LHL wants to prosecute Indonesians who cause haze.
Indonesia's VP said he wont allow LHL to prosecute the Indonesian culprits.
Let us see whether LHL has the courage to go ahead with the prosecution now that Kalla objects or will LHL back down.
LHL will of course understand that he cannot take Indonesia head on and come out on top. This issue may never be resolved unless the Indons themselves make it happen. LHL however has to raise some form of objections at least for public consumption.
LHL has no balls. Will Indonesia take LKY head on?
Indonesia does not have to take anyone of its neighbours head on since none dare initiate anything against it in the first place.
LKY hanged two of its commandos.
If LKY is in charge now, I dont think VP Kalla dares to say "No way" to LKY.
LHL is being bullied
That was ages ago and anyway I think that got back in a way by naming 2 of their warships after those commandos despite objections from Singapore. So its all in the deep distant past and evened out somewhat.
may be ages ago, but i think the same principle applies.
the main difference is LHL is in charge of SG
What then would responsibly you do if you were LHL?
my view is that LHL doesnt command the Indons' respect
You are probably right, but then again the Indons look to have scant respect for anyone else up except for maybe the US and China. But even they cant push the Indons at will.
The Indons do look up to respectable foreign leaders. LHL is not one of them
Those Indonesian Ministers are indeed corrupted and thick skinned. They not only refused their unlawful citizens to be prosecuted but also work in cahoot to protect them. That useless fat pig Siti Nurbaya Bakar, Minister of Environment and Forestry is one such example.
They are also not the least embarrassed and are so thick skinned to even dare to comment that we should all thank them for 11 months of clean air instead. What the fuck is wrong with these people? :oIo:
Who are they then? Are they from the bigger countries?
Who are they then? Are they from the bigger countries?
Dont blame the indon leaders. Blame SG leaders as they dont have clout on the international and regional scene.
Indons bully SG because they dont respect LHL. They are taunting him
Suharto, Habibie, Wahid, Megawati all had respect for LKY
If you dont have the size or some Godfather country backing you then unless you are an exceptionally strong and brilliant leader, which most are not then you can forget about being respected. Even De Gaulle did not respect LKY very much.
LKY is no longer around so thats moot. So we get rid of LHL and who would replace him? Who do you think will command the respect you think others should accord us?
