$20 million is a big sum ---- but out of so many Countries in the World ---- Singapore is chosen, the little red dot.

It is a great honour, it is a big compliment - that Singapore is a worthy host - to host this World Peace Summit.

It is for a worthy cause :-
(1) To prevent a war breakout in Asia Pacific.
(2) To prevent a nuclear war from breaking out in Asia Pacific and USA.
(3) To prevent a Peninsula war escalating into a World War 3 - by drawing in all the SuperPowers .
(4) To help to achieve denuclearisation in the Korean Penisula, to facilitate a Peace Treaty for the Korean Peninsula, to coax N Korea to integrate with the World Economic Community and contribute to Asia Pacific and Global Economy.

$20 million is a worthy cause, a small price to pay for 菩萨行。

Karma will be extremely good to Singapore ---- for saving millions of countless human lives ........

Because if nuclear war break out --- nuclear winter will cover the whole Earth - and all Humanity on Earth will perish ---- if this Peace Summit is not successful.

This is a Historic moment - a Peace Summit meeting between the US President and N Korea President - all happening in Singapore, the Little Red Dot ---- is not a small feat.

That is why Good Karma will be immense ......................

Ricky Lim, you may say Singapore is chosen- If Singapore choose not to, there is always a choice. Many countries can host them but maybe it is not worthy after all. Looking at the whole bigger picture- while other countries do not even want to get involve and bother- Singapore then get her chance to do it. There is always two side of a story.

Sheer bookworm nonsense....this is typical art of war strategy maoist style; fight and negotiate at the same time. if winning the fight negotiate even more future gains for leverage if losing ground all the more negotiate as well.

There are 2 sides of the coin :
---- one side say it is a conspiracy theory - a summit as delaying tactics ---- ie. pessimistic view of the intent ---- 人之初,性本恶。(People with this assumption - will bring vicious cycle of war and confrontation to resolve issue - even though peace is possible).

---- I prefer to look at the bright side, the optimistic side of the story - that the Summit is a real desire to Denuke, to seek a Peace Treaty, to seek Security Assurance and to integrate with the World Economic Community --- like all other Nations such as China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia are doing ----- 人之初,性本善。(People with this assumption to resolve issue - will bring peace and prosperity - for this reason Asia Pacific has seen many decades of peace and no war ---- because of this pretext.)

Arguing who is right, is no point.

Watching the development, while Singapore do what we can to facilitate - to help in the success of the Peace Summit ---- is a Noble Cause that Singapore can do.

The final outcome will speak for itself.

Remembering how China under the leadership of Deng Xiao Ping coax by the then Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew ---- has successfully encourage China to emerge from isolation to be now the 2nd Largest Economy of the World.

Now leading the same Noble cause is the current Prime Minister, the son of Mr Lee Kuan Yew --- to do a similar feat to coax N Korea President Kim Jong Un to do a similar feat - like what China did, many decades ago.

Some will want to look at $ and cents for doing noble cause - to see what benefits we can reap ---- for such a Humanity Life-threatening crucial Summit - of Holocaust proportion if it does not succeed.

Others will want to look at it as doing a worthy noble cause - to contribute to Peace and the consequence Prosperity to human mankind in Asia Pacific and albeit the World --- if the Summit lead to the resolution of more than half century of confrontation with nuclear holocaust proportion.

Eventually if the outcome turn out well ------ Humanity will celebrate.

Those generation who have live in the period of World War 2, the Korean war --- will appreciate the holocaust and immense sufferings that Human mankind have undergone ----- hosting this Peace Summit --- is a very small price to pay and a Big Noble Cause to carry out.

Searching for ways to resolve Korean Peninsula confrontation and nuclear crisis. Trawl the internet on 1950s Korean war
And look through various videos of 1950s Korean war.

遇事先沉心。静中自得悟。

Noted that what cause Korean War - are just due to :-
(1) Ideological differences (Communism vs Democracy)
(2) Political differences - Cold War mentality and which side rule
(3) Economic differences - State-Run vs Market Economy
There are no inherent hated by both Koreas - as they are of the same blood, blood brothers.
But what make them start and fight the war are the above cause by physical separation at the 38 parallel.

What antidote can help the 2 Koreas to really reconcile, stop confrontation and finally denuclearise, should be :-
(1) Emphasize people-to-people relationship, emphazie they are from the same blood, same root, same ancestorship.
(2) Emphasize both have strong desires for peace, for safety, for security.
(3) Emphasize the desires for economic development, business, investment, raise the living conditions and standard of living of the people.
(4) Establish several layers and levels of linkages, military hotline, maintain communication links -- no matter what happen - even when tension arise.
(5) Works towards real conciliation and non-confrontation - such as addressing military exercies and missiles/nuclear tests --- by downgrading the scale of exercises and reducing missile/nuclear tests --- to finally stopping them.
(6) Finally, find ways to ramp up more social contacts, more economic contacts and integration while reducing and finally eliminating military tension and confrontation.

This will be the only way to resolve the 2 Koreas Peninsula issue. Whether will the 2 Korea reunified or stay as 2 States (but a more amicable and brother state - spice with more economic integration and exchanges minus military tension) ---- will be a real positive improvement from the past tense relation.

Asia Pacific is a bedrock of "Peace, Prospeity, Business, Wealth, Prosperity".
Both Koreas must take advantage of Asia Pacific - to benefit themselves - and not spoil and poison this "Utopian" bedrock of peace and prosperity.

The core of the antidote is :-

“交心” - "Exchange of Heart".

The genuine desires - to improve relationship, reduce tension - and move away from the extremely unpleasant tension, confrontation - and the consequences of hardship and sufferings.

There will be hiccups and unhappiness - along the way - in forging “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" --- especially when the Winter Olympics is over - and both sides resume their past usual way of lives.

But whatever linkages, communication, hotlines and relationships - must not be broken - and let it continue ------- using “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" --- as the bedrock and strong desire to improve the relationship and avoid escalation and tension.

Both Koreas must always pull back to this focus point - “交心” - "Exchange of Heart" - whenever things are not going as smoothly.

And unhappiness and tension can be resolved.

What is important ---- is to improve, not go backward ---- which is not good for both Koreas --- as well as for Asia Pacific not to mention US.

The below opinion will still be useful.

Asia culture is one that start slow, build trust, build confidence, start with something that seems small, a small step, do something that seems unimportant - and slowly move into something that is of interest to both parties.

This is unlike Western culture that go straight into the main topic and want immediate result - that is still cold, very sensitive and still unyielding - and if things don't happen as expected - try to use high-hand tactics. This will not work for Asia culture.

Hence, let S Korea Leaders lead the way in this - as they understand N Korea culture better than anyone do.

"Exchange of Heart" 交心 - is the crux that may lead to breakthrough.

When Mr Lee Kuan Yew visit China and meet the then Mr Deng Xiao Ping - "Exchange of Heart" 交心 - is the crux that lead to the breakthrough - that change China's heart to integrate with the World economically.

Think this could be possible if the "right key" is used correctly on N Korea.

We should take a cue on how China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos - break out from economic and political isolation to embrace the World and integrate with the World economically.

(1) China by "Exchanging of Heart" with Singapore and then open up economically and integrate with the World. China work with someone they can trust - which is Singapore.
(2) Vietnam work with Asean by joining ASEAN to open up economically.
(3) Cambodia, Laos work with both China and joining ASEAN to open up economically.

N Korea will have to work with "someone" he can trust - and do similar things like what China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos did.
