Any more doubts that FAPee stooges are very much in control and their real purpose is to help perpetuate one-Familee rule instead of fighting for the interests of Sporns?

US envoy must clear the air on 'comment'
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

I AM writing as a concerned citizen of Singapore. United States Ambassador David Adelman had declared - at his nomination hearing before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee in February - that he planned to interfere in Singapore politics, albeit through so-called public diplomacy.
There is no mistaking what is meant by 'Make no mistake' and 'I intend'. Those are forceful words and are usually said with conviction. It makes me as a citizen wary of him and suspicious of his agenda.
Now the ambassador says it is just a comment ('I wasn't criticising S'pore, says US envoy'; last Friday).
Is he to be taken seriously the next time he says 'Make no mistake' and 'I intend'? Does he or does he not intend?
Perhaps he should just explain what he means by public diplomacy and exactly what he will do. Let us, the citizens, judge whether he is interfering with local politics.
