Come on, Lets BASH Singapore!
First came the spat with Thailand, in regards to Thaksin visit to Singapore and had a unofficial meeting with DPM S.Jayakumar. Afterwhich, Thailand accused Singapore of spying on them through the telephone network. Then came with the controversial penalty, in which the Thai players walked off the pitch for 15mins.
Following up, old allegations from Johor's leaders that Singapore's land reclamation work is hurting them. It caused the massive floods in Johor, panic amongst their fisherman of losing their catch and Singapore's island is creeping closer each day. Never mind that in-depth studies have NEVER been commissioned by both sides and there is scarcely a grain of truth to the charges.
The finale blow, came from Indonesia, with their sudden annoucement of a ban export of sand to Singapore.
F**king Shitty BASTARDS!
Had Singapore not just sent a team from their air force to help in the search for a downed Indo plane? Had there not been a flurry of missions to indonesia, in wake of Tsunami and earthquakes? Had Singapore not help indonesia to tackle bird flue or develop special economic zones?
And with Johor's leaders "friendly remarks", I suggest Singaporeans to STAY away from Johor! One day, they might just suggest that we are invading their land!
Does the problem lies with Singapore hard headed approach to international relations? OR what I suspect is, whenever there is a crisis in these countries, their leaders often play the wild card of nationalism.
Think about it, isn't it easier to point a finger at that annoying successful know-it-all neighbor, rather than try to come out with answers to pressing questions.
Singapore's win at all cost mindset does not do Singapore any favor, because their neighbor's are more concern with saving face. And this is perhaps, Singapore unforgivable offence. Being richer and more successful than its neighbours, and not particularly apologetic about it.
Oh well, why should we?
