You watch... the Chicoms will use things like this to establish the idea that Chinese were in SE Asia for a long time. After all, during the Ming dynasty, Zheng He sailed a fleet to Brunei, Java, Thailand, etc. and it can be argued that Chinese settlers were there since at least these times. So therefore, these areas are a natural part of China, the way the South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Taiwan are too. China expands territory via absorption and assimilation, like the Borg. The arrival of all the Tiongs in recent years is just part of the process. They are not loyal to Singapore, they are loyal to the "motherland" and themselves alone. LKY must be spinning in his grave.
