Shangri La Dialogue – What’s new?

The Shangri La Dialogue came to a close after a two day session where the Americans set the agenda for the blind and daft to say aye aye. In yesterday’s media, Eng Hen gave a summary of the main issues of the Dialogue and as I asked, what’s new, he literally repeated the American agenda that North Korea and terrorism are the clear and present danger to the region. The big question, how many Asian countries feel threatened by the North Koreans or believe in this threat? The other big question is that how come none of the Asian countries could come out with alternative agenda on what are really important to the region and question the American slime that North Korea is a threat to the region? All happy and clueless coming to Singapore to have a holiday and to listen to the preaching of the Empire?

When Eng Hen repeated what Mattis said, does it mean that he or Singapore agrees with the American myth? It is difficult for Asians to think differently especially when the white man is from the most powerful country in the world and what he said must be right or at least not to be questioned. Or was Eng Hen just behaving like a gracious host, not to offend the most powerful nation in the world, Singapore’s staunchest backer in international affairs, and just has to repeat what the American said? Or is it due to the lack of an Asian view, an Asian agenda, that the rest of the Asian delegates were there making empty noises or talking nonsense or making no noise at all, so there is nothing to talk about other than the American agenda? Yes, what is new other then allowing the Americans to come all the way across the Pacific Ocean to tell the daft what is their problem and that the daft did not know.

Ok, to be fair to Eng Hen, I think he just gave lip service to Mattis by mentioning North Korea in passing while his main speech was all about terrorism which is the real threat to the region.  His only mention of North Korea was in one sentence, if the media is quoting his full speech, and the rest of his address was all about terrorism. Can the daft see and understand the difference in saying something and let it pass as irrelevant and then concentrate on the real issue, ie terrorism?

Who cares about North Korea other than the Americans and those that were stirring the hornet’s nest? If no Asian country is taking a pole to poke at the North Koreans, the North Koreans would not be bothered with the country’s existence. The real threat to the region other than terrorism is from the world’s Number One Terrorist, the Americans and their provocation and agitation for war in the region. The Americans are still behaving like the rogues from Europe that raped the whole world in the colonial days, believing in might is right. Remove this monster and there will be peace and stability with only the smaller terrorist threat to deal with.

Get the picture? The Number One Terrorist is pointing the fingers at the North Koreans and others and all the daft forgot to look at the Number One Terrorist as the real threat. They just divert the attention to something else and the daft just look at where the Number One Terrorist is pointing to. When would the daft open their eyes to see the real terrorist in the region, in the whole world?

Stupidity has no cure.

You asked "how many Asian countries feel threatened by North Korea..", with an innuendo that the answer is "none".
Sorry you salah liao. South Korea DOES feel threatened. South Korea IS AN ASIAN COUNTRY. South korea was invaded by Kim's army, and till today there is friction between the divide, because technically they are at war (civil war). Border skirmishes at the DMZ till today still exist if i am not wrong.
The Americans go to the OPPOSITE extreme, persuading listeners that ALL Asian countries are worried that NK will attack them.
Let us FORGET about this beast called USA for a moment, and ask ourselves, if NK attack Seoul, what should we fellow asians do?

The Shangrila Dialogue is like a platform for the Americans to come here and tell the Asians that they are the masters and they will tell the Asians who is their enemy and who is their friend and the Asians must just obey.

The Americans must reward Singapore handsomely for such an opportunity to stamp their lordship over the Asians, eagerly listening to the white gods like mindless little boys and girls.

Is NK a threat or UAss is a threat & clear n present danger? Or is Sinkyland a threat to China or vice versa? Or is Terriosts a threat or the white Great Empire?
All of the above seems difficult to answer. One thing for sure is the poisonous minds of human beans that ignited tis sparks of killings, whoever started it first is a threat n clear n present danger to mankind.

North Korea is certainly not a threat to South-East Asian nations.

In fact, NOrth Korea want to be very friendly with ASEAN, and if not for U.S. instigation, trade ties between ASEAN and North Korea would have been at very healthy levels, with many tourists from ASEAN visiting North Korea and benefiting the livelihood of beleaguered North Koreans . . .

I do not know the answer to your question. But the problem does not end by throwing the question back at me. The BIG question is, should asian countries sit back and watch and do nothing if nk restart its civil war and hit Seoul? Maybe yes, we just sit back and watch samsung, LG , Kpop, all the nice south Korean inventions burn up as nk attacks and implement its own style of governance in sk. That is a very Singaporean way, you de your busines, seoul is too far away, nothing to do with me. Kotea civil war, just treat it like one timbuktu fight another timbukti in africa, who cares. You tell me is this the way. I also have no idea. All i am saying is redbean is wrong to say that No other asuan country worry about nk military escalations. Read his articles with a pinch of salt.

Aiyo, Eng Hen is Sinkie Defence Minister mah, so he must surely know what he is saying or repeating, tio bo?

And being Defence Minister, definitely he knows more than what you and I know what.

Hence you and I are in no position to say whether it is even a American myth or not in the first place, let alone whether Eng Hen agrees with it.

May i remind you, mr kim chopped off the head of his uncle in 2014. The atrocities carried out against dissidents are well documented. Even discounting the west media exaggeration of some incidents, there is no doubt that it is not a play-pkay regime in nk. If you so happy with nk, try living near the DMZ. There is very unsafe feeling. You are so safe in Singapore you are blind to the evilness everywhere,not just USA.

Anonymous said...

Eng Hen is smart lah. If not smart, how to become Defence Minister?

Anyway, anyone who can become Minister is definitely smart.

But a smart person not necessary will become Minister.

And a smart person, not being a Minister or expert, will also not want to make judgement on something which is not his job, or an expert in it.

Breast surgeon income not fixed one, u know. Depends very much on how many women got breast cancer in a year and also go to consult him. Eng Hen not the only breast surgeon.

Whereas minister income is millions, every year, and fixed one. Only the bonuses is not fixed depending on GDP growth, and also whether can still be MP.

So if you were Eng Hen, which you prefer to be, minister or breast surgeon?

No wonder rb said stupidty has no cure, there are people here believing that anybody who hate American imperialism must naturally support north korea, and vindicate the "peace loving" kim regime. At best it is a question mark. Nobody really understand mr kim. Let me make it clear, the American issue on SCS is COMPLETELY WRONG, LHL IS FACTUALLY WRONG TO SUPPORT OF AMERICAN STAND ON CHINA RIGHTS OF SOVEREIGNTY LAND IN SCS. DO not think even one bit i support America agressive military deployment in scs.
However do understand I BEG YOU, use the little brain of yours to research the korean war, as well as try to read the north korean view of south korea, evaluate will they attack like in 1950s invasion, never forget the north Korea war and so many koreans died.

Mr Tan's Herb Garden
------------------------

It grew in popularity, though, and Tan wrote that the RC became concerned that there were legal implications to giving out unlicensed herbs for usage — because what if, for instance, someone complained about side effects from them? — and they did not want to be liable for these issues.

These concerns were based on “imaginary and unfounded” fears, wrote Tan, but nonetheless gave rise to conditions including:

– People who are not living in the Nanyang area were not allowed to volunteer with Tan’s garden; and
– Parts of the herb garden — the precise space of which were to be determined by the RC — were to be converted for other uses.

Please dun ask the Creative Boss to get out of Sinkieland. If he does, many Sinkies or Local bosses will lose hope in Sinkieland & even migrate to overseas ( already there r many Sinkies living, study & working in foreign land). The Creative Boss is a good guy, very patriotic & in the mid 2000s even invited elderlies to his company to watch the National Day Parade in a big screen outside his company, now no more doing that, perhaps rent to tenants due to cost pressures. Despite the elevating costs, this creative boss still fights on coming out with new products ( a bigger version of sound systems cater to the audiophile niche market)..his fighting spirits r something that all can learn from him..

Indeed so. Singaporeans who are so inward looking, forever going round in circle critising Pap and Usa (which deserve to be criticised by the way) who have zero knowledge of world history, should not at all comment in the issue of North Korea's regime. It is really stupid to believe everything chinleng implied as to the goodness and peaceloving nature of mr kim.
The issue of mr kim is totally different frim south china sea fracas. Mr kim is unoredictable and has lost even his staunch allies china and Russia to a large extent. Do not opely put yourself on side of someone whom you have little knowledge of. If you hv nothing to say, keep your silence, you are smarter that way.

You are totally hopelessly indoctrinated perhaps by chinleng that America is evil hence Mr kim is good. You deny fact and obviously dont read from multiple news sources. The execution of mr kim's uncle in 2014 was reported ny North Korea national news, it is NOT usa cnn fake news.
It seems you swallow everything your "uncle" redbean writes concerning NK. I wrote somewhere that kim sent the missile tests to japan waters. Nobody comment on this, someone said it was fake news. I dont think so. To test long range missile you must Set target test at long range. DUH.
Chin leng is just analyst with good brains, but not 100% of his writings are truth.
Regarding the massacre in london you allege is done by britain agents, the circumstantial evidence does not support your claim, based on similar accidents consistent with ISIS Claims and their modus operandi.
Sep11 attack in USA, indeed circumstantial evidence abound that the CIA conducted the horror, maybe its true. Not impossible USA did it.
MH370 disappearance, no doubt it is CIA of usa that is involved.
The murder of jong nam... it is ALSO possible that the Americans did it CIA again.
The list goes on and on, gadafi, sadam hussein, assad, made to look evil by USA.

However with Kim the story is different. Kim is a threat only to south korea, because they are still at war. Kim is no threat to SEAsia of course. Kim is unpredictable, he killed his uncle, and executed a few other old guards. Why do you insist to say that he would never attack seoul across the DMZ? Because your idol chinleng implicated so, because USA IS BAD,?? In truth, there is no correlation. Use your brain and desist from personal attack and please read some world history and politics before you do anything elsr.

If North Korea attacks South Korea, wha does the SEA Nations or for that matter, the rest of Asia do? ?

That's between the two of them. If they have their war to settle whether the whole of Korea is under Kim or under Moon.

Vietnam War in 65 and they are so near to us. What's Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Malalysia and Singapore do??

When the war ended and the meddling Americans ran.with their tails behind them, does the whole of SEA is over run by the North Vietnamese? ?

That's clearly answered your question.

Just be neutral and if Sinkieland leaders were not to Kay Kiang and keep their CB mouths shut then you also dont have to worry so much of attended bags in MRT and baking powder on the floors.

Also no six hours unnecessarily jams at checkpoints and what's nonsense stupid out of date rules of even fearing mineral water and shampoo and small little foldable scissors and syringe needles.

How the Koreans become united is for the Koreans to settle.
Whatever means used is beside the Point.
lf Koreas becomes One United Country liked Germany and Vietnam, it deserves congratulations.
Sinkies should rejoy for them too.

For Sinkies; it is time to worry about yourself.
The Divide between the 30 against the 70 can get ugly as more are driven towards the Cliff.
物极必反 Extremity begets extreme response. Every action is follow by reaction(s). There is consequence to every deed.

No matter what, Sin can and will be engineered for the Elites which comprise about 30% of the Population.
Expect 5 to 15 % of these elites to join the 30 % in the Next 10 years whilst the 30 % mentioned earlier falls deeper into the Cracks and are desperate in 10 years time. There shall be trouble. And when there is trouble, situation shall get bad and things will turn ugly for most.

No one wants trouble, but when push turns to shove, then anything goes.

The Situation as it is, is far from good for Sin. lt shall surprise no one if others isolate or leave this tiny barren rock to its' own fate.
As the Region develops and forges ahead, Sin is becoming less significant in tge Region and is most likely to be eclipsed by the Neighbouring Countries, if not totally becoming redundant.

Pray that no man-make or natural disaster hits us, though l suspect the Hot Weather may not be favourable for the Tiny Dot.
