Channel reeks of PAP vibes 😊
One of the best YLB episodes!
Thank you guy for a non bias episode. Appreciate it.
It was refreshing to listen to Shanmugam talk outside of Parliament and in the news. Too often he sounds like the gahmen's hatchet man. This interview showed a different side to him, a more humble and forgiving side that is quite different from his usual combative and somewhat condescending image. I'm glad he doesn't hate Singaporeans for raising questions about Ridout.
downloading this to watch on my flight! Excited for this discussion!!
First factor is Zionism and USA Christian Zionism. Sorry sir you are playing safe by ascribing two factors to Palestinians.
👍👍👍👍 to min shan
1:13:52 the "Sure, OK" from T 😂😂😂
How about US - the main Actor?
Also the Palestinians should be given their lands, homes & property back + reparations.

if Israel concedes everything, will never initiate attack, will Hamas still fire rockets from civilian grounds and pray that Israel defends itself and ends up accidentally hitting civilians in defense? (hint: this is a rhetorical question)
About Majority vs Minority. The great man mentioned something pertaining to the interests of the majority vs minority. Fines affect the poor and is essentially perceivably negligible to the rich. So, will this issue be addressed since Majority are not the Rich? COE deters/prevents the non-rich from getting a car for their basic/family neccessities. But it has no deterrence on the real rich who are the minority. As you can see, i am not easy to debate with
And a rather wry ‘…let’s see…’😜😂 ~ brings to a close this pretty interesting podcast on Israeli Hamas conflict. Much Thanks YahLahBut!👍
It's a good discussion. The most glaring omission is the role of the US.

Indeed, the US has had such a huge and involved role but barely had a mention here. But he did say something about self interests, so similarly any discerning person should realise that he is at the end of the day, a politician looking out after Singapore's own interests. Once viewed in that light, everything he says - or rather did not say about the US - becomes clear
I am thankful to our government for disallowing protests, looking at the protests that are in the West, advocating free speech but looking at what it does, disrupting daily life, and businesses, and vandalizing business and public properties.

Why not you become an MP and motion to abolish democracy and elections since you are against free will and pro totalitarianism?
Thank you Minister.
The weird thing is nobody speaks about Israel founding , starting and funding Hamas back in 1987

Funding hamas when it was first established is by no means that Israel fully endorses Hamas actions since then.

@@somethingisbaking2401 sadly they still are behind the scenes ..to get the truth one can only connect the dots backwards .. Mujahideen was also started and funded by 🇮🇱🇺🇲..so were Al Qaeda and ISIS .. always from the same source ..

Min Shanmugam 😍😍😍 Thank you!

Who certifies Truth or is anyone the Arbiter of Truth? If data is not accessible, what meaningful questioning is possible? Should Truth be deemed to be based on Believing in the absence of full transparency ?
Well said Minister Shanmugam.
Interesting discussion… what about Israel land grabbing for example…?

Palestine was not a country back then. They didnt own any land
My idea to make citizens hungry for prosperity is to up the cost of living😅. GST, COE, Carbon tax , water, electricity, property, just to name a few. But most importantly, we should delay cpf annuity draw down by another 10 to 20 years. Income tax can raise a few percentage and salary can slow down a bit. This way, they will remain hungry competing with foreigners who are enjoying the strong sg curency
There are no clarifications on the complexities of the Hamas Israeli conflicts in this talk.
While I respect his views on this matter. It’s hard for me to Shake off the Notion that a Policeman had actually commited sucide due to allegations of workplace bullying, all happened while he’s in Charge of the Ministry Of Home Affairs. I wonder what was the outcome of the internal investigation? Workplace bullying seemed to be common in Singapore’s workplaces.
It's HAMAS and their supporters not the whole of Palaestine.
So if someone feels oppressed, it's possible they would retaliate? Luckily , Sporens don't feel Oppressed😅 Quote ks : "...You grow up without hope and you grow up on a diet hating Israel because you see Israel as the oppressor and Israel you feel is controlling every aspect of your life. So how long can that be bottled up?" End quote "Bhor Bhiang One leh"🤭🤭🤭🏳️🏳️🏳️
Now you know whose land was that
Enjoyed this interview in spite of the substandard dumb questions being posed

No dumb replies? Maybe you are dumb?
Not sure whether fascism is improving the lives of people. As always, ownself check ownself, ownself praise ownself
You have to live in Palestine to enjoy d fun there!
Is the welfare of the Palestinians the responsibility of Israel. They elected HAMAS as their leading group and HAMAS is receiving millions of fundings for developing their country which they use to equip themselves instead. Do you have a option if you were Netanyahu??
Hard to hear a snake croak!
Singapore doesn't teach its citizens n children a hate education. Sing keeps religious believe aside in its administration. ❤
Huh.. no wonder Singapore using Tamil guys as their foreign minister. This kind of person have special capabilities in talking but don't ever think to used this guys explains & backing up Zionist Regime to us. Malaysian are well enough to understand their mindset for this kind of people. So Singapore..watch out your answer about Zionist Regime. We Malaysian hate & very angery to Zionist Regime, & don't give us stupid statement using this guy manipulation techniques or our hatred can turned to you guys.

The 2nd element is already well explained by the minister which is the right wing Zionist party at the start. Sg govt is opposed to the illegal settlements in west bank as stated in the international law. The 2 state solution is the end goal similar to the china foreign minister view. We are always aware that Malaysia can become the next threat hence we are not stupid to let you guys come in sg unchecked.
