Taiwan claimed to have helped Singapore substantially 40 years ago to achieve its present day success! The video was aired in 2008 when the GST package started. Photoshop was used to save the images in JPEG but they have not been altered in any way.

For part 1, the main point starts at 7:40 to 7:55.
I was shocked to watch this! This was never mentioned in our history books.

Taiwan wants a share of everything, except if its bad or ISIS.

The way they said it, it's like without Taiwan there is no present day Sg.
Very direct and blunt! What happened to our pioneers' and citizens' own hard work?
they are known for exaggeration, especially that channel
they are not crediting themselves
it's you who think this way
as usual
@fireice: whatever.
The 2nd part mentioned the earliest top-ranking military officers/commanders in Sg were Taiwanese officers! Taiwanese officers helped first trained our 1st batch of NSmen.
1 question, why our history textbooks never mention Taiwan's help at all?
Finds it disrespectful when the host (below grey suit guy) kept referring to us as "pi sai" size country.

Because it doesn't make sense mah.
First batch of NSmen was in 1967.
1960s to 1980s were turbulent times in taiwan, martial law lasted from 1949 to 1980s.
Where they find taiwanese officers from, when Taiwan was under the rule of KMT?
Might as well say China helped us?

Maybe not first batch but early batches. The video never said, the "first" word was my own understanding. Sorry.
In the 3rd part, as per posted printscreens above, the host directly said Taiwan first helped Singapore.
they are the first to help
i think u dont know how to interpret that
My mandarin is beyond half past 6.
You can paste all the screenshots you want, I won't read it.
my mandarin is full 12
i also dont bother to read
bcos the point of this thread is not about what they said in that program
Part 4 is the most "amazing" part 5:07. The guest speaker said Sg learnt strategies and policies from Taiwan and achieved its present day success/profits.

I thought that during that period it is Taiwan who received aid from United States, not the other way round? Beside, those who are familiar with history know that Mr Lee Kwan Yew with his team paid an final visit to Mao Zedong during his last moment and the fact that Deng Xiaopeng also visited LKY, it is unlikely that these event would had happened if Taiwan really play a role in Singapore's 'diplomatic' as they claim???
Everyone helped us. Taiwan is one of them.
#justsaying
Aren't they the ones who compared us to a piece of booger!
we have a long history with taiwan and chiang kai shek was the one who was smart to help singapore out as we are the only chinese society independent other than the china communist in asia which Mr Chiang can trust. i think nobody provide much help to singapore compare to taiwan. or else how can SAF train the solders in taiwan?
it under table as taiwan not recognized as a country by china.

it might be true as both LEE and Chiang had build a close relationship between 2 countries and of cos everything done under table because of mainland problems.
