USA: Singapore fight to China, we'll protect you.
Singapore: Why we fight to China?
USA: we need you fight to China, because we are strategic partners.
Singapore: we are not as stupid as Afghanistan, if you want you go please.

PM Lee has been keeping on referring to this region as Asia Pacific and not Indo-Pacific, not only here but also in other public discussions. This is the correct description of this region. This is Asia.

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser just before he passed away in 2015 stated that the worst mistake any country would make would be to align its foreign policy with the US.

Thank you, Singapore 🇸🇬 for all you do in the region for peace and stability. When I lived in Japan 🇯🇵, we hosted Singapore many times and I spoke on stage in Singapore. You have a magnificent land, Sentosa Island, famed Merlion, wonderful culture, zesty food, and stunning people.

Human rights?? What a BS. I CANT BREATH!!! After afghan, now want to disturb Sea.
US role is no longer welcome anymore.

After this news conference, the true identity revealed between the actor and the leader.

At this stage, the US just looks like an emperor with no clothes.

[Gemashero]

Suggest Madam President spends time to solve human right in USA before lecturing other about human right.

[wangjim]

No one ask the VP how many Afghan refugees the US ultimately take in and by when. The US made a big mess in Afghanistan, so need to take responsibility seriously, not just talking about it.

[erickhoo]

It’s amazing she can keep a straight face when talking about security threat and regional safety when all we see is Afghanistan and the s*** they left behind.

When Lotus Kamala open her mouth, Singaporean exclaimed, “alamak” what does this mean ? Good or Bad, ask Kamala, not thinking her name was spell in reverse.
When she passed a advertisement sign with the word “ Alamak” she cackle & said to herself, they are honouring me .

I pray for peace in the world. No matter if it is US, Singapore, Afghan or asia, I pray for peace for all. I pray that we learn that we learn to love a little more, forgive a little more and help a little more

[genghispan]

Thanks PM Lee for representing us, thought he answered the questions very well. We may be small but don’t count us out! 🇸🇬 Hope VP Kamala Harris is having a pleasant trip here in Singapore 🙂

KH not so cleverly side stepped questions raised on US withdrawal from Afghan, poor scripted response

[Khabib-zw]

Ya we see the united states crediblity already and how messy the evacuation was, afghans dropping out from plane, and no condolence for the inocent civilians that died, and still has the cheek to say they are the global leaders,

[tinatang]

Please do not agree to transport the Afghan refugees to ASEAN! Only transport them to the USA, which is where they wish to emigrate to, anyway.

23:36 PM Lee answered the Rueters reporter question better than VP Harris.

[ABCABC-xfcr]

All the way from US to Singapore to talk about evacuation from Afghanistan and which has got nothing to do with Singapore. And for a cyber security agreement with the top-hacker that hacks its own allies.

[fredh]

Mrs Harris, you are Asian. I can see in your eyes that after going abroad to Asia you realized how wonderful and peaceful it is. I would suggest to ditch the US and join the new Asian century. You will realize that Asians have what it takes to make a beautiful and peaceful coexistence society regardless of the color of your skin. Join us!

LHL handled difficult questions skillfully, in other word, he saved Harris from embarrassment with her half baked answer
