PM Lee to Obama: ‘You can count on S’pore’
PM could had been more moderate like others:
World leaders have hailed the election of Senator Barack Obama as the first black president of the United States.
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Tuesday's poll historic and said he and Mr Obama "share many values".
Chinese President Hu Jintao said he looked forward to strengthening dialogue. France's Nicolas Sarkozy said the poll had raised "enormous hope".
Outgoing US President George W Bush said Mr Obama could count on "complete co-operation" during the transition.
The president-elect will take over the presidency in January.
Democratic officials quoted by the Associated Press news agency say Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel has been offered the job of Mr Obama's White House chief-of-staff.

World leaders praised Barack Obama for his decisive victory in the U.S. election on Tuesday night, which sowed optimism around the globe over the prospects of improved relations with the U.S.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement congratulating Obama and pledged to "continue to strengthen the special bond" between the two neighbours and top trading partners.
Conservative officials said Wednesday the government sees potential progress in strengthening ties with the Obama government, as it seeks common ground with U.S. Democrats on trade and climate change.

I don't like the phrase "You can count on Singapore".
Obama criticise Lee Kuan Yew, is PM Lee still going to tell USA to "count on" Singapore?

at the end of the day, poh, regardless of what LHL says, it will not sound right to you. nothing he ever says will be liked be you.... so why bother?if LHL says that he and Mr Obama "share many values", won't you also say "what values?"
if LHL says that "he looked forward to strengthening dialogue", you will say that Obama criticised LKY, why would LHL see the need to strengthen dialogue?
if LHL says the pool had raised "enormous hope" you will say, what hope, there's no hope if PAP is in power.

I will be okay with above statements.
I won't criticise.
we all suck up to someone lah,
you suck up Chinese ideology
There seems to be some confusion Chin Eng.
You confuse "suck up" with someone with "follower" of ideology.
Do you say that muslims "suck up" to Islam, or people "suck up" to jesus?
No, we do not.
We must not be confused.

LKY didn't support obama, if u had read the papers a few months back.
he must be blowing his top off that mccain lost.

Seems Chin Eng opposes for the sake of opposing, pathetic really. He many times points fingers at forumers who disagree with PAP rather than pointing at the faults of PAP. Wonder is his motive here to distract people from disagreeing with the evil Pay and Pay.

He supported McCain I think.
It is due to his eugenics crap again?

Of course he does not support obama, he likes the republican. LKY commented that obama has no experience to be President. He should use his bloody fucking brain to think before uttering this nuisance for saying this he is inviting people to point fingers at him and his son. If he wants to make such statement, he should just make sure that before his bloody hopeless son lee hsien loong became PM, lee hsien loong must have experience to become PM.Being an opportunist, I believe now the old dictator is changing his attitude towards obama, without which it is difficult for sg to work with obama.

- suck
up (to sb) (informal, disapproving) to try to please sb in authority by praising them too much, helping them, etc., in order to gain some advantage for yourselfTaken from Oxford Dictionary website.
Keypoints are "trying to please authority in order to gain some advantage for yourself"
So in this context yes, i say they suck up.
Shameless sucking up to powers is correct position to take?
Of course it is, considering these powers have the ability to completely screw you over. You seemed to think dignity and morals somehow ignores the boundaries of power.
- suck

Pursue friendly ties, cooperation, don't try to provoke, respect each other's interests, I consider that to be correct approach.
Shameless sell yourself, suck up to others, I consider wrong approach.
