The current tensions over China's Ren'ai Reef and Huangyan Island in South China Sea has touched upon the core issue of ownership, said former Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo, highlighting the Philippines' role in igniting the situation by attempting to repair a stranded ship.

What UNCLOS tribunal? It was the Permanent Court of Arbitration based in the Hague. It is not a UN entity and does not have legal enforceable powers unless the disputing parties pre-agree to its ruling. China did not participate in the arbitration.

chyna intentionally did not participate in the arbitration because chyna knows it has no basis and cannot win the case on its 12 dash line claim which appeared out of thin air and fed info to their citizens who are unable to verify its truthfulness due to limited information from their censored search engines and distorted history books.
Philippines never took the case to United Nations - united states took the case to PCA (arbitration court) founded and funded by American Businessmen with China not involving ... how can there be a settlement
It's like this: I used to let my neighbours kids play on my drive and garden because they didn't have anywhere to play in their home. After all, they were just kids. Then they grew up and now they think my drive belongs to them, and they want to park their car on it! They even tried the "ownership by usage" scam, as if their use in the past meant they had owned it.

"Letting your neighbor's children play on your driveway was like offering a refreshing drink on a hot day - a kind gesture meant to quench a temporary thirst. It doesn't translate to an open invitation to set up camp. Their entitlement to park there is like trying to claim ownership of the beach because you built sandcastles on it as a child. The past doesn't erase boundaries.
thank you Mr Yeo for speaking about the perculiarity of a South ChinaSea tribunal without China participation

The arbitral tribunal is a voluntary arbitration court. Both parties have to agree that the arbiter have the final say. And will abide by the judgment. Since China was not present. The arbitration cannot proceed. So the judgement is a sham. The Philippine government was taken for a ride by the "arbiter"

As singaporean, fully agree. UNCLOS official court is ICJ or ITLOS, part of UN. PCA is commercial institution, not part of UN but rent same building with ICJ at the Hague. so it is a clever play. Arbitrary process aside, it needs both parties to agree to refer to 3rd party as arbitral ti judge their case. China disagree and not presented and didnt pay the cost. All cost paid by PH to create this drama.

China inherited the SCS claim from the former government of Republic of China (now based in Taiwan). After WW2, the ROC is one of the 4 Victors in the Far-East and claimed back all the islands occupied by Japan in the SCS under the permission of the USA. At that time all these small countries in the regions are colonies of western powers. The Philippines used to be Spanish colony and after the American-Spanish War it became the U.S. colony, as a colony of the U.S. or Spain none of the islands in the SCS belonged to the Philippines. 30 years later in the 1979s after oil was discovered in the SCS the Philippines and many other newly independent countries started claiming or fighting for islands in the SCS. Despite China / Taiwan claims the entire SCS, in reality China only controls 7 and Taiwan controls 2 islands and the Philippines controls 13 islands and Vietnam controls 18 islands, so China didn’t bully any countries, every country controls some islands in the SCS, negotiations are ongoing among all the countries that are having disputes to one another not just China and the Philippines. However the U.S. takes advantage of the situation trying to make China a big bully in the SCS while most of the countries in the Southeast Asia don’t support war or confrontation as a way to resolve the disputes, none of these countries supports the Philippines as they are fully aware what is going on.😂

Some of asean countries have no claim that's why the philippine has thee right to pursue their claim under international law
He job is to talk like he know every thing.
Philippine not consult asean cause it was bias to china, asean owe their food from china
All countries must t include because that west philippine sea or south ciina sea is a passage wY of import and export shipping trade
Listen to him, consider what he has to say, but also know who you listen to, besides knowing that he is a former foreign minister of Singapore. George Yeo is a Singapore citizen, not a citizen of the PRC. He is ethnically Chinese like the majority in Singapore. His tenure as former foreign minister ceased when he lost his seat in a 2011 general election. In a 2022 interview as a private citizen, he accepts the label of being pro-China. Search the internet for an article in Singapore mainstream media using "Me pro-China? I accept the label George Yeo".
So, former Singaporean FM Yeo clearly sides w/ China's illegal claims! Phil's. initiative to protect its territorial rights by seeking the arbitral ruling in Hague is a sovereign right while ASEAN remained dull, unresponsive and apathetic to the issue while it was discussed in past ASEAN collaborations by Manila! Singapore doesn't feel the actual pressures of Chinese hegemony activities happening in real time in the Phils.!
His ex. job is FM of Singapore . His current job is a talker making big $ out of his ex job. Talk is business but stop using the former title as it may confuse people where he represents.
interesting... "ph did not consult asean, so asean felt no obligation to support the ph" it seems it more like this statement requiring asean permission rather than getting asean opinion. but aren't asean raise concern that china claim most of that sea when it is in the middle of asean 😂

Why quarrel? For your information, there are international laws that govern countries so that there would be common prosperity and peace. But sadly, propagandist countries like to expand their territories to gain more power over other countries...claiming large expanse of areas not legally recognized by its neighbors. Such is what is happening in the West Philippine sea. Its called South China sea only because it is referred to the biggest land mass beside it and has nothing to do with ownership. Otherwise, there would be no question and issues w/ any country. If somebody sail the seas even during the beginning of time, that doesn't mean ownership of the seas. There are laws and territorial boundaries the world have set to prevent incursion and conflict.
No single country can claim the whole of South China Sea unless it's a giant lake within the mainland. Will disagree with former S'pore FM who has no territorial quarrels with China. Might is not right & lost in translation cannot be an excuse. Be fair to smaller neighbours who fear tweaking the dragon's tail.

Of course, either China's politicians paid this man on their defense or he's practically ignorant. Frankly, other ASEAN countries doesn't have the balls to stand up and defend what is theirs and only the Philippines (Vietnam too though in a smaller capacity) has the guts to stand up to China's false claims to the entire South China Sea. China isn't in the UNCLOS report because of their refusal to recognize international law, depending rather to enforce their own domestic laws that doesn't apply to international waters, including their continued illegal trespass into the Philippine's exclusive economic zone that coincidentally also includes the Second Thomas Shoal, Scarborough shoal, and a whole lot of other areas. The nine dash line claim by China is laughable, trying to flex their imaginary muscle to smaller neighbors with the thought that nobody can stand up to them.

Philippines is the only ASEAN with the balls to stand up to the bullies. Just like all bullies they whimper and become cowards when someone their size meets them. No difference in this case, Chynah acts tough with Philippines but whines and biotches when they see the US. Chinese and their little wontons get ready for another century of humiliation.

But China also have arguement with Japan, concerning Senkakyu Island. Some territorial terrain dispute with India. How do you explain that? Except that China is just being aggressive and bully.

They have one thing in common, being the lapdogs of the same master. You know that. China has been a super power for centuries but fell from the top in the recent 100 years only. If China was an aggressor , then all the countries you mentioned would be part of China.

Bongbong Marcos has yet to pay half billion US dollars after he lost a court case in US in the 1990s. Imagine how much the amount is at today's currency. That is why he is obligated to support US.

No valid claims just BS so called super power. Get ready for another century of humiliation. Over 1 billion people and couldnt produce anyone proficient in the universal language, English? Meanwhile a nation of 100-120 million people could! Making backdoor deals with low ranking officials when no nation will validates agreements. Century of humiliation is fun already. I have some magic beans, if you grow them they will produce a plant that will grow into the sky. If climb the plant into the sky it will lead you to more gold than the eye can see. I wonder if Chy nah will buy them? Based off of their history i think they would.
