Singapore needs access to global markets to earn our living, and Free Trade Agreements play a crucial role in letting us do so. Ong Ye Kung and Tan See Leng reminded us of this in their Ministerial Statements in Parliament today.

Our network of FTAs has benefited us enormously. They create investments and opportunities for our businesses, and jobs for our people. They have helped make us a leading global hub.

The misrepresentation of the effects of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) with India has caused much unnecessary public concern. The two Ministers set out the facts about FTAs and CECA, to put the public debate on a sound factual basis.

Singaporeans are anxious about jobs, foreign competition, as well as the impact of the large number of foreigners working and living here. These are valid concerns which we will address. But if we put the blame on CECA, that will not solve our problem but instead make it worse.

My thanks to the dedicated officers who spent years negotiating our FTAs and helping Singapore grow its links around the world. These will give us a firm foothold as we slowly but surely find our way forward post-COVID-19. – LHL

//“For years, people tried to poke every possible hole in the supernova data to try and reach a different conclusion than a dark energy-rich Universe whose expansion was accelerating. In the end, there was too much other data; by 2004 or 2005, even if you ignored all the supernova data together, the evidence for dark energy was overwhelming. Today, it’s much the same story: even if you (unjustifiably, mind you) ignored all of the supernova data, there’s too much evidence that supports this dual, but mutually inconsistent, view of the Universe.”

It’s enormously tempting, when two different teams are getting two different results, for people on one team to point at the other and get excited about all the possible ways the other team might have gone wrong. But when it comes to the issue of the controversy over just how fast the Universe is expanding, we’re far, far beyond that point. Even if you completely discounted the strongest of the results on either side, there’s still so much strong evidence of these two general classes of methods yielding different results that we’d still have to reckon with a very real problem.//

SOOJUD = SUJUD

Based on true story liku kehidupan kami 2 saudara .. kadang2 kita lupa siapa kita ... salam sayang pada faham ... apa yang menjadi junjungan ? apa yang terlafaz ? kami akan menjawab segalanya ..

Setiap perjuangan dipandang serong ... satu keburukkan menutup semua kebaikan ... dunia akhir zaman kuasa fitnah berleluasa ... Mereka seru untuk berperang .. kini aku selangkah membuka tirai .. jangan jadi badut "joker" penuh kejahilan .. REZEKI ITU SEMUANYA DARI ALLAH SWT . Disstrack aku ? belom tentu menutup periok nasik aku . Biar orang balas dengan keburukkan asal kita x balas benda yang sama kepada mereka . Setiap nasihat dibalas cacian , sabar ada hadnya ... not to late to realize my brother .

Dari tanah kita diciptakan , kepada tanah kita kembali .. takkan selamanya mendongak , satu hari kau akan tunduk dan sujud kepada Nya !!! Cukup bijak mengenali Aku ? dah jumpa siapa Aku ? GOODLUCK from HANACARAKA ...

Salam tiga kosong angka penuh makna !!!

Carilah aku kedalam aku
Kelana Akira Abdullah
