With Malaysia making a more militant stand against the
USA and the West over Palestine, I doubt Wong will dare to take the risk
of openly taking sides between the USA against China. Being pro-USA is
acceptable, but more than that is suicidal, especially with regard to
China.
With Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world,
surrounding Red Dot in the south, Red Dot will be in serious trouble if
it does that. As one who lived through the days of Confrontation
between Indonesia and Malaysia, I think it is foolhardy to want to live
through Confrontation Version 2.
Muslims in this region are no
pushovers despite being militarily perceived as weaker. Even Lee Kuan
Yew had to give way in some quarters, despite being the country touted
as having the most sophisticated defense force and most updated military
equipment in ASEAN. Just a blockade of the Straits of Malacca, like the
Houthis did in the Persian Gulf will strangle Red Dot. The talk of
building the Kra Canal is already giving Red Dot the shakes. Will the
USA dare to fight another war over here?

ReplyDeleteBeing pro-USA is unwise and bad enough but to echo and follow US to speak ill of other countries and to demonize the muslims, Palestine, Iran, Iraq and other countries is to follow a suicidal to self-destruction.

ReplyDeleteOur local mass media the newspapers and electronic airwaves or micro waves broadcasts are guilty in following American mass media to generate negative stories about China and other non-Western countries. Many local reporters and jornalists may likely be in the paybook of CIA. They will eventually have to pay a price for their sinful evil acts in collaborating with US to disparage and demonize other countries like Palestine, Iran, Iraq, China and others.

ReplyDeleteThat is why our local MSM have lost their hold on people interested in real news, in terms of viewership and readership.
ReplyDeleteThose people interested in real news can easily find them on social media, if they are able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Local reporters have been made to write about food, dresses, hawkers, pets and poos. Who wants to pay to read these stuffs?
