Singapore issues stern warning to Taiwan
Singaporean Foreign Ministry has issued a statement warning Taiwan authorities must not belittle Singapore, and avoid using 鈥渧ulgar words鈥� to hurt others.
鈥淢ark Chen鈥檚 inappropriate wording has significantly hurt Taiwan鈥檚 reputation before world community, it鈥檚 difficult slap on its own face,鈥� the statement said. It said that Singapore and many other countries continue to worry the independence-leaning policy and act pursued by the Taiwan authorities, which, if not corrected, will inevitably trigger a war with the Chinese mainland, and danger the stability and prosperity of the whole Asian-Pacific region. Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo criticized Taiwan during his address to the recent UN General Assembly, reiterating its strong disapproval of Taiwan authorities, which drew wrath from Mark Chen. 鈥淰ulgar words won鈥檛 help Taiwan鈥檚 survival and development鈥�, the statement said. In another development on Friday, a small group of demonstrators in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second-biggest city, burned Singapore's flag. Singapore, which declined to be drawn into a war of words over Chen's sharp comment, was compelled Saturday to react to the desecration of its flag - a fiercely protected national image. " We are saddened by such intemperate actions,'' the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a brief statement posted on its Web site. |
