He is in Malaysia now, so near and yet so far.

Why should he visit Singapore?
What could he gain here that he can not gain elsewhere?
What's our unique value proposition to Obama?

I remind myself of our LKY HARDTRUTH.

Maybe Sg took away many of their financial businesses, and took away their FTs?

Sometimes, it is just a matter of employing some lobbyists.

Anyway, I prefer him not to come and jammed the expressways due to road blockages by TP.

Actually he knows Singapore very well and our leaders are quite close. I remember they will meet during stopover in singapore. Sometimes closeness is when you do not meet in media spotlight. Instead you have to show its when there aren't or trying to build trust.

Already allowing them to park their navy here, give intelligence to them, hands always outstretched for a handshake regardless of what happens...

Haha... no additional benefits in coming here at all. Might even piss off Malaysia (by showing them that SG and Msia are equal in USA's eyes) if he stops over.

I think he cancelled once to Malaysia due to budget crisis. This is like payback. Haha

Ha! Ha!
You still remember PRC jokes.
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
