Originally posted by Sudaimiki:Please keep in mind that Singapore has its own fair shares of diplomatic snares with other nations as well. Humans by nature are not perfect and governments, being made up by people, are not perfect as well. It is not possible to ensure good diplomatic relationships with all nations every time.
i presume u meant the flor contemplacion murder trial? the maid case and the michael fay case for that matter, was both resolved through due legal process.Originally posted by Sudaimiki:The maid case was one of them. But I do hope you keep this discussion constructive. I am here to discuss the issue objectively and I do not wish for this to degrade to name calling on both sides.
Originally posted by CX:I agree that our diplomats could have gone a little too far in doing so. But have you all wondered what accumulated to them doing this action? Our diplomats are answerable to our own people as well.

we're not exactly enemies with USA and the Philipines now. we try not to ruffle too many diplomatic feathers at any one time too.
and i am saying it as it is. your diplomats are immatured spoilt brats who don't know basic manners, much less observe diplomatic protocol.
What about LKY going on diplomatic visits to the former Soviet Union when Singapore is still a part of Malaysia? Is that the protocol as well? Each side has done something that on hindslight we as outsiders feel is wrong. We should not judge a nation for the actions of a few. I can assure you that Malaysians on the whole do not behave as such.
just as hosts are obligated to honour their guests, guests are expected to pay common courtesy to their hosts and not insult them. they arrived late, abruptly changed the agenda and left without eating the meals we, as hosts prepared for them. u call that good manners?
I agree that your side plays alot on legalistic position...but have you all considered the emotional aspect of the problem? You may win in the court...but do you all ensure good relationships with your neighbours in at the same time. Of course, I am not claiming that Malaysia is a saint in dealing with such issues...we have ruffled many feathers as well...but the point I wish to make is that there are too many causes which leads to the outcome that we see.
we may be legalistic and unwilling to yield but thats because the legal position enables us to. and protocol is always observed.
I agree that our diplomats could have gone a little too far in doing so. But have you all wondered what accumulated to them doing this action? Our diplomats are answerable to our own people as well.you mean they were catering to a local audience? well... i guess one is being naive in assuming that foreign policy is notmerely an extension of domestic policy.
