SINGAPORE : Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has said China may become an advanced world power in 50 years' time, but it does not mean that Singapore will be squeezed out.
Speaking at a dialogue on Tuesday evening, Mr Lee said Singapore's relationship with China is changing over time, and will continue to change.
He added that for Singapore to be an effective player on the world stage, it must retain its point of view, and not become a satellite of bigger economies like the US, Japan or China.
Mr Lee said: "We are a little red dot but we are a special red dot. We are connected with the world, we play a special role. And we are not going to be in anybody's pocket.
"And if we lose that status, we are meaningless. Because of our status as independent actors, independent observers of situation, when we say something, they say yes that is a Singapore point of view and very often a realistic point of view." - CNA/ms -

What status??.........interesting opinion....

The only thing that prevent Singapore from being meaningless is its money so it can pocket less wealthy neighboring countries and pretend to be superpower. Mind you the word PRETEND.
Perhaps that's the status that this despot was referring to -

What he means is Singapore's investment opportunity in China in 50 years time, hence the reason why we need to have a large reserve to do that.
