Citizens are well nurtured and too discipline and that is where they climb over our head and bully us. Every GE, I wil give them my thumbs down.

Why unfriendly Biden delivered PM Lee a sidekick?

Why Our Law Minister and Foreign Minister should react ?

[Scythian]

I do agree with you, but I suspect US may not see us as totally democratic......................

President Biden classified Singapore a autocrat

Thus, PM Lee was disqualified

I seldom heard Biden mentioned about Singapore leh!  Small red dot useless one lah!

[Scythian]

Biden sent a strong message to the world that Singapore is an autocrat.

Thus, with 110 world's leaders invited, only PM Lee was left out of Democracy meeting in Washington.

Why Biden treated PM Lee differently?

Biden left out Singapore as the worst of the worst who are invited.


Who’s In and Who’s Out From Biden’s Democracy .
Summary:  Biden’s team has announced the list of invitees to the U.S. president’s summit on democracy. Who is included—and what does this say about U.S. 

The invitations are out for U.S. President Joe Biden’s democracy summit on December 9–10. Which countries did Biden’s team settle on, and why were they selected?

WHO WAS INVITED?
The current mix of invitees includes liberal democracies, weaker democracies, and several states with authoritarian characteristics (such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Pakistan). Rather than limit participation to a core group of committed democracies, Biden’s team opted for a big tent approach (see table 1 below). The majority of invitees—seventy-seven countries—rank as “free” or fully democratic, according to Freedom House’s 2021 report. Another thirty-one invitees rank as “partly free.” Finally, three countries fall into the “not free” camp (see figure 1).



Combining Freedom House’s index scores with tallies from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project yields revealing results. Eight invitees fall exceptionally low on these democracy rankings, raising troubling questions about their invitations: Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kenya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Serbia, and Zambia. Four additional invitees prompt serious backsliding concerns due to heightened levels of autocratization or big declines in freedom of expression over the past ten years: Brazil, India, the Philippines, and Poland. (Granted, Freedom House and V-Dem measure country performance for 2020, making data lag an issue—especially for countries experiencing emergent political crises, such as Tunisia, or newly reforming countries, like Zambia)"

Only one year earlier, widely reported that Singapore PM Lee purchased 51 Boeing planes costing billions, but now, The White House is Out of Bounds.

Today, Chinese Imperial Palace main entrance is also closed leaving only side gate opened for servants and Uber Eats delivery.

On hindsight, PM Lee paying almost $20 millions taxpayers money inviting Ex US President Trump (Biden's foe) to Singapore was the greatest mistakes .. backfired!

Miscalculated, could be stepping on someone's tail?
