Singaporean officials publicly complained in 1997 that Suzhou's city government was promoting the Suzhou New District more than the Suzhou Industrial Park, noting that more billboards in the city advertised the SND than the SIP.[4] Singaporean officials tried to get the Suzhou government to suspend advertising for the SND for five years, but Suzhou city officials refused.[5] As part of their complaint, Lee Kuan Yew threatened that Singapore may "bow out" of the project.[4] The Singaporean government would later reduce its stake to just 35% in 1999, in an effort to incentivize the local government to support the SIP.[3][4][5] As part of their partial pullout, Singapore recalled all but three of its civil servants involved in the project,[4] and sold power and water treatment plants to their Chinese partners.

Its one thing if Sim Ann is playing politics. Even the old man made his frustrations known to Jiang Zemin. The Chinese ate our lunch and turned our cooperation into competition. :s13:

Still dare bring out. The 50 50 % became how many?

The tarrex incident leh?

Once armour always armour...
That’s like nanjing mayor saying the massacre is only 夫妻吵架 其實還是很恩愛的

Never apologize and return the park to us is bad enough. Pandemic also didn’t compensate us. And we still need to kiss their …. Siao ah… our leaders want to pretend close relationships also shouldn’t pick an example of a fraud to paint the partnership
