Malaysia’s interest in joining BRICS Group may be ‘to in a sense, please China’, says analyst 

You what will happen to Singapore if the US sanction Singapore banks on abuses of human rights, freedom of speech and democracy, unfair trade practices and money laundering. They can throwing in funding of terror groups, and supporting genocide

Singapore is not in the business of making losses. Every decisions that were made were carefully calculated.

My comment taken out. I wrote about the danger of sanctions for the usual excuses.

If your logic pleases you, SG will be glad to oblige. Insofar, SG has not commented on MY expressed intention except hearing lots of unqualified comments and putting thoughts on SG yet to express stance. Goes to validate a lot of keyboard warrior intellectual quotient.

singkapoh is a US puppet

in American perspective, Biden is government servant. in Singaporean perspective, Lawrence is government servant. Funny to see many Malaysian think Anwar is leader.

Reality bites.

Make sure you do not end up like Sri Lanka and Argentina or worse the Philippines or Hong Kong… @Komariaazzzz - please Mr Xi all you want but protect your national interest first

Why can’t you please Biden?

@@7Siniestro7Pistolero7 biden is a so hai

This is a please China movement… no harm for Malaysia… Get their money and get the Malaysian Chinese votes… Malaysian Chinese are rather pro- China probably because they see China - Mainland as a source of pride

It the same logic that says if Russia trades with China, Russia must be becoming a Chinese vassal.

Plus a swift downgrade of its investability.

nations are sick of imported inflation again and again (because of U$$D Over-Printing), disrupting their economic growth... while us enjoy their spending spree without feeling guilty/shame for the world... in addition, nations are also de-risking their reserves from being looted/sanctioned by us. world-wide de-dollarization is inevitable and imminent, or is it?

Singapore is consistently the top FDI in China (ex HK and bigger than the USA) and none of the existing BRICS members are within the top 10 FDI in China. And Singapore is also the consistent top FDI investor in all ASEAN members that outbid China. So why should Singapore join BRICS and be dictated by its investees, where is the logic?

This half baked analyst is obviously one of those American trained and influenced scholars that are abound in Singapore.

While the dis-jointed statement "half-baked analyst ... abound in Singapore" may ring somewhat true ; still some clarification is due. Half-baked or not, Singapore-based analysts are richly-groomed more to "goreng" the truth if not also to "rebus" the facts. Little that are really objective came out of this so called analysis, clearly the analyst in question thrives by begging the question. Actually Malaysia doesn't want to break down the West as much as it wants to BRICS it up ! 😂

The Portuguese came and conquered Malacca because the Sultan during that time was the one who instigated the bitter relations between them by imprisoning some Portuguese visitors without any valid reasons and refused to answer any compensations asked by Albuquerque.

China wants Malaysia close with them is not because of energy security, palm oil or rubber... its because malaysia's semiconductor industry..

United states total import of Electric & Electronic goods FROM Malaysia worth USD 19.43 Billion in 2023, 20% united states semiconductor import is FROM Malaysia bigger than Taiwan, Malaysia export TO China is Intergrated Circuit worth USD12.5 Billion 25.8%, Gas 9.4%, Petroleum 5.9%..

Nope , ASEAN stay neutral and trade with all. For trade with better position , trade more. For trade with less advantage position , trade less. Own people interest come first.

You want the truth? Malaysia needs a strong and visionary leader to lead. We hope PM Anwar will be such leader like our President Xi. He has made a wise decision to join BRICS and Malaysia will benefit a lot. Malaysia has natural resources/agriculture that need a huge consumer and global manufacturer like China to buy, the USA is not capable without the mass manufacturing capability. China has many experienced and cheap infrastructure developers/manpower to help develop Malaysia's buildings, ports, railways, highways etc. We also have a huge manufacturing industry offering a wide range of consumer products from home appliances, furnishing, electric cars etc at a very competitive price to immediately bring down Malaysia's domestic inflation. China-majority-lead AIIB in collaboration with our state-owned banks can support Malaysia with competitive capital needs. The next economy millennium belongs to Asia and Asian countries should support China to lead.

BS

Agree. BRICs has nothing to do with western support of Israel.

Exactly. The PM is making risky choices 😂Once they are further invested in it, it will make it even more difficult to exit. The CCP cannot be trusted. The best option is to stay neutral.

What the Msian PM Anwar did throughout the previous years in regard to handling and negotiating with the CCP is indeed concerning 😅

SG is of no value to BRICS as 1) SG is small and not a resource-rich country able to be exploited nor able to satisfy China's development needs. 2) SG consumer market is too small to satisfy China's vast manufacturers' and exporters' needs. 3) SG doesn't have a large low to medium-manufacturing industry to be cannibalized by China's vast cheaper manufacturers. 4) SG's developed economy is now in the infrastructure preservation, recycling and enhancement phase unlike the initial development, so SG will not offer much infrastructure development or cheap land for China developers that desperately seek to expand overseas with China's domestic glut situation.

I think Singapore shall join as the 2nd last member of ASEAN to the BRICs, on her own intent. Russia shall see more plus than negative for SGP to join. But the Philippines has proven she is too easily captured by the US to do her chores, and is unlikely to join or be accepted.

@@smling11 Putin have made it clear that those who unilaterally sanctioned Russia which is against international laws will not be a part of BRICS. Russia is a core member of BRICS, and their words matter more in terms of influence

​@smling11 Unfortunately SG won't be able to qualify for membership. She closed the doors to BRICS when she sanctioned it's core member. China's attention will be go to BRICS members, perhaps one day the ASEAN clearing house for RMB will be moved to Kuala Lumpur

@@marklim4973 Personally, I don't think Asian Monetary Fund will happen because it doesn't cover all the countries in the global south.

I almost fell off my chair with your hilarious comment, since you've presumed Singaporeans are arrogant, I will humbly advise you to take up some geo-economic study before amusing me further with your antics. Just a heads-up to kick-start a simple syllabus for you, 1. Who has the most combined FDI in the whole of ASEAN, China or Singapore? 2. Who is China's biggest FDI investor? 3. Then you deliberate whether is BRICS worthy of Singapore's attention? 4. If Singapore does get invited to participate, though we hope not to avoid offending the invitee. What will be the purpose and consequence for the whole of ASEAN? Aha.. maybe a bit far-fetch into geo-politic for you, give it a try if you're intrigued with your quotient. 5. Finally to surmise, there is a reason for Singapore to be in the top 5 world economies despite failing your hubris expectations, we've always been humble.
