If US invited Singapore then, North Korea will also be invited.

This joker Chirag Argawal makes commentary like a wet behind the ears JC student preparing for A Level exams, whining like an emotional teenager of not being invited by Uncle Sam to the party. His neophyte deep dive point by point rebuttal of how unjustified the decision is using the mechanics of our election is idiotic.
Who the heck cares about what reasons? Which attendee is turning up because he really cares for "democracy"? Even an idiot knows this is yet another geopolitical posturing.
Strategically speaking, Singapore not being invited is the best possible outcome for us from a national interest perspective. LHL, Vivian, HEN have all made it clear in multiple international forums and interviews that Singapore will not take sides in the China-US contest. An invitation to Singapore would have put us in really difficult spot.

Yep, that's why not invited is the best thing that happen to Singapore. Can continue to act blur and not get sucked into this nonsense.
To think we have a joker at Today who actually gets indignant for not being invited to some silly photo op press conference...

Actually to see who is also not being invited gives us a good sense of who we are being lumped with. I don't see China, Russia, North Korea on the invite list either 
What the heck. Even Malaysian and Iraq is invited, but of course not Iran, Syria, Afghanistan. So, we are in good company?
