That's forced neutrality to minimise citizen lives lost. ASEAN is a joke.

The principle will be the side that gives SG more benefits in the long run.

I will believe him if Singapore recalls our Israel ambassador & send the Israel ambassador here back to Israel to protest Israel's conduct in the ongoing Gaza genocide.

Since Singapore stands for international law & human rights principles right?

In actual fact, our principles are of double standards & mostly just verbal talk (little to no action).

Very well spoken.

Spoke truthfully like a small country. When US is the only military superpower is the last 50 years it invaded and attacked how many countries ? Which country dare to sanction and condemn US ? None.

This has been proven over and over historically power and might speak the loudest and you can do whatever u like.

Show me when Singapore operated on principles

Is teleporting into voting booth a principle power?

He didn't specify what Law exactly.

The lowest common denominator of Law is Law of the Jungle right?

 

[Joe Mahmood]

I think he means play wait and see game not principle. If he sees the other country is winning over the other country then he will pick the winning country.
