Read my lips....they are an unwelcomed provocation but what can we do? Your rants in SBF are just what they are, which is zilch. It remains for us to be vigilant and use our diplomatic channels which will fall on deaf ears.
We may be small but we are not incapable of inflicting damage should push comes to shove. It will be sheer foolishness on our part to challenge them over the matter and escalate the tension caused by the indos. We need to bide our time and give them a black eye over this issue once the dust has settled down when the opportune moment arrives.
WELL said and commented.
But we have to exercise great restraint and great diplomacy in such sensitive matters. There is no need for Singapore to over-react or even invite more hostile confrontations . Just state our displeasure. State our stand. The reason for our reaction. That's all we can do. Let the others judge us.Let the international audience judge us. That is all we can do...
Do not provoke.Do not escalate. Do not over-step our limitations. Just stay cool, calm and collected. Things will pass....
