Which is why any opposition group in whatever form, providing aid in whichever form, must be made to disclose its source of funding. Governments everywhere knows what to do with funding for terrorist activities but never make any serious effort to rein in those NGOs fermenting the same activity of creating chaos when the time arrives. But NGOs are smart and insert themselves in help groups, religious entities and innocent sounding Samaritan establishments, making it difficult to sound them out.
We can see why there is so much opposition in Thailand trying to enact a law to force NGOs to disclose their source of funding that will reveal who is behind all the protests and who are pulling the strings. Of course, no trail will ever lead to the main culprit, but the funding source will tell us who they are working for. NED is funded by the USA Government and many billionaire elites like George Soros. If the trail leads to NED, it means USA Government involvement and means interference in the internal affairs of nations.

Lee Kuan Yew had known long ago about foreign interference in Singapore's internal affairs, even when he was in power, and there was a law enacted to forbid political parties from accepting donations from foreign sources. There is no such thing as someone giving free lunches for nothing in return.
But of course, foreign funding can also be diverted indirectly through other sources and therefore any funding of political parties has to be clearly declared and scrutinized. This is to prevent backdoor subterfuge.
Then there are the problematic NGOs working the ground in Singapore, embedded in charity organizations, help groups and religious entities that must be carefully scrutinized financially. That backdoor must also be watched very carefully.
Over the decades there have been criticisms about lack of freedoms in Singapore by groups like human rights, freedom house and Western Governments, meaning that Singapore has not given these foreign funds the opportunity to destabilize the country. Good or bad is up to us to decide for ourselves, not for others to decide for us.
