If Malaysia descend into doldrums and chaos, extremism and exclusivity is the root cause.
The Chief Minister assessment is right on spot.

Only Moderation can save Malaysia..
Extremism will damage if not destroy Malaysia.

Good to take action against such errant shops - that have been spoiling the reputation of Singapore as shopping paradise but also dispense justice to those who have suffered under these unscrupulous shops.

Yes. Both Japan and China need one another.
Cooperation rather than hostility - is a prize that both sides should work towards to.

Countries in this region will also prefer both work towards peace and prosperity - and not hostility.

Can see that the historic handshake and body languages are unease - as both sides expectation have still not fully clicked.

But still the meeting is historic and signal a willingness to move forward positively.

This not only spell good for both Countries.

But also for the Asia Pacific region and the World.

Frictions always cause tension and disharmony.

Perseverance to communicate and desire to move forward positively - will help to ease tension and in future can help to resolve difficult issues - in a Win-Win outcome.

This guy is a Satan who is cruel, savage, inhumane and misusing holy religion to justify his cause – and in so doing smear with too many blood on his hands.

No one take pride in killing a life. But if he has indeed killed by the bombns – it is his gross heavy bad karma that come back to exact justice – for reaping his negative karma who has savagely taken so many innocent lives.

邪不胜正.
善有善报。恶有恶报。不是不报。时辰以到。

His fate is predicted to come to such ending - if it turn out his current fate is confirmed.
The World will have less violent - with such Satan leaving the World.

Hopefully, those misguided followers will realise how foolish they are being misled by this Satan and turn on new leaf and hopefully the IS will be disbanded.

If China President & Japan Premier are able to hold the first face-to-face talk, the tension in East Asia, albeit Asia-Pacific - will cool significantly - and focus can then be directed on trade, business and finance - that will help the region to prosper - in a Win-Win deal.

Hopefully Singapore can play a mediator role if ever there is a need.
Hopefully this need will not arise - pitting the West and China.
Hopefully, the West and China move along the path of prosperity, trade, investment and travel - not military jostling.

If countries with land, sea, air disputes can resolved their dispute without conflict, then the World will be a more peaceful place.

If a little red dot can accept such conflict resolution to resolve inter-countries dispute, countries who are more indulge in land mass and sea mass - can certainly prevent armed conflict through such peaceful conflict resolution.
