Sinkees won't be affected at all, it is just a technology transfer sanction. SAF has to use Chinese-made weapons. No big deal. You can still visit the US. Still can buy US-beef. Can buy US oil too.
Chinese weapons sucks. Except Ballistic Missiles.
Pussies doesn't!
very very funny
Beggars can't be choosers. Moreover, it will be cheap because of the special relations between sinkapore and PRC. With sinkapore in PRC's sphere, no melayu country will dare to touch us. We can get rid of NS.
There is so much good coming out of the Todd incident. Oopps, I mean murder

Innocent until proven guilty.
There is no guarantee that the truth is uncovered in court. More so in sinkapore's kangaroo court. The government decides the verdict and then the kangaroo judges toe the line. Would a judge on track to reap $68 million over his lifetime want to jeopardize all that for a vague notion called the truth? Not sinkees.
All of you dream along with the parents ah? Next time every FT death in Singapore a murder?
Whether Shane's death is murder or not is immaterial. The focus should be on sinkapore's role in the transfer of US technology to PRC. I hate two-timers.
It's definitely a good premise for a Hollywood political thriller.
Jack Neo will produce the sinkapore version.
As expected, now that the trial is over and the verdict of suicide has been given, the US Embassy in Singapore has issued a statement to say that the trial was "comprehensive, fair and transparent".
State coroner rules Shane Todd committed suicide

SINGAPORE: State Coroner Chay Yuen Fatt said he was satisfied that there was no foul play involved in American researcher Shane Todd's death.
He said that Dr Todd had, beyond reasonable doubt, committed suicide by hanging himself.
He summarised his findings in a 15-minute hearing on Monday.
The state coroner said that overwhelming evidence showed that Dr Todd had entertained suicidal ideations of increasing severity leading up to his death.
He noted that Dr Todd, who worked for Singapore's Institute of Microelectronics (IME), had faced great difficulty coping with his work after transferring to a new group. He was also unhappy with certain management decisions.
These factors, probably in part, or in whole, triggered a relapse of his previous history of depression.
The State Coroner also said that he placed greater weight on evidence given by pathologists who were put forward by the state as they had more experience and were more qualified than the family's expert witness, Dr Edward Adelstein.
The State Coroner said Dr Adelstein had shown himself to be an incredible and unreliable expert witness.
He also noted Dr Todd was not in possession of any classified information while working at IME, and that a project which Dr Todd's parents claim put his life in danger did not ever materialise.
This would therefore be inconsistent with possibility of foul play in his death.
The State Coroner also pointed out there was no reason to doubt the authenticity of evidence presented by state.
Four lawyers who represented the family during the inquiry were present in court and relayed the findings to them.
They said the family would be issuing a media statement once they have gone through the findings.
The State Coroner also extended his condolences to the Todd family and said it was evident Dr Todd was from a tight-knit family and had been loved by the people in his life. He hopes the family would be able to find closure.
In a statement, the United States Embassy in Singapore said the inquiry into Dr Todd's death was comprehensive, fair and transparent.

MONTANA: There is no sign that the verdict into the death of Shane Todd, the young American electrical engineer found dead in his Singapore apartment, will end the controversy surrounding the case.
On Monday, Singapore's State Coroner Chay Yuen Fatt ruled that Dr Todd committed suicide and was not murdered as his family claims.
His family back in the United States is vowing to keep pursuing its position that he was murdered.
With the grandeur of its landscape of mountains, forests, lakes and waterways, Montana is sometimes called 'Big Sky Country'. It is a very long way from Singapore where Shane Todd died over a year ago.
For his family, neither distance nor the passage of time has diminished the desire to get to the bottom of what happened.
Dr Todd’s parents Mary and Rick Todd keep memories of their son alive, even as they fight to prove their case that he was murdered.
Instead, the Todds have assembled their own evidence, some of which they have circulated in an open letter to "media outlets and elected officials".
Among the supporting documents are photographs of their son's body, including his hands, which they say show signs of a struggle.
Underlying everything the family said is their vehement rejection of official findings that Shane Todd killed himself.
Meanwhile, the Todds try to live something like a normal life.
They point to their Christian faith and the church group which meets weekly on their property as sources of enormous support.
And, as they look to the future, the couple promises further evidence to come from the contents of their son's computer, which they found backed up on an external hard drive which they brought back home.
"The rest of the story will be told because there is a lot on that computer proving what we are contending here," said Mary Todd.
The Todds intend to wage a campaign to get American public opinion on their side. Several US lawmakers have already taken up the case but the family said that the national security implications are so serious that they plan to raise them with President Barack Obama personally.

Shanmugam urges FT to correct inaccuracies

SINGAPORE: Minister for Foreign Affairs and Law K Shanmugam on Monday said he hopes the Financial Times (FT) would do the "honourable thing" and correct the inaccuracies it set out in its first article about American researcher Shane Todd's death.
This follows the State Coroner's verdict that Dr Todd had committed suicide by hanging himself.
He said that the journalist who wrote the article, Raymond Bonner, had "recycled untruths", and that he hoped FT would "set out the truth".
He said the conspiracy theory that Dr Todd had been murdered was based on three points -- one of which was "simply untrue", one was "pure imagination", and the last was "pure fantasy".
He was referring to the Todd family's allegations that someone had mysteriously accessed Dr Todd's computer and hard disk drive after he died, and that he had been garrotted.
Mr Shanmugam added that the family never explained how the untruths came about as they walked out of the proceedings before testifying.
In response to questions about the family calling the outcome pre-determined, Mr Shanmugam said: "There's no reason for the Attorney-General's Chambers to want any conclusion," adding that all evidence had been dealt with.
Pointing to a statement issued by the US Embassy which said that the process had been "fair and transparent", Mr Shanmugam added that US-Singapore ties would not be affected.
