Singapore Prime Minister asks Filipinos, “are you sure you want to be a Battleground?”

Here is the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong during a moderated dialogue with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum Gala Dinner last November 8, 2023 where at one point in the Dialogue when he was being asked about the South China Sea (SCS), he sort of unbelievingly asked the Filipinos, “are you sure you want to be a Battleground?”

I felt sort of ashamed as a Filipino that he even had to ask something like this, and of course the Answer should’ve been a big NO, not over some Rocks in the middle of the Ocean while we are practically just giving away Sabah to Malaysia and Itu Aba to Taiwan. Note that I think this is how the rest of South East Asia (SEA) sees the Philippines right now, it’s not just Singapore.
