Singapore application to Interpol hits brick wall. Perhaps
Singapore could be a bit more respectful of international legal
protocol, especially since Romania has thus far seemed quite
cooperative for their part (already indicting him on 2nd Feb for
negligent homicide). Think complying w International norms would be
better for the image of Singapore rather then a 'high-handed'
approach.
Also, given Romania's obvious preference to abide by international
laws of diplomatic relations, perhaps Singapore should cooperate
closely with Romania in persecuting Dr Ionescu for the moment as
the practice of such 'one-upmanship'- bypassing the Romanian
government in disciplining its diplomat against international
diplomatic norms- might be viewed negatively by the Romanian
people, God forbid it be viewed as 'brinkmanship' and regrettably
backfire.
I might be wrong of course...
May we be at peace with the world.
