Taiwan hits back at S'pore's criticism on UN referendum
-
What the fish is Singapore's government thinking? Can't it stfu? Is it necessary to make such comment to "hold" balls for China?
TAIPEI - TAIWAN hit back at Singapore for criticising its plan to go ahead with a referendum on joining the United Nations, calling it 'unacceptable'.
'The foreign ministry deeply regrets... Singapore's comment on our referendum plan as 'provocative and irresponsible.' We find it utterly unacceptable,' it said in a statement on Saturday.
'Taiwan is a sovereign democratic country and a referendum is the basic right of the people. Other countries have no rights to intervene.... We hope the international community will support our bid to join the UN,' it said.
The comment came after Singapore on Friday cautioned that such a move would raise tensions between Taiwan and China.
'The proposal to put Taiwan's UN membership bid under the title 'Taiwan' to a referendum is provocative and irresponsible,' Singapore's foreign ministry said in a statement.
'It can only give false hope to the Taiwanese people, raise cross-straits tensions and reduce Taiwan's international space,' it said.
Taiwan, under its official name, the Republic of China, lost its UN seat to China in 1971. The two sides split in 1949 after a civil war.
Its efforts to rejoin the world body have been repeatedly blocked by Beijing, which regards Taiwan as part of its territory awaiting reunification.
On Monday, President Chen Shui-bian told a visiting US delegation that he will push for a referendum next year on the issue, alongside the March 2008 presidential vote.
Officials here have vowed to go ahead with the referendum despite a warning from key ally Washington not to proceed. -- AFP -
Singapore distrust Taiwan cos' it doubt it can hold its democracy.
Maybe goverment not happy with Ma Ying Joeh and their F5s crashing into our people. -

The problem with MIW, ruling party, is they think they have every right in the world to say anything they like to anyone in their own country or any country in the world. Arrogance contributes to such action.
It is non of their business, they just have the propensity to poke their nose into this UN matter on Taiwan!!! Mind your own business. Nosy parker!!! -
lately the miw have been quarreling with almost every countries, from our immediate neighbours to the nordic countries. they just don't know how to keep their mouths shut!

Aiyah.. with half the Singaporean population stuck with their heads in the ground, the MIW can just bark like raving rabid dogs foaming at the mouth and all of them pretend not to listen.Originally posted by lotus999:lately the miw have been quarreling with almost every countries, from our immediate neighbours to the nordic countries. they just don't know how to keep their mouths shut! -

I know these 2 states too well,both like wayang and play games with PRC,but lately in order to smoonth over the Spore's soliders who were injured and killed during an incident in TW,Silly Sg gov releases this statement in order to pleased PRC gov.
SG 's attitude in the world is the same as their dogs' behaviour here,they r both balls carriers. -
If you need any proof of hypocrisy and double-standards from despots and tyrants, this is it.Originally posted by JackOT:What the fish is Singapore's government thinking? Can't it stfu? Is it necessary to make such comment to "hold" balls for China?
It's a classic case of one exercising a one-dimensional form of freedom of expression.
So much for their talents...

Singapore is hardly the only country in the world currently voicing concern over Taiwan govt's attempt in holding the referendum. While one might think that this is Taiwan's internal affairs and Singapore has no right to comment on it, the truth is, Taiwan's decision on this issue will have a great impact on the region and even the world. Even the US made similar but even stronger protest against Taiwan's decision. As friend of both PRC and ROC, it is not in our interest if the two state/province engage in war, which would be very likely if the referendum produces results that disappoints PRC.
