![[IN FULL] National Day Rally 2023: PM Lee Hsien Loong’s speech in English](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lb71dcKmjSQ/mqdefault.jpg)
The Wang-Koo meeting mentioned by Ma Ying-Jeou in Singapore took place in 1993. The 92 Consensus (九二共识) is a different meeting between China-Taiwan officials on 92, the term itself was now hotly contested by the DPP.
If all the countries in the world take the decision of not taking sides between US and China, there is possibly for these two countries to improve their relationship in future.
Hey dumbass is USA forcing other small country to choose side , never China
America's hegemonic attitude & unwillingness to accept China as an equal & playing the Taiwan card against China is the cause of all the instability between the 2 countries.
Great to hear from Ma Ying Jeou !
the US is never going to allow this to happen. it's either on our side or you are the enmey
Can the AS$(Anglo SaxonS) be trusted?
I'm sure Ma Ying- jeou was delighted to meet Xi Jinping in Singpaore ....but I wonder why Ma Ying-jeou didn't proceed further to have a negotiation for the peaceful reunification?
Instead, he started to call for a status quo of "不统不武不独" ... why??
And whenTsai Ing-wen was elected, then obviously it's not possible to have any dialogue at all because she doesn't accept the "92 consensus" ... and she doesn't accept the fact that the mainland region and the Taiwan region are part and parcel of one CHINA.
No choice now .. but to hope that, after the election, the newly elected leader of ROC(Taiwan), the governing authority of the Taiwan region of one CHINA, will take heed of PM LHL's advice that it will be risky and will have dangerous consequences to change the international understanding of "one CHINA" and to spin this domestic "Taiwan issue" among the Chinese people living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait into international contest of democracy vs autocracy.
We hope there will be a dialogue again soon and negotiation for a peaceful reunification.
两岸一家亲, 家和万事兴 !!
台 湾 海 峡 和 平 万 岁 !!
He is just a politician. He has vested interests to protect.
Ha ha ha!
@@GASIA-cw8iw I think there is a saying of "人在江湖, 身不由己" ....
and, I guess he could be caught in the dilemma of " 人在美圈中, 决策不由己 ". 😃😃!!
@@yangjianguo1848 He is too naive. CCP won't want dialogue that leads to no unification.
新加坡总理加油加油加油加油🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WHO initiated this war???Its the US
awesome
excellent

Smiling Tiger
No wonder my gifted son told me u are a smart person. Amen 🙏
Sg is two timer
US and China
Aggressive China?? How how he didn't mention about the Aggressive US whose 400+ Military bades, warships and troops are all over Indochina and partly in SEA?? He must be brainwashed.
Chinese are much more reasonable for Singaporeans to stay with, race and ethnic is a huge issue in geopolitics, especially to the anglo saxons.
Yes and no. If you think if China is the only superpower,they look at race , ethnic? You will die without knowing the reason. Thousands years of empires in China tells you what awaits you.
he finally becomes as great as his father.
His father is not that great!
You're too small, that's why you see them as great men.
Ha ha ha!
Thats a good joke !!!
总统李显龙先生 我越看你越帥 可以和你交个朋友吗？请回复 爱你的人林志成❤💖💞💪💪💪
Answer by PM LHL on question at 30.06 min shows that that he believes HK is not part of China. What a surprise!
He only mentioned that was the decision from HK autonomous administration not China government 😮stupid
Look at the cost of living b4 and after he took office, u know how incompetent is he.
Which country in the world where cost of living is not an issue? Is affordability of goods and services. Is wages stagnant? Inflation and growth or you want deflation?
and the higher rates of unemployment, haywire public housing prices, resentment between native Singaporeans and PRs/new citizens. TBH, i see more Malaysian chinese (PRs or now citizens) in civil and well as in the public sector than those born here (the ones whose parents helped his father's amazing team build this nation). i really liked him, but can't help feeling extremely disappointed with his and some of this ministers.
@@ezek7 it’s a fact when you want higher wages, lower paying jobs will move out, unemployment is part of it, so upskill is till a certain extent, reskinning and not job protection is right.
HDB prices , what is fair price? Everyone wants cheap and big. Best free. There are limitations . What is considered excessive and wastage?
Everyone wants work little get big paycheck. Yes you can say LSL can do better or not good enough. Even god can please everyone let alone Superman. If anyone think’s he better. Pls step up. You are welcome to show how competent you are.
No systems of governments are fool proof. Taiwanese said Singapore are not democratic, because 1} no change of government 2) media can’t write freely without consensus (free speech) etc.
Pass elections proves opposition wins are possible. Every votes casted are counted.
Free speech? You can say you hate to the core about LSL, you won’t get sue, but if you can’t proof his wrongdoing,is only fair either party can seek justification in court. You see Taiwan elections campaigning, lies are everywhere. When got caught just ignore and move on. Public opinions of Taiwanese government are corruptions etc..
Elections is every few years, people day to day needs like housing,jobs, personal security . In Taiwan water , electricity, threat of war, crimes with fire arms are daily events. Earthquake and typhoons? HK Superman Li Kar Shing commentaries deserves a look. Are we over demanding of our government? Does Singaporeans now really want instant results, shortsighted, blame gaming?
Singapore's GSP per capita:
2005: US$30,000
2020: US$60,000 (doubled in 15 years)
2023: US$90,000 (increased another US$30k in three years)
Can see how Singapore is open to money laundering?
From 2005 - 2023:
Under-employed and jobless PMET become serious problems.
Exaggerated housing problem.
Middle-income households can't afford to own a car.
Coffee shops have become open bars that create spitting, smoking, littering, and noise problems.
Half the economy is relying on low-income locals and foreigners to sustain. Even haircutting has become a low-income industry that provides jobs for foreigners such as Malaysians.
The list goes on...
Ha ha ha!
@@shaunsim3188 is yr head empty? 🤣
As singapore had changed to a multi-nation country, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back, only way is to death end..
Moving forward, 50% of Singaporean graduates won't be able to taste success in their lives. Any Singaporean who passed the PSLE will be able to understand this serious problem.
This sleepy government is still talking about skills upgrade?
Ha ha ha!
Agree, their whole skills future thing is a huge failure - at most it created jobs for those working there..but not many jobs have been created out of their useless schemes.
@@ezek7 Yeah, instead of solving the under-employed and jobless PMET problems, his government has inflated a huge training industry that is sustained by taxpayers' money. Try using your own money to attend a Microsoft Office training, and see how unaffordable it has become.
Ha ha ha!
I have come across quite a number of Singaporeans supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, quoting fight against colonialism and US’s interference in the past against other countries.They do not seem to understand why you also have to stand up against Russia snd countries like China trying to overturn the UN and current rules according to the charter when you criticises the US. It appears to me they are much influenced by chauvinism be it racial ,regional or otherwise than right thinking. I think this kind of approach is going to create a more unstable world and never believe that countries like China and Russia are going to be fairer to you if they win this struggle with open aggression and economic coercion; Pipe dream
More like we are objective enough to see through the western propoganda and use critical reasoning to see the cause and effects of why Russia and China do what they do. Unlike you, who is obviously strongly anti China, lacks objectivity and is blinded by the western propoganda machine. Fool.
Can u pls go look up the wars the US has been involved in directly and indirectly across the world after WW2 than perhaps u can understand and appreciate better why there are people that side with the Russians on the Ukraine war. Most of us side with Russia not because we think Russia is right to invade Ukraine, most of us side with Russia because we know Russia feels threaten and the war in Ukraine is to stop NATO expansion all around Russia.
How much do u understand about the Zelensky Ukraine regime? It is run by N@zi elements of the Ukrainian people mostly from the western Ukraine and they have no qualms of killing their own people. Zelensky himself has enrich himself from a comedian to now a billionaire go do some research see how many properties a comedian turned politician has earn ever since he became President of Ukraine.
The world is never black or white so stop trying to see geopolitics and keep reading and looking at mainstream media its all western and US propaganda if u have seen thru all of this time to wake up.
Countries like Russia or China has interest but how they go about achieving this end can be seen if u go look thru history to understand them better. Rather u keep believing the narrative told to u like a sheep.
Did any country stand up to US when it illegally invaded Iraq and killed over a million innocent civilians??? All of a sudden the west has this moral indignation that was absent from US breaking rules. Russia wanted a peaceful resolution to NATO aggression, but US wanted a war, to solidify its presence in Europe and military industrial complex
To Taiwanese, Singapore is democratic enough to have multiple voices
if you never support one side, it is doomed to a big risk.
Also don't forget the pap party love to give the people jabs and the people also love to take jabs, good luck to them.
On the issue of Ukraine, Singapore has to take instructions from Daddy America. Period.
You're naive if you got hoodwinked by his words. Did he say anything for Palestinians and Syrians?
Singapore's economic health requires huge investment opportunities for the large amount of money (local and foreign-owned) here. China is a giant economy that can take in big funds from Singapore.
We can't keep saying NO to Daddy America, thus, it is convenient to say YES on the Ukraine issue.
Ha ha ha!
So does the end result benefit Singapore? Over all there will be plus and minus, it’s all about Singapore interest . If China still fully Marxist theology. Doomsday for investors in china
@@shaunsim3188 Do you know anything about Marxist theology? Or you're just parroting angmohs' views?
Ha ha ha!
The opposition parties in s'pore have made a great contribution to the country by having many of their members like pritam, lim tean and hsien yang involved in police investigation for crimes like lying under oath, breach of trust, stalking, etc.
I still remember how pritam reacted when their member lying to push narrative. The opposite parties are not so sharp when come to their internal issue, just like PAP.
Also the saying goes: the people like to choose the pap party so let the people suffer..
The best-governed country on earth is not little Singapore.
The best-governed country on earth is China.
Ha ha ha!
Also sg scams city, good luck.
Scam your mother
And money laundering city.
SG is a financial hub and ranked among the top 5 least corrupt countries in the world. Thus it is certainly not a money laundering and scam city.
@@Edwin-fk4yy you people are dumb . You see the world in white and black and nothing in between. Just because there is a huge money laundering case , you call it money laundering city. I wonder why stupid people like you are even allowed to live in this world? You pathetic dogs should be stripped of all human rights and be treated like a dog !
He is the most shallow PM so far. His understanding of not choosing a side is to stand on the line dividing the black and white.
Can you see the problem here?
Ha ha ha!
In this world, the truth belongs to the one with the biggest fist. Ha ha ? Who Doesn’t who mother is woman? Where does “pointing to a deer ,saying it’s a horse” comes from? Or what it’s means? He’s position is to protect Singapore’s interest, regardless his dislikes of any persons or countries.
@@shaunsim3188 Yeah, can't make Daddy America angry; otherwise, the CIA might disclose the wealth of LKY.
Ha ha ha!
What about LKY wealth? Please educate the future generation about it.
Also don't forget the pap party run out of road for cars, etc etc.. and run out of land to build hdb flats and others, etc etc.. it's the pap party mistakes of course.
