SINGAPORE: Singapore regrets the visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the Yasukuni war shrine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said on Sunday.

A spokesman from the MFA said Singapore's consistent position has been that such visits reopen old grievances, and are unhelpful to building trust and confidence in the region.

The MFA spokesman added that tensions in the region have been rising due to the recent series of events, actions and counter-actions, taken by a number of different parties.

And Thursday's visit to the Yasukuni shrine, occurring against this backdrop and at this time, is likely to evoke further negative feelings and reactions in the region.

The MFA spokesman stressed that it is in the interest of all parties to exercise restraint, avoid actions that might further raise tensions, and seek to create an environment of greater mutual trust and understanding.

Does the word of Mother Farking Authority hold any weight in the world's arena ?

Did Lau Chee Bye and Prataman regretted being traitors during WW2 ?

Solly my england no good.

My engrand also no good

We can regret something we have done or have not done, but how does one regret the actions or inaction of others? This makes no sense to me at all.

Perhaps a little background should help clear your confusion.

There was a time in the not-so-distant past that French was the language of foreign diplomacy in Europe. Even after the collapse of the British Empire and the rise of the United Stasi of A., diplomatic missions did not abandon the use of Frenchie terms that are considered quaint by today's standards.

The engrand word "regret" as used in diplomatic circles is borrowed directly from French. The original meaning in French does not have the same engrand meaning.

I hope the above clarifies your confusion.

Other Frenchie terms still used in diplomatic missions are:

aide-mémoire
note verbale
chargé d'affaires

LEEgime also gets rewarded -both on the financial and economic fronts- for sucking US cock as do prostitutes.

Finally, the Singapore government did something meaningful for addressing our ancestors' grievances against the Japanese's government PM, Royal family & Imperial Army past atrocities!

We have been keeping quiet for such long time!

I think LKY's remains should be placed in the Yasukuni Shrine upon his death.

He deserves recognition for his contributions to Syonan-To and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Or more likely, kissing China's ass since it is an economic power now.

When Japan was booming and China still backward commie country, not a word about this.

That's how the pappies roll.
