When Russia nationalized foreign nations' asset, Whose interest lost? When we don't gain any thing but the loss of Singapore's investments in 4 Russian airports already happened.
What do we get from sanctioning Russia? plp US only, right?
.
There will be economic losses when we do economic sanctions.
But if we don't do it we can lose much more ...like a rules based international order critical to our survival.
If we say its okay for a big country to invade a small country...we put ourselves at risk as thus can be used against us.
Singapore has fighters and ships and a sizable defense force what is there to stop a big country to use a faux justification to say they feel threatened by Singapore and have right to invade us.

Investments gone not heavy losses?
What interest or gain from the sanction?
You mean if we don't sanction, Singapore will be invaded?
Singapore also almost invaded Malaysia when Mahathir wanted to stop water supply. Is it because Malaysia didn't sanction others?
Don't be naive!!!

SgFett, Don't give such stupid reason "Sanction Russia so that Singapore won't be invaded".
Singapore almost invaded Malaysia on water supply issue.
It is not because Malaysia didn't sanction other countries, ok?
If we sanction for invasion, then, we should also sanction US for so many invasions all over the world including invasion of Iraq.

Any rule-based international order advocate should be applied to all consistently instead only selectively applied on certain country only. US can break all international rules all the time and no one cares.
Otherwise it can become an international clown.

I am so glad Singapore made such blatant mistake. It would not be good for Singaporeans if they don't.
