Singapore is as strong an ally to the USA as the leaders of the nine countries whom Obama called - Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico and South Korea - more so when the Singapore Leadership had given unstinting support to most US policies as much as Australia, Britain, and Israel despite our size.
Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico had broken ranks with the USA on more political and military issues then Singapore has supported; while Japan and South Korea were even more selective.
Despite the unstinting support from SG as an ally - did any US Administration showed the same level of appreciation to SG ?
Only you will pull the wool over your own eyes to believe that "SG leader dunt need American to endorse that SG is important".
What possibly could be the reason for LKY to desparately build a deep sea naval base in Changi that can accomodate a US Navy aircraft carrier - and annoy every South-east Asian countries, when all had wanted the US Military out of the ASEAN region ?
Was it not a fact that LKY was promoting SG to be an important lynch-pin in the US Global reach ?
Surely, your Oz bitterness had blind-sided your views towards PM Rudd - and forgot that his first agenda as PM - was to withdraw Oz troops from Iraq, while SG's Old Man felt that it was important to fly Singapore's flag in a token appearance in Iraq - with an aerial tanker and a naval LST.
Yet for all the negative claims you made, Australia is a member country of the G-8 while for all the self-aggrandizing claims you made about SG's wealth - we are not even a member of the G-8 or even part of the G-20 Countries - which included the richest Asian country - China, and the poorest - Indonesia.
From the calls made by Obama to the 9 leaders - are you suggesting that the other nine countries are poorer, while Singapore is far richer than them ?
From your typical stance taken in this SgForum, you will probably turn a blind eye to the fact that it is the Singapore Government that is rich, while Singaporeans are the poorer lot.
Conversely, the US Government may have incurred a shocking huge national debt that have gained notoriety, many like you have largely ignored the other fact that the Private Wealth in the USA far surpass the Singapore National Reserves or the size of the US National Debt.
The reason for the USA still standing strong - despite the present chaotic economic and financial melt-down - is due largely to its inner strength - compared to the Asian financial crisis of 1997, when many Asian economies were shaken to its core that resulted in total financial collapse in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea.
Despite the present US financial melt-down, the US Dollar remains solid vis-a-vis other currencies, and is still used as a Reserve Currency by many countries.
The solid Gold Bars locked up in Fort Knox remains untouched.
The stupidity and greed of the World Financial Community in swallowing all that the ingenious US Financial System had created - reveal the smartness of not utilising their own internal resources, but to incur the losses onto others.
The US Lehman Brothers had the biggest investment fund subscribers from Asian investors, and the biggest losers of the collapse of Lehman Brothers were Asians not US Citizens.
In your anxiety to blow the horn so loudly on behalf of the SG Government, can you even begin to understand the politics that have been played by the US Private Financial Institutions on the World Community - when the US financial system was de-regulated by the Bush Administration ?
Can we trust your abilitly to differentiate between the debt incurred by the US Private Financial Institutions with the US Government Bonds issued by the US Government ?
From your skewed views of Oz, it will be benefit you more if you start re-reading and try to look into the deeper meanings behind The Wizard of Oz.

Yes but it also takes more than one man to destroy that dream likewise it takes more than one man to destroy another man.
One corrupt man(family) spreading their influence like cancer to the society and region.
I'm a victim of grave abuses from psychotic people in power with access to
telepathic person(s) in Singapore . All abuses are to convince people I'm
mentally ill to cover their grave evil. Telepathy(or remote viewing to be
precise-yea not only merely seeing, or whatever it's called) is not a far off
fiction. It's a fact

only if the people are willing to bear the responsibility for these lofty ideals...
The “narcissist” speaks misleadingly again in lofty tones that fail to acknowledge those Rockwell ideals cannot be attained under the present political leadership even as the "narcissist" will resort to simplistic pictorial displays.
Why accuse the people for not willing to bear the responsibility for these lofty ideals when the political leadership trap themselves and the citizens by abandoning the lofty Citizens' Rights that are enshrined in the Singapore Constitution ?
instead, we see tinpot wannabe dictators inflicting their views on others... when they are democratically thrown out, the vent their spleen on the people.. the people they professed they wanted to serve..
we see people here who think that the government must wipe each person's ass after they take a shit.. ranting against the government not doing enough.. yet.. worshipping the US whose premise is to let the people fend for themselves.. even as we speak there are those who are advocating letting both Wall Street and Main Street go to heck and fend for themselves, recession, depression or whatever...
we find people in Singapore who go to the MPs to demand MPs pay for their personal loans.. after they chalk up such debts from their own idiocy like 4D...
people in here rant and rage over "freedoms" without talking or even recognising that such freedoms require a lot of responsibility... but all we see here is a rejection of their own personal responsibilities..
so.. are we, as a people ready?
are we even one people?
Can we be one people - when the political leadership sees Singaporeans as those who are Talented being more superior and are more equal than those who are less Talented, or without any Talent ?
You constantly rant about others being tin-pot wannabe despots, even as you express cynicism to these "wanna-be despots" exposing the "present tinpot despots" for all their scandalous policies and despicable acts.
Yet you will claim to oppose the "present tinpot despots" for the same reasons but prefer in-action on your own part.
If the Government has caused the citizen to suffer from stress related diarrhea, should it not be expected for the Government to wipe our arse - and even if they are not expected to wipe our arse, should it not be expected that the least to be done is for them to provide the toilet papers ?
Can we trust a narcissist to leave the hawker blameless for causing food-poisoning ?
We certainly can trust your judgment in your comparison of "the fool expecting the MP's wages to settle a gambling debt" to those who sacrifice the "future of their careers and the future of their families' simply to be "wannabe tinpot despots".
Surely you must be an entrenched “narcissist” made worst by your cynicism towards anyone, or any issues that offends your own inpotent inadequacies to a full life ?
Can Singapore ever hope to excel from its present status, and become a true melting pot - when we have cynical narcissists around that sabotages the spirit of daring, of experimentation, and the willingness to face the unknown ?
With characters like you around - no wonder LKY claim that Singaporeans lack the talent and the entrepreneurship and allowed him to cling on to power since 1957.

Only the noisy pussy pretending to be a lion will also pretend that there is "No Monkey Business" with billions in the reserve.
Try again if you want to truly roar like a lion instead of being a pussy.
Mrs Goh Chok Tong claimed that the amount paid to NKF Durai was peanuts - we surely got a monkey to work in the top desk at NKF and made a monkey out of her as the patron of NKF - and also Ministers Lim Hng Kian and Khaw Boon Hwan who had both defended the NKF monkey paid peanuts.
Why blame the US and UK Government for the sub-prime problems - when the problems were largely created by the Private Banking Sector that were given the wide space to exercise their creativity ?
You should have listened to your friend from your "animal world" - [the narcissist Bear] - in blaming governments less, and take private responsibility for the greed of the private individuals that allowed the sub-prime to grow on such international scale.
Should we not blame the Singapore Government for allowing the Singapore Banks to offer those fancy named foreign mini-bonds to Singaporeans ?
What happened to your red-meat eating lions that guard Singapore ?
Obviously "cheap things are never good, and good things are never cheap" - can a cheap pussy ever hope to become a real lion ?
Can a lion accept any training to guard the Billion Dollar Reserves after being accustomed to being fed too much red meat, or will the lion become sleepy after a good feed ?
What will you do when the lion develop a discerning and an insatiable appetite for better and more expensive red meat, before he is willing to guard the Billion Dollar Reserves "efficiently" ?
By then perhaps we should then look for a cheap pussy in a noisy lion to do the job of the real lion.
