| @wonton, actually I'm not quite sure what ASEAN does in the first place. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to politics and world affairs (as most Singaporeans are), and only in recent months have I started broadening my horizon to understand the world (and my own country) better. Batons and rubber bullets? Please visit the two blogs I listed in my previous comment to see how brutal the Myanmar military is with the protestors and civilians. I felt so sick seeing part of a student's brain on the ground in one of the photographs. Hmm, wow, I didn't know that Singapore sold weapons to the Myanmar military government too. Is this true??? By the way, speaking of war and history, recently I've also read of how the China government treated the Tibetans (are they same as Mongolians?). After reading too much about politics within a few days, I have only one conclusion so far - "Power corrupts". |
