Lawrence Wong is going to slap him. Singapore's foreign policies on the Middle East is not to take sides. The Middle East problem is very complicated. Everyone claims their right to exist there, to the inclusion of the other party. How to solve, like that?
Ugly brutal truth is all these Arabs will not care hoots about Mats as they consider them as inferior species but to be made use of just to propagate their religion only. Once these Austronesian Mats go there, jitao become toilet cleaners and doing menial jobs LOL:
" KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians who went to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS felt deceived and disappointed as they were tasked to do menial jobs such as cleaning toilets.
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said these Malaysian recruits regretted their move as things in Syria were not what they imagined them to be.
"They were not involved in the battlefield. They regretted because they are given tasks to clean toilets or sweep rubbish or do other tasks that they do not consider to be for warriors," he said at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Dr Ahmad Zahid also said Malaysians who died while in Iraq and Syria were not directly involved in battle but were mere casualties due to the belief that they would become martyrs in the end. "

The PAP should just stick to the Two-State Solution, promulgated in the 1982 Arab Summit where an independent Palestine (West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem) exists side by side with Israel, according to 1967 borders.
Camp David under Clinton sought to address this 2-state solution (but failed), the Europeans and most of the Arab world also support it, but it's the Israelis who keep sabotaging it by pushing back the borders, making land grabs, and making impossible demands. China has recognised the State of Palestine since 1988.
Stick to the 2-state solution, and we'll be in line with the rest of the civilised world, without betraying our good relations with Israel. Of course, the reality is that the US is the only country that can resolve the issue, but ironically the US admin is hamstrung by the strong Zionist lobby which funds the election campaigns of both the Republicans and Democrats
