Singapore is as strong an ally to the USA as the leaders
of the nine countries whom Obama called - Australia,
Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico and South
Korea - more so when the Singapore Leadership had given unstinting
support to most US policies as much as Australia,
Britain, and Israel despite our size.
Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico had broken ranks with
the USA on more political and military issues then Singapore has
supported; while Japan and South Korea were even
more selective.
Despite the unstinting support from SG as an ally - did any US
Administration showed the same level of appreciation to SG ?
Only you will pull the wool over your own eyes to believe that
"SG leader dunt need American to endorse that SG is
important".
What possibly could be the reason for LKY
to desparately build a deep sea naval base in Changi that
can accomodate a US Navy aircraft carrier - and annoy every
South-east Asian countries, when all had wanted the US
Military out of the ASEAN region ?
Was it not a fact that LKY was promoting SG to be an
important
lynch-pin in the US Global reach ?
Surely, your Oz bitterness had blind-sided your views
towards PM Rudd - and forgot that his first
agenda as PM - was to withdraw Oz troops from Iraq, while SG's
Old Man felt that it was important to fly Singapore's flag in a
token appearance in Iraq - with an aerial tanker and a naval
LST.
Yet for all the negative claims you made, Australia
is a
member country of the G-8 while for all the self-aggrandizing
claims you made about SG's wealth - we are not even a member of the
G-8 or even part of the G-20 Countries - which included
the richest Asian country - China, and the poorest
- Indonesia.
From the calls made by Obama to the 9 leaders - are you
suggesting that the other nine countries are poorer, while
Singapore is far richer than them ?
From your typical stance taken in this SgForum, you
will probably turn a blind eye to the fact that it is the
Singapore Government that is rich, while Singaporeans are the
poorer lot.
Conversely, the US Government may have incurred a shocking
huge national debt that have gained notoriety, many like
you have largely ignored the other fact that the Private
Wealth in the USA far surpass the Singapore National
Reserves or the size of the US National Debt.
The reason for the USA still standing strong
- despite the present chaotic economic and financial
melt-down - is due largely to its inner strength -
compared to the Asian financial crisis
of 1997, when many Asian economies were
shaken to its core that resulted in total
financial collapse in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and
South Korea.
Despite the present US financial melt-down, the US
Dollar remains solid vis-a-vis other currencies, and is still used
as a Reserve Currency by many countries.
The solid Gold Bars locked up in Fort Knox remains
untouched.
The stupidity and greed of the World
Financial Community in swallowing all that the ingenious US
Financial System had created - reveal the smartness of not
utilising their own internal resources, but to incur the
losses onto others.
The US Lehman Brothers had the biggest investment fund
subscribers from Asian investors, and the biggest losers of
the collapse of Lehman Brothers were Asians not US
Citizens.
In your anxiety to blow the horn so loudly on behalf of
the SG Government, can you even begin to understand the
politics that have been played by the US Private Financial
Institutions on the World Community - when the
US financial system was de-regulated by the Bush
Administration ?
Can we trust your abilitly to differentiate
between the debt incurred by the US Private
Financial Institutions with the US Government Bonds issued by
the US Government ?
From your skewed views of Oz, it will be benefit you
more if you start re-reading and try to look into the deeper
meanings behind The
Wizard of Oz.
