German Chancellor Angela Merkel, left, bows in front of the German
flag during the welcoming ceremony with military honours for
Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, center, in the
Chancellory in Berlin on Thursday, Dec. 1, 2005. Instead of bowing
in front of the German flag according to the international protocol
Singapore's Prime Minister kept on walking and left Chancellor
Merkel behind. It was Merkel's first welcoming ceremony with
military honours for an international guest after being elected
Chancellor.
OMFG nternational disgrace for SG again after VAN's case.
