OMG! Singapore is trying to divide ASEAN now to show its support for the US.

Instead of unifying ASEAN, Singapore is doing the exact opposite by persuading other ASEAN members to kick out Cambodia and Laos.

I knew that SG was anti-Cambodia but never thought that it would be to this extent.

Why did SG do such a thing?  This is because SG is trying to help the US to increase its influence in ASEAN by reducing some pro-China supporters (Cambodia & Laos).

The latest survey conducted by SG showed that 7 ASEAN members supported China.

Things will not bode well for SG by offending these 2 ASEAN members (Cambodia & Laos) because they will not support SG in the future and SG's influence in ASEAN will be greatly reduced.

I just hope that Cambodia and Laos won't propose kicking SG out of ASEAN for being a troublemaker or a vassal to the US.

SG had been picking on Cambodia recently.
