PM Lee learns hard truth about 'taunts vs diplomacy'
For decades, Singapore has been chest-thumping and taunting its neighbours with not so diplomatic words. We have always flexed our muscles and portrayed them as "the enemy". Even to the point that Singapore is a vulnerable nation, surrounded by a sea of hostile Muslims, out to usurp us. So what happens now? Isn't it time to show who's the one in control?
Nope, PM Lee suddenly takes a soft diplomatic tone. That should be the way. That should have been the way all along!
