Agree absolutely. It is not as if China and Taiwan lack academics that are better and more knowledgeble than him. He over estimated himself! What are his achievements for SG other than for himself.
America calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question... Instances of the United States "liberated" or overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War.

Dear maternal Yang Cousin George, China already successfully hybrided Durians in Yunnan, same climatic Monsoon zone with SEAsia, soon will expand to other similar climatic regions in China. With superspeed railways, durians can be sent throughout China, former Soviet Khanates and esp Mongolians may get to eat China durians soon and no longer need to fly to SG to feast in Geylang vs. cheaper MY due Altantuya's disappearance...... Maotai flavoured-durians & liquers akin to French Benedictine for ladies in the pipelines..... Malaysians may get to eat cheapo durians once China's imports minumises, hopefully soonest because current prices, eventhough in Rgt is obscene if not outrageous.
it's a lost cause. I tried to make my westerner friends understand, but they can't get past the good vs evil narrative that they're used to. from my understanding, it's not really about china as it is about themselves. western culture needs an enemy. even today, their way of thinking is still deeply rooted in christianity, which teaches people that they're the chosen one and they must defeat "evil". therefore, they need someone to play the "evil" side. throughout their history, they always had a mortal enemy. without it, they would start fighting amongst themselves.
All those are approved from sg gov, where can’t say out from the gov, he is the best candidate, he definitely don’t have the balls to criticise/advice other countries on his own.
It's ironic he said SEA doesn't choose side between great powers, his country has a US naval base, gets to buy F35, no Huawei 5G, no TikTok on govt device.....
You hear him talk, he talked about US dollar. When he was ministers for 20+ years with 4 ministries, why didn’t he trade with China using RMB? Why didn’t he buy China fighter jets, but buy from the US. The guy talk only!
@@neway518what a joke, this is Singapore, we are pragmatic and also will try to get the best, at that time, which aircraft is the best in the world? who can protect us the best? who are the best customers we have? mostly Americans then, so make a lot of sense to have Americans to protect us, give all our American customers the most confidence. so, it is no accident that Singapore becomes the financial center of the east, Hong Kong will never be it but because Hong Kong is the gateway to China, they will be bigger than Singapore anytime. still, who dare to keep money there? even the rich Chinese will park their money outside of Hong Kong, not because China is bad but because chine is not a pure capitalist economy, it is a socialist economic where the government do not hesitate to rob the rich to give to the poor. so those with too much money must lay low and hide their wealth which is a hard thing to do in China or Hong Kong. Now, due to the decoupling, the entire world is experiencing a shift. no surprise there, already in the telecom field, who is the best? so, we use Huawei even though they are supposed to be "evil". how about this: if even the Americans are so afraid that they have to lie and target a company. that company must be the best. so, it was proven.
Relax, Singapore need US alliance to survive. China won’t mind it. China knows, when it two has 12 CSG in fleets, 5000 Nuclear warheads, then, SG will trade in RMB, SG will no longer have to buy F35 nor tolerate US military base.
Firstly, Singapore doesn't have a US naval base, but offers support and maintenance services to any friendly visiting navy - including China. Singapore does military exercises with both the US and China. Please do your research before you comment. Singapore would be stupid just to listen to you and become anti-US overnight, will you defend Singapore if we are being attacked economically and/or militarily? If not, please do not act like you have higher intelligence than us. 2ndly, Singapore doesn't ban Huawei products or its 5G technology. Huawei internal leadership knew our situation and didn't make a storm out of it. Whatever we do it's always national interest that comes before anything else, Singapore will not do anything just to please pro-China camps. LKY once said: keep your friends close to you but keep your enemy closer. This is how we survive as a very small country without any natural resources, many pro-China people will not understand because they see things from their perspective.
Singapore has been closed to US since inception because Singapore is a small country with many dangerous neighbours. In the 60-70s Indonesia is a dangerous neighbour which has an ambition to form a country by conquering Malaysia and Singapore. And Singapore is vary of Malaysia in the 80s. So Singapore established close relationship with US and western countries for security reason. Of course at those period, western countries especially US controlled the world market too. So that relationship was born out of necessity. But the world has changed. So let's see where that goes. As for weapons, US has the best weapons for the past decades so naturally Singapore will buy from them. But what arrange US have with Singapore in order for them to sell, that is unknown.
Even Kishore & BG Yeo, Same For Most Outspoken Public Speakers, Are Way Off The New 5D Earth's Way Of Ascension. QFS, RV, GCR Through NESARA GESARA & TRUMPSARA.
I don't think he can side China. His wealth is in vice grip of the US. His entire families head may roll if he don't obey. That is what corruption does to a nation espacially when the top politicians relent to seduction. And this is also what fouding father of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew preached so earnestly and to enforce anti-corruption within his govenment.
Just because you disagree with him? George Yeo is a true blue Singaporean born and bred, and one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent politicians SG has ever produced, with a depth of understanding of global geopolitics and history matched by few. Kudos to him and Kishore for offering a refreshingly intelligent and well-substantiated perspective on China different from the usual western anti-China propaganda groupthink.

@@neway518 ,He was a foreign affairs minister between Year 2004 to 2011 at that time China's weapons are not so advance la, further more we bought US weapons since LKY time and LKY still around, you think he can change LKY,'s mind???
@@neway518 As a seller, you cannot demand people to buy from you if your products are not up to standard. If your products are of the best quality, you don't need to demand, people will buy from you.

@@neway518 I can be your friend but if you are selling smthg inferior than others, there is no reason for me to spend my money on inferior goods. I want the best and will spend my money on the best products. Don't mix friendship with business. If you are hungry and broke, as a friend, I will provide for you so that you do not need to stay hungry. That's what a friend is for. But if you are a businessman, I will only patronise if you have the products that I need.
Agree absolutely! He over rated himself. Just go read more history books and one can get the same info. He is a passe. Any great achievements he contributed to SG? Zilch !!!
There is no China base in Sabah, only formal agreements for port access for stopovers, which have been happening anyway. It is not uncommon, as France and the US also have such agreements.
Philosopher yeo like to use history as reference to gauge China’s behavior. No guarantee all Chinese emperors behave the same. Odd ball Winnie and charismatic former premier Zhu Rong Ji definitely different wavelength.
