As Thailand claims, the shin corp buy-out was illegal:

If the Thais investigate and have conclusive evidence that the takeover was not in accordance with the law, they may well push ahead with their threat to re-take Shin Corp, and there is NOTHING SG can do about it, except file an appeal to the international court. In the long run, Temaesk may even write-off the total loss as another expensive TUITION FEE, one which we seem to pay for regularly, at the cost of taxpayer's monies due to poor and ill-researched decisions left in the hands of [b]half-baked 'CEOs' leading govt-link corporations.

Fwah! Lovely choice of word - Half-Baked!

well said. we should look at ourselves in the mirror and reflect. if you dont have any friends do you blame the whole world for not appreciating you or you reflect yourself first?
In fact singaporean are not so well like in many countries for lotsa reason.
why do we always have problem with countries that seem lower than us? and suck up those like americans, britons, and EU country?

I think the issue will be viewed in a different light if Temasek Holdings is a truly commercial company not tinged by the government. In this case, its a pure commercial dealing & its easier for folks to swallow.

Okay.
Why don't we sell the company's assets NOW?
And hand them back the company; an empty shell.
Very Happy

The Shin Corp deal is blotched because of Thaksin, not because of Temasek. Telenor, a norwegian firm, owned majority of Total Access Communication (DTAC) in Thailand via a thai nominee company. DTAC is a mobile communications firm. Why no complains?

There is nothing wrong in Temasek buying over Shin Corp as Shin Corp is a public listed company and by that it means that anyone can buy the shares. The so called "national asset" satellites are also not a concern because ShinSat is only 40+% owned by Shin Corp, majority is owned by the Thai government. The assets are in Thailand, operated by Thais and owned by Thais. How can Singapore spy on their military? In fact, the claim would seem idiotic at best because a satellite acts like a mirror and security should be implemented at the end communication. If the communication channel is not encrypted, anyone including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam or Malaysia can simply spy on their communication over the air.

Udon airbase. Singapore signed an MOU with the Thais to use their airspace for training for 3 years. In return, Singapore allows Thai military planes to use Singapore airbase. Singapore also gave them 7 F16 A/Bs for free.

*Pretends to tremble and hide under the table in fear

Wake up the idea la Thailand!

ShutterBug SG

Ehh....! Dun play-play ah... they are the land of Red Bull ok...!!!

carrotsoup SG

Attack us for what? Conquer us, so that their children and grandchildren can slog like us?

BillyBong SG

Is telenor a private company or a nationalised firm?

The issue is that a singapore government-linked organisation was allowed to buy a thai govt-linked corporation in the first place.

Whether it is through a thai intermediatory is irrelevant. It is source of the buy-out that the Thais are unhappy with.

mistyblue SG

lots of sg people think other country do business like singapore. Black and white, prim and proper. This is high handed thinking…

pearlie27 SG

high handed thinking? think it is more naive and lack of exposure.

Advante_101 SG

Singapore got simi lanqiao to play with Thailand..Wake up ur bloody idea la to those who said Thailand will lose on a war side.. Laughing Wat a bloody moron joke *shake head*

Our 'highly educated members of the elite circle' did...

The CFO got the sack and i can't believe the CEO still has the skin to sit on the 'throne' and not issue any statements of apology. First time was a lesson learnt and so what now ?

It's the peoples' money those elites threw away.

This kind of sh1t got MNCs want to hire meh ? God knows how much the bonus the CEO receives. 10 months ?

Paper cannot wrap fire. Slowly but surely, ugly truths will surface.

carlsonxjd SG

u sure our sillypore straights times report word by word of what the thai ppl said? and not adding soya sauce to make their readers to have a good impression of sillypore while at the same time give a bad image of other country. afterall straights times are linked with white clothes ppl.

ShutterBug SG

I tell you all, so long as we are under their system and policies, you can treat EVERYTHING from them like Instant Noodles; a lot of MSG added, bad for health when consumed long term, and can NEVER fill your stomachs...! Oh, and the wrapper always changes, while contents are ALWAYS the same...

Mr. Green

Advante_101 SG

x2 true

Actually that sonthi guy have agreed that he would use money to buy back those Satellites..It would only be fair and Sg would also also be very happy to sold it back to its owners...Taken from some reliable sources.

Actually mine own personal view is to ask that thaksin guy the very person who sold the satellites and swallowed the whole deal profits and caused all this headache between the two countries...To buy back the Sats with his own bank money..

sgdiehard SG

so tell us what exactly word for word the thai ppl said, no soya sauce and no tom yam soup pls. Mr. Green pls ensure that the thai ppl you quote here are not linked with the green uniform ppl. Military that took over government by force in coup is not legitimate hor.
