特金会大赢家 新加坡红了
新加坡在全球瞩目的美朝峰会期间不只是“斟茶递水”，也是特金会的最大赢家。有关特金会的报道过去几周攻占全球媒体版面，国际意义不言而喻。受访经济分析师和智库总监指出，这次峰会不仅大大提升了“新加坡品牌”，更将新加坡摆上国际舞台，使到“新加坡”这名字红火了起来，所得到的关注是无价的。
联昌国际私人银行经济师宋生文接受《联合晚报》访问时说，尽管新加坡是世界一级方程式（F1）这项国际体育赛事的主办方，也曾因举办过青年奥运会受到国际关注，但这些都主要是体育版的新闻。
“过去几天，不论是日韩还是欧美媒体，都将峰会放上头条新闻，这所展现的国际意义不言而喻……从国际角度来看，这样去推动‘新加坡品牌’所得到的关注是无价的，至少世人都知道新加坡在哪里。”
独立智库新加坡国际事务学会安全与全球事务总监方国威也说，新加坡获选为东道国是对我国的极大认可。
“这不仅显示了新加坡安全、保安到位且稳定的环境，也显示新加坡是一个获得所有伙伴信赖的诚实中间人。与此同时，特金会连续几周占据全球媒体封面和头条，大大提升了新加坡这个品牌。”
宋生文也指出，新加坡很明显是依靠贸易及商品服务推动经济，而特金会绝对是一场“特别的会议展览与奖励旅游”（简称MICE）活动。
他认为，对特金会这类高调并敏感的会谈而言，最重要的就是在一个中立的地方举行。而新加坡就是那个安全而且中立的举办地点。
“新加坡在哪” 谷歌搜索人数暴增
等了将近70年才促成的美朝首脑会谈昨早约9时在新加坡举行，让我国成为全球瞩目的焦点，在谷歌上搜索“新加坡在哪里”（Where is Singapore）的人数暴增。
根据谷歌趋势（Google Trend）的统计数据，昨早9时04分时，全球对新加坡的关注度飙升至顶点，许多网民在特金会开始后搜索“新加坡在哪里”。
这个词组的搜索欢迎程度在昨早9时04分时达最高100点，比8时40分美朝领导人会晤前的50点高出一倍。
除了新加坡，全球也把目光聚焦在这次的主办场地圣淘沙嘉佩乐酒店。
本月6日午夜，白宫宣布选中嘉佩乐酒店为美朝领导人会谈的地点后，嘉佩乐酒店当天的搜索欢迎程度立即从“谷底”升至100点。
特金会把新加坡放到国际舞台上，许多外国媒体在播报特金会新闻时都在新加坡的地标前取景，或是拍摄到新加坡的景观，例如圣淘沙、滨海湾和乌节路等。
韩国中央东洋广播公司（JTBC）更是在滨海湾搭建临时新闻播报室，以滨海湾金沙酒店为背景，把新加坡景观带到全世界。

"The streets were crowded with wellwishers who were full of reverence for Chairman Kim, who has come to lead world politics with his extraordinary political acumen", she said.
Kim was "warmly welcomed" by crowds "wherever he appeared", according to the voiceover, as the footage cut to a scene of Kim strolling through the Gardens by the Bay accompanied by Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, as crowds strained to take smartphone pictures.

Trump Kim summit: Imagine a North Korean family
BBC News 14 June 2018
copyright HAJUNG LIM
After his landmark meeting with leader Kim Jong-un, US President Donald Trump said he would consider dropping sanctions against North Korea, once it's made progress on nuclear disarmament.
But how might this economic change make its way through to ordinary people in the impoverished country long shut off from the outside world? What would it mean for an average North Korean family?
With the help of some experts, the BBC has tried to imagine life for a hypothetical North Korean family, the Lees. This is their story.
The father has to risk his life to fish
For starters, it's hard to talk about an "average" North Korean family. There are many social classes and regional differences - and we simply don't know much about life inside the country.
But our father, Mr Lee, like many North Koreans officially relies on the mining industry for work.
Mining has been a crucial pillar of North Korea's exports and a reliable source of foreign currency for the government for decades. In addition to coal, North Korea says it has huge reserves of rare earths and minerals.
We know from defectors and experts that most people's income is a mix of salary, bonuses and state-distributed goods like housing or rations. But the actual base salary is a pittance which won't buy more than rice for a few days.
In 2017, sanctions banned the export of coal, minerals and rare earths - meaning many mines had to cut their output.
There is supposed to be no "unemployment" in a command economy, so Mr Lee will not have been laid off - but his already paltry income would have received a fatal blow.
So Mr Lee had no choice but to turn to a precarious path many other North Korean men have taken in recent years.

By bribing his mining bosses to turn a blind eye - and paying the military to borrow a boat - he and his friends can head out to sea to catch fish to sell at local markets.
It is a dangerous business. Fishermen have been forced to venture further and further out to sea to secure a good catch, risking running out of fuel or getting lost at sea.
Occasionally "ghost ships" full of corpses have washed up on the shores of western Japan - presumed to be crews who couldn't make it back to shore. This is the risk that Mr Lee has to take now.
And, although the fishing offers a valuable source of alternative income for entrepreneurs like him, it, too, has been affected by sanctions.
Fuel prices have doubled since summer 2017 making his sea trip a lot more expensive. And seafood exports to China have recently been banned.

Mum heads to the market
The Lee family are part of what pundits call the Jangmadang generation. Jangmadang means "market". This is the generation which experienced the crisis and famine of the 1990s.
Up until then, the country had been soldiering on as a communist command economy, with all work and goods distributed by the state.
But during the famine that structure failed. It's estimated between several hundred thousand and one million people starved to death.
Citizens were forced to make ends meet on their own, sparking the rise of a native capitalism which has proved to be irreversible.
Although it emerged from crisis, it has in fact brought a new mindset to the country - with many women becoming entrepreneurs, and the main breadwinners in their families.
It is something our miner-turned-fisherman's wife is also considering.
She is working in a textile factory - a sector that used to thrive due to exports to China.
But sanctions have put an end to that and many other factories have already been closed.

Knowing she cannot rely on her current job, she has been thinking about alternatives: plan B is to get together with a few other women and make tofu at home to sell at the market.

'Dream job' in jeopardy
There is another lifeline for the Lee family - remittances from a relative working abroad.
Mrs Lee's brother has been working on construction sites in Russia and sending much needed money back home.
He managed - again via the necessary bribes - to land what for all his peers is an absolute dream job.
It's estimated that as many as 100,000 North Koreans work abroad and even though the government takes a big cut, they still earn a lot more than they would make at home.
But under UN sanctions approved in December, all North Korean nationals working abroad will have to return home within 24 months - and no new workers can be sent abroad.

Pulled out of school
If their financial situation gets worse, the Lees might have to take their daughter out of school so she can help her mother at the market.
North Korean children are expected to attend 12 years of mandatory schooling - but children in poorer families do get pulled out of school to help at home.
Classes sometimes get cancelled when the teachers need to work at markets for extra cash.
If sanctions ease, the Lees would get more reliable sources of income - as would the government - and their daughter could have more time to study (and play) instead of helping her parents.
And her school curriculum - which currently teaches that the US and South Korea are enemies of Pyongyang - could change as well.
Most North Koreans are aware that much of the outside world is better off than they are - whether it's via illegally distributed films or TV shows from South Korea, or workers coming back from their stints abroad.
And the leadership fears internal opposition much more than US troops stationed in the South or Japan - which is probably why Kim Jong-un is so eager to see sanctions lifted.
The BBC talked to Andrei Lankov of Kookmin University, Sokeel Park of Liberty in North Korea, Fyodor Tertitskiy and Peter Ward of NK News, Andray Abrahamian of Griffith University and to Daily NK to build up this picture of the hypothetical Lee family.

It truly shows the por lum pah skills of Singapore government
The last part of the video, Bui Kim, was telling the translator : " tell Vivien, if he ever come to NK to work, & looses 300 million dollars USD, I will make sure that , I will strap him to a barrel with his bum facing upwards & aim the anti aircraft missiles at it"... ha ha ha ha ha

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday defended President Trump’s decision to salute a North Korean military officer, calling it “common courtesy.”

“It’s a common courtesy when a military official from another government salutes that you return that,” she said.
North Korea's KCTV news channel aired footage from Trump's recent summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The video shows Trump shaking hands with Kim and another North Korean official.
The president then reaches out to shake the hand of a North Korean officer standing in uniform next to Kim. The officer, apparently confused, salutes Trump instead, prompting the president to salute back.
Reports identified the North Korean military officer as No Kwang Chol, a three-star general.

Treason or respect? Trump draws ire for returning North Korean general’s salute (VIDEO)

Footage of the US President returning the salute of a North Korean general has set off his domestic critics, who have accused Donald Trump of showing respect for a “murderous regime” in Pyongyang.
Video released Thursday by North Korea shows the meeting of the two delegations on Monday in Singapore. As Trump goes down the line and shakes the hands of Kim and his aides, a North Korean general offers a salute – and Trump returns it.
“Trump first extends his hand, to which the General responds with a salute. Trump salutes back, then extends his hand again & the two men shake hands,” CNN correspondent Will Ripley tweeted.
The network described it as “an extraordinary display of respect from a US president to a top officer of a hostile regime,” and devoted much of its programming on Thursday to it.
Trump’s critics quickly seized on the salute as proof of the president’s hypocrisy, arguing he was dishonoring America by saluting a foreign officer while condemning football players kneeling during the national anthem. Some have even accused Trump of “treason.”
“It's a common courtesy, when a military official from another government salutes, that you return” the salute, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said at a press briefing on Thursday.
Several former members of the US military have pointed out that the North Korean was showing respect for the US president by offering the salute first, and that there was nothing wrong with Trump returning the gesture. According to military protocol in both the US and North Korea, the lower-ranking individual always initiates the salute, which is returned by their superior.
Trump and Kim held a historic meeting on Monday, agreeing to continue talks on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and reaching a peace treaty that would end the Korean War, frozen since a 1953 armistice. The US has suspended joint war games with South Korea, while Kim promised he would destroy a missile testing site. Stocks of major US weapons manufacturers tumbled following the summit.
