Will President Trump punish Singapore severely for buying 1.8 million tonnes IE 33% of Russian sanctioned oil?
Be prepared for the worst to come.

In his previous term as President, Trump did the following
1. Withdraw US from TPP, PM Lee's brain child
2. Taxpayers paid S$20 M for his stay in SG
3. Told PM Lee to pay $13.8 B for 39 Boeing
4. Attacked us as 3rd world status in WTO
What will he think of next?
Your guess

Strangely illogical in comparison
Ex MP Iswaran went to jail for accepting a fully paid trip to middle east
While taxpayers paid almost S$20 mio for Trump and Kim for holiday in Singapore : nothing happened?

Be prepared for the worst
Besides both US neighbours, Canada and Mexico, Trump already punished China and India.
Who's next?

Transparent Australia will never followed other countries to cheat
You ll never find MNCs setting Regional HQ for tax avoidance in Australia.
On the contrary, other countries were siphoning Australia Corporate Taxes over the past 20-25 years.

B4 dishing out any punishment, Trump should be aware that Singapore abides by international law and rule of law ..
In addition, Trump should also be informed that Singapore never take sides .
Singapore based on Principles
Don't know what Trump will say about that?
