Shanmugam calls Workers' Party approach to international relations 'absurd and novel'

Imagine if Singapore were to ask countries for support right after confronting them over alleged breaches of international law, said Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security K Shanmugam in parliament on Wednesday (Nov 4). “I think members and Singaporeans can see how absurd and novel such a position is,” said Mr Shanmugam in response to Workers’ Party MP Fadli Fawzi’s position on Singapore's diplomatic engagement.

Mr Fadli had stated that the Ministry of Home Affairs should raise concerns about foreign counterpart's policies or conduct that relate to security and law enforcement where relevant. #singapore #sgnews
