Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday it was regrettable that countries had imposed export bans on food thus affecting a consumer society like Singapore.
He only has himself and his myopic PAP to blame for putting Singapore in this quandary.
Chan Chun Sing was praising MTI ( which he then headed ) for having diversified Singapore’s food resources and making them secure at the height of the Covid pandemic. Today his words appear so silly! All your most reliant sources are not going to make a difference when countries like Malaysia ban the export of chicken and India ban the export of sugar and wheat. We can expect more countries to limit the export of essential food items in the months to come. In this new World Order, where the world is becoming extremely polarised, no country can depend wholly on others to provide its food.
This food crisis is a wake-up call to Nations all the world- THE ERA OF GLOBILISATION IS OVER! Countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and India have shown that ultimately governments will impose controls to protect the interests of their own citizens. It is the likes of the Chan Chun Sing / Lawrence Wong / Ong Ye Kung /Tan See Leng who sing from the hymn sheet of globalisation and talk effusively about how Singapore cannot do without foreigners who have been blindsided by a reset of the World Order.
