You think the indigenous folk of Taiwan asked Singapore to leave?
That's some new thinking on your part.
Do you think the rest of the invaders will be leaving soon as well?
Before I can answer Q1 & Q2, what do you mean with the words "indigenous folk of Taiwan" and " rest of the invaders" ?
The original inhabitants of the Island ..... Or the earliest inhabitants.
The folks who came over after losing a war elsewhere......
How are the 50c piling up now?
Life is short, paddle harder!!

Ah..Thanks for clarifying.
I don't think the Taiwanese indigenous folks stand any chance to have any influence on that.
This is like expecting the Aboriginal Australian has a say after "rest of the invaders" in Aussie land welcomes the new "invasion" from a Asian country...

I doubt so in our post-Brexit era.
Unless, of course, Australia gov decided to bring back that old tradition of incarcerating English criminals and turn it into another modern-day tourist industry.

by your logic of China dictating terms to Taiwan, why not UK also dictate Who Australia plays with ? After all, the queen is the Head of State for Straya right ?

That's your logic, not mine.
Why would UK "riled up" on a former colony which is essentially now an independent state with a seat in the UN and does not conduct in ways that compromise mutual interests ?

I rest my case, Your Honor.

Strange...why thank me ?
All I did was to clarify that "logic" wasn't from me and my post ended instead with "?"

You mean ASKING assistance from a guy who once promised that "Mexican wall" and prematurely help killed a pet project that Singapore government once lovingly promoted with great enthusiasm over last decade or more ?
Can any one remember that warning from Singapore PM if the US decided to withdraw from that project ?

It's a shocking situation actually. I am becoming more and more concerned about a war and we know which sign Singapore will be on.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or
http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

When do you think Singapore will open its borders?

After the Circuit breaker and if incoming visitors should do a 3 weeks quarantine? That should be rather safe?

There are obviously some hidden hosts in the community still. Even countries with zero cases are reporting new cases popping up occasionally.
