Well, they do it for a reason and frankly I do not blame them....
Best way to avoid all these is to migrate like what many of us have done....

Only way out is if Sillypore blows up the soil foundations and we float away to some peaceful country like Greenland huh...Fat hope....it has always been like that and it will always be like that -

Hey, Coq, are you Singaporean? If you do, are you one of those who've migrated due to your mentally towards this region? Well. I wish you well [wish someone in your adopted country realise you're a Singaporean, realise that Singaporeans can be bullied. So they can beat the crap outta you and steal all your stuff

Why hah, why neighbors all dun like spore?
1st the one on our north, then south one also, then now 1 door away up in north also dun like.
Like we go everywhere, everywhere people also dun like? Last time go indonesia, then thailand, now both also have problems. Now go until India, pretty soon we will be running out of neighbors.
Or is it, our leaders go everywhere, step on everybody toes? -

I think they feel played out by selling off their national asset to a foreign govt. And its not helped by the fact that the buyer is a heavily govt influenced company.
I mean, its one matter if a commercial company, eg: Microsoft (for sake of discussion) come in to purchase Shin Corp. But its another matter if one government comes to buy. Can you imagine if Malaysia governent linked company come in & purchase SIA ? How would you think?
Like it or not, Temasek is owned by the government and to the world, it is the government. It is the commercial side of the government that runs like a company. Heck, even the whole country is run like a company.
Its understandable that the Thais felt played out. If you look at Singapore, laws are in place that no one individual, let alone foreign company can own the companies deemed as strategic assets - SIA, Singtel, DBS, SPH.
Anyways, this is not the first time that our 'investments' have hit a bind - Suzhou Industrial Park is another glaring example. -

Aiyoh, like dat how ah?
Give you 10 neighbors also not enuf, make everybody tu lung with us.....shake head...... -
Actually, WHO asked for all this trouble?
I'm sure, WE didn't, right? -
As Thailand claims, the shin corp buy-out was illegal:
Thailand's commerce ministry had earlier investigated allegations that Temasek had used a holding company as a nominee shareholder of Shin Corp to get around a 49 per cent limit on foreign ownership of telecommunications companies.
If the Thais investigate and have conclusive evidence that the takeover was not in accordance with the law, they may well push ahead with their threat to re-take Shin Corp, and there is NOTHING SG can do about it, except file an appeal to the international court. In the long run, Temaesk may even write-off the total loss as another expensive TUITION FEE, one which we seem to pay for regularly, at the cost of taxpayer's monies due to poor and ill-researched decisions left in the hands of half-baked 'CEOs' leading govt-link corporations.
"Of course they broke the law. This was pointed out by the initial investigation by the Ministry of Commerce," Mr Sittichai said.
"The investigation has gone quiet after it was passed to the police, but now we are reviving it and it will be sent to the Department of Special Investigations. I think it will not take long before we decide whether to send the case to court," he said, adding that the probe would be wrapped up in a matter of months. -
whats so shocking about our neighbours doesnt like us... do we singaporeans like our govt ? not many
those countries probably have their reasons. ITsnot always about jealousy. dont be naive -

well said. we should look at ourselves in the mirror and reflect. if you dont have any friends do you blame the whole world for not appreciating you or you reflect yourself first?
In fact singaporean are not so well like in many countries for lotsa reason.
why do we always have problem with countries that seem lower than us? and suck up those like americans, britons, and EU country? -
I think the issue will be viewed in a different light if Temasek Holdings is a truly commercial company not tinged by the government. In this case, its a pure commercial dealing & its easier for folks to swallow.
