Singapore had slapped itself by backtracking on its principle.

Singapore FM Vivian kept talking about SG principle when he was expressing his warped interpretations of UNCLOS.

However, Singapore had just slapped itself by backtracking on its principle.  Singapore sanctioned Russia for the Ukraine invasion but it bought more Russian's oil after the Iran war had started.

What principle is this?

Nobody is going to respect SG anymore if this is how SG conducts itself on the world stage.
