OMG! Singapore abstained from voting for this nuclear weapons ban treaty! Why?
Did the USA pressure Singapore from voting? Or Singapore supports nuclear weapons?

More sanctions on North Korea won't work.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/u-given-china-draft-u-n-north-korea-190521886.html
Let's face it and take a time out to re-examine all the sanctions imposed on NK.
Ever since sanctions were imposed on NK, NK's nuclear and missile technologies were advancing year after year regardless of the sanctions.
Therefore, it's pretty obvious that sanctions don't work at all because China and Russia will continue to support NK and Kim knows it better than the USA.
Therefore, USA has to work cordially with China and Russia to resolve the NK's issues.

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 12 this week to 952.
A year ago, just 440 rigs were active.
Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes said Friday that 763 rigs sought oil and 189 explored for natural gas this week.

USA is trying to pressurize China to whip North Korea but in a wrong way.

The USA is trying to force China to whip North Korea with this flyover but it will not succeed because China will retaliate in another way.
The political tactic now is to create stinging issue against your opponent and use it for negotiation. Both countries know this and will create troubles for each other.
Russia and China have stopped the USA motion in UN already. The USA has to understand that UN cannot approve any motion without Russia and China approvals.

A North Korea war is not a simple affair.
If a war breaks out in North Korea due to the USA, it won't be a simple affair. Why?
This is because the North Korea war will drag China, Russia, South Korea and Japan into it. When there are so many countries involved in a war, it will definitely get messy and cannot be easily controlled.
NK will definitely attack SK and Japan while China and Russia will support NK for its fight against the USA. Therefore, the USA is unlikely to attack NK without approvals from China and Russia. Asia will be in a big chaos because of this NK war.
Do we really want a war that is in Asia?

North Korea's ICBM testing has the support from Russia & China.
How did North Korea get the ICBM technology?
It is Russia that transferred the ICBM technology to NK but ICBM technology alone is not enough to make it a success as GPS is needed to guide the ICBM. Therefore, China let NK use the beidou GPS for the ICBM testing.
Why did China and Russia help NK to develop the ICBM?
I have to attribute this to the USA for forcefully installing the THAAD system in South Korea. China and Russia are helping NK so that they will have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the USA to remove the THAAD system from SK. This is a political tactic that I've mentioned previously in my post below.

This is a typical USA political style and I've seen this played out many times.

Skirmishes between China and Vietnam.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/world/asia/china-vietnam-south-china-sea.html
General Fan from China left the meeting with Vietnam because he received intelligence that Vietnam and USA were conducting oil exploration in Nansha while he's in Vietnam which was tantamount to a backstab on General Fan.
Who wouldn't be fuming? The meeting was supposed to defuse the tension but Vietnam did exactly the opposite when General Fan arrived in Vietnam.
Both sides should adhere to the agreed codes of conduct and defuse the tension or there won't be peace in South China Sea.
Our late Lee Kuan Yew was wary of Vietnam in the past and was the first PM in the world to write to the Thailand King to warn about Vietnam. Moreover, our late Lee Kuan Yew was also the one who encouraged the USA to contain Vietnam which resulted in the Vietnam war because Lee Kuan Yew didn't want communism to spread to South East Asia.

Will smoking ban at Orchard Road improve visitor experience?
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/orchard-road-to-go-smoke-free-by-2018-no-new-smoking-areas-at-f-8991026
Well, I don't know about you guys but I usually stay indoor in the mall to enjoy the air-con unless I've to walk to another mall on the street. Therefore, there's not much improvement in the visitor experience to speak of as I don't stay long on the street. Singapore is so hot and humid and there's no reason to stay long on the street unless I want to "roast" myself in the day. The nightlife is also not fun at Orchard Road unless you are looking for a happy ending at Lucky Plaza or Orchard Tower.
I must say Orchard Road has lost its allure as a shopping paradise and I've not shopped at Orchard Road for a long time already. I don't go to Orchard Road unless on a need-to basis which is usually reserved for a business appointment.
The shopping experience is not great anymore at Orchard Road because its product mix is not attractive or interesting. I rather stay at home to browse and shop online at my own comfort time. My shopping habit has changed and I've shopped more online nowadays. The Orchard Business Association is looking at the wrong cause of the problem. I know that mall retail vacancy is increasing and the Orchard Business Association is very worried but prescribing the wrong medicine for the ailment won't improve the condition at all.
The Orchard Business Association has to bear in the mind that China and Japanese tourists are smokers and they will also reduce their shopping visits to Orchard Road due to the smoking ban.
This smoking ban will definitely impact Orchard retail revenues and more retailers will move out as they cannot sustain their retail businesses due to the high rentals. Last but not least, I'm not a smoker and I exercise regularly. Thus, this is not a prejudiced opinion of the smoking ban for Orchard Road.
PS: If NEA is really worried about our health, it will be better to reduce carbon dioxide and PM2.5 in the air as these cause more harm to our bodies than cigarettes.

Here we go again!
This is the reason why the world cannot forgive Japan for its atrocities in WW2. We must insist that Japan keeps apologizing for WW2 crimes so that it can never have the opportunity to whitewash its disgraceful history.
Our PM Lee made a grave mistake by asking Japan not to apologize anymore and this had incurred the wrath of regional countries like China and South Korea because SG was also a victim in WW2.
The Japanese consulate claimed that the so-called "Comfort Women" were merely paid prostitutes because they couldn't withstand the hardships of life and therefore sold sex for money. If our PM Lee approved Japan's rationale, then we're blaming our own Singapore women in the past for being paid prostitutes because they couldn't tolerate hardships.

USA is trying to stir troubles again for China.
http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/us-senate-panel-votes-to-allow-american-warships-to-dock-in-taiwan-ports
The USA should stop playing this kind of trick. It is a stupid political move because China knows that it won't go through as the USA cherishes diplomatic ties with China.
The USA knows that China will cut diplomatic ties with the USA if this policy is approved by the parliament or when President Trump doesn't veto it.
The anti-secession law in China doesn't allow foreign intervention in Taiwan affairs and this kind of intervention will give China the legitimate reason to take Taiwan by force.
Good luck to Taiwan since it is so eager to be the sacrificed pawn!

Hot news! Philippines president Duterte may have lung cancer!
News came out of Taiwan that Duterte may have lung cancer because Taiwanese doctor and chinese physician are engaged to treat Duterte in the Philippines.
Duterte didn't attend the national day parade and went missing for 6 days in the Philippines. If he really has lung cancer, there'll be chaos in South China Sea again because USA will make use of this golden opportunity to manipulate and control Philippines after Duterte.

Why did China set up a public trial and execute 13 drug lords?
http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2100147/13-chinese-sentenced-death-drugs-offences-thousands-look-public
A village in the city of Lufeng was a major drug manufacturing plant and the whole villagers were involved actively in the drug production. It took 3,000 military police and 2 months of planning to storm into the village to arrest about 200 villagers. Military police were involved because local police were bribed.
The public trial and immediate execution of 13 drug criminals were meant to send a strong signal to the other citizens in the village that drug production was a felony and anyone caught in production and selling of drugs would be executed. This maybe a draconian tactic but it is a necessary one because high officials and the whole villagers were involved.

Japan's future is getting murky now because China has rejected Japan's interest in the OBOR initiatives. Furthermore, USA has also expressed interest in the OBOR initiatives. If the USA is able to join but Japan cannot, then Japan will lose out in a big way.

The USA has viewed China as a formidable force that it has no choice but to engage in a discussion with China. The USA won't waste its time for such meeting if the USA didn't view China as an equitable country. This has been the USA mode of operandi.
Therefore, China should make full use of this opportunity to seal any agreements and deals with USA since it has bargaining power now.

Will noble group's credit extension trigger a credit default swap payout?
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/noble-groups-2-billion-loan-185219636.html
Credit default swap is tantamount to an insurance against a default. When there is a credit event, the buyer of CDS will get a payout from the seller. If this credit extension to noble represents a credit event, the buyers of CDS will get payouts on the company's $5b debt.
Basically, the CDS doesn't affect the underlying shares because CDS market is largely unregulated. If there is a default, you'll get the par value of your CDS as a buyer. A buyer will have to pay an "insurance premium" to the seller for the CDS periodically for the risk transfer and is entitled to an "insurance payout" when there is a credit event.

USA destroyer collision was due to blatant flouting of international maritime law.
USA destroyer collided with a container ship because it flouted the international maritime law. USA destroyer suffered heavy damages on its right side (starboard) as it collided with the left side (port) of the container ship.
Anyone with a power craft boat licence will know that one cannot approach another vessel on its left side (port). The right side (starboard) is designated with a GREEN light and the left side (port) is designated with a RED light. When you see that your vessel is navigating towards a RED light (port) of another vessel, you should slow down or even stop. Any vessel has to be mindful of its starboard (right side) and monitor any vessel approaching from its right.
Obviously, USA destroyer breached this international maritime law in the name of freedom of navigation and collided with the container ship. A normal radar will show the direction, speed and trajectory of another vessel. Therefore, the captain will definitely know that his vessel is approaching on the starboard or port of another vessel and any activity on its own starboard.
Shame on you, USA!

Wow! Lee Hsien Yang accused PM Lee of being a liar!

No wonder Lee Hsien Yang will have to leave SG for good because of the acrimonious family feud.
PM Lee will definitely accuse Lee Hsien Yang of casting aspersion on his integrity because a liar is unfit to be a PM especially one who is lying openly in public.
