnt Indonesia send share evidence with Singapore govt? Indonesia refuse to do so.

Let say China is making a farcial claim on Taiwan. It has nothing to do with Singapore.

Could hardly call those rich Indonesia man as "corrupted indonesian ." when they did not break any law. They are not former Indonesia official. They did not steal those money from govt funds.

Technically, they come from Taiwan. Taiwanese could claim Philippine and rest of Southeast Asian region as theirs.

or we can conclude that they are " illegal" immigrant from Taiwan to Southeast Asian.

Money laundering is illegal in Singapore. Correct. But it happens very often in Singapore! Is 1MDB money dirty? Yes? But it is in Singapore! ?????? How the heck did it get in? In Singapore, if large amounts of money comes in, banks must do due diligence including alerting MAS. So what exactly happened? Did the banks just quietly accepted it? Did MAS after being alerted OKed it? To all those who still believe Sing is as white and the bottom half of our national flag, explain the above.

As for corrupt Indo funds, G Yeo argued in parliament why we should not repatriate the corrupt Indo citizens back to Indo. Which also meant that we were not going to return that corrupt money back to Indo. His argument is that... we have no extradition treaty with Indo. Ha ha ha. So you mean you then can allow these criminals refuge on our shores? You mean you then can keep that dirty money in our shores? Hey, but money laundering is illegal! Yet, yet, yet....... BG Yeo argued as if it was legal! ????

Come off it lah. America portrays itself as white as angel. China as well. Sing as well. Then we all laugh at the corrupt practices of our neighbours. But when it comes to the real deal, we are just as corrupt.

As for why bzmen keep money in Sg, it is more than just stability. Sg has a non-transparent policy that any crook loves to have. Keep your money safe safe from your country's gahmen IRA so no need to declare tax mah. Even America and Euro are fuming with our non-transparency. Not that they are angels btw. It is because they lose money on taxes lah - and PAP gahmen get to keep it lah. That's why they cowpeh. You angry or not if your neighbour hide your money and dowan to give back to you? Same for America, Euro and Indo lah!

Come on. Know your facts.

Are you a traitor now? because you support Indonesia govt. You hate Singapore govt.

Would you give up Singapore passports and migrate there ? You see yourself as " ethnic " bla bla....

Pleas apply same standard to yourself. Practice what you preach ( you set those standard)

Anonymous said...

11.01, the reason for Sg refusal to repatriate the corrupt guys to Indo is not that Indo did not give evidence. The reason sited by SG govt, after BG Yeo yakked in parliament is...... we have no extradition treaty with Indo. Tada! So we get to give these criminals refuge and at the same time the criminals give us their dirty money to keep! Tada!

Don't be naive lah.

Anon 1115 idiot, stop using emotional word like traitor. Indonesia has a right to create amnesty rule to reclaimed laundered money park in Singapore banks. As a loyal Singaporean i also do not oppose such reasonable action of Indonesian . I am not a traitor. A traitor is someone who does harm to his own country for personal gain. Go back to school you foolish man.

those money is not dirty. The money comes from legal sources. Those people did not break any law.

These people are not former Indonesia official.
Thus, they did not steal those money from Govt funds.

Anonymous said...

11.22, don't try to sneak your way out. There two types of money from Indo to Sg. One, the honest one. Two, the dishonest one. You bloody know that I mean the second one, so don't fark with me pretending you mean the first one.

Unless of course you support dirty money but pretend to be white.

Singapore has a right to reject Indonesia request because there are no extradition between two nation.

Singapore have absolute reason to believe that those charge is politically motivated.

Indonesia fail to prove beyond reasonable doubt that those money is illegal . Indonesia dont share those evidence with Singapore.

Singapore is a tiny nation. Singapore cant say No to Indonesia?

Anonymous said...

11.25. What is the dirty money? please explain

How do you distinguish between a clean money and dirty money without any evidences?

Anonymous said...

If those people are former Indonesia official or the relative/family/ wife of Indonesia official,

Arguably,those money could been illegal- they are corrupt. They stole money from govt.

However, it dont apply in this case.

Anonymous said...

Indo give no evidence? Says who? You? The OFFICIAL REASON GIVEN by Sg parliament is NO EXTRADITION TREATY, NOT....I REPEAT.... NOT NO EVIDENCE!

Pleeeze, stop constructing non-facts and presenting them as facts.

Agreed. Sg has right not to extradite the criminals because there is no such treaty.

But you mean we can be complicit in criminal activity by giving them safe haven and holding their dirty money?

But, but, but we have a law against laundering!

So we break no law with Indo by not extraditing the criminals.

But we break our OWN LAW pertaining to laundering because we ARE laundering.

Indo fund is not just the only one.

What about 1MDB?

What about all the other funds US and Euro are complaining about?

Come on. I support our gahmen. But not whent it is complicit in immoral activities, including breaking its own law on laundering.

I cannot fathom how some can blindly say that it is because Indonesia did not produce evidence, that's why Singapore did not extradite them, when Singapore government itself never made that claim. Let us look closely at the official reason by the Singapore government - ie no extradition treaty.

Now, if truly Singapore was not convinced with the claim they are criminals, why even talk about extradition treaty? The argument there is no such treaty would only come when there is criminal evidence and you tell Indonesia you don't want to repatriate them because you have no treaty. But if truly there is no evidence, why the need to cite the lack of such treaty? Just say no evidence. But the official reason is no treaty!

Blind commentators who cannot think. Please relook your position.

This could only happen in authoritarian or dictatorship nation. They dont enjoy rule of law and independent judiciary.

They abused the law to suppress own dissident. They jailed political enemy.

If Singapore does that, Singapore would not become financial center in the East.Foreign investors wont park their money in Singapore.

Anonymous said...

Singapore is the choice of money launderers from many countries. What makes Singapore so attractive is that you can park your money in Singapore from the prying eyes of your own respective governments to avoid paying tax. This amount is HUGE, which runs in the billions.

Many first world country promote themselves as a "safe financial centre". But that is the irony. While 'safe' to the layman means safekeeping, 'safe' to the rich corrupt tax evaders means safe from the eyes of the IRA.

Lastly, 'safe' to the money launderers means safe enough to be used as legal money after being laundered.

Don't anyhow blindly believe the story of first world nations.

Singapore is a very clean country cos it is run by incorruptible Rulers. This is NOT just the Claim of the Sin Rulers and some Sinkies themselves, it is often cited by leaders and celebrities of other nations, including those adek beradeks from Indonesia and Malaysia.
One Ex Indonesian Female President is a frequent visitor to Sin. lt goes to show how good Indo and Sin relationship is.

Sinkies must be proud that when Sin Rulers visit Indonesia, they are receive with the Highest Respect.

The Rule of Law and the lncorruptible Sin Rulers are World Renowned and have stand the test of time; at least up to now.

Sinkies are in good hands.
