Singapore's attempt to be a fair and impartial partner to Japan has backfired, angering China?!

[zhoholang]

I hear the dialogue okk man but PRC netizens quite angry now

The past is the past , move forward la its destined Manchu will open gate for Nihon

Tis LW really jiak ba boh sai pang.

This is SG not China.

Singaporeans are generally happy with LW.

That matters more than some grumpy unemployed netizens.

 

[moonlighter_sg]

Can see all the TW hosts disagrees LW's comments.. Jialuck!
Commented LW is 白目 (clueless/insensitive/oblivious)
Dun give face siah.

Tis LW really jiak ba boh sai pang.

Reminds me of my former boss, talk for the sake of talking, with no value to the discussion.

Singapore main concern should be the feeling of the hundreds of thousand new citizens from tiongkok. The enemy from within is more dangerous than from foreign.

 

[Soracak]

Suddenly throwing vouchers doesn’t work! Oh noes

 

[zwHrebmeM]

LW is a bad diplomat. How can he say Senkaku Island without saying Diaoyudao at the same time

To be frank.. these are least of the concerns.. but there are state sponsored sanction actors that specialized in destabilization and propagandists.

The more jialat ones are our already brain washed boomers.. they hell bended believing communists are good and Japanese is evil from all the malicious vile and poisonous content of douyin ticktock xhs .. these are the one who will act in extreme.

But one thing about these boomers.. sticks and carrots work well... Fine and jail.. if good give more vouchers

CTI is deep blue, pro China.
Externally, Lawrence was talking to China, very much like the majority view here that China should step out of the victim mentality.
Internally Lawrence was addressing our self-radicalised uncles, aunties and others, sort of an idiot remark but with finesse.

If he crossed China to protect Singapore’s interests, fine. But picking a fight with China just to back a right-wing Japanese politician who denies WWII atrocities? That’s plain stupid. The PAP should either rein him in or find someone who actually knows when to keep his mouth shut.
Not everyone gets to be Lee Kuan Yew. If you don’t have his calibre, then keep quiet instead of lecturing others on their affairs. Stop playing global strategist when you’re clearly not one.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

I am very surprised by what he said. As surprised as LHL visiting Japan just before 80th anniversary of end of WW2. These have very obvious blowbacks so I can only assume they are deliberately calculated action and words.

 

[greenbubble]

The issue is related to Taiwan, I wonder why he talk about the wwii history.

 

[archie7]

hope China suspends tours to SG also
would love to have some peace in SG
