On 19 Apr (Tues), Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong spoke at a press conference with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at the Istana. Both countries’ leaders spoke about working closely on the green economy and tackling climate change matters, as well as discussed on supply chain issues impacted by COVID-19. PM Lee also announced that both countries have launched a reciprocal Working Holiday Scheme, which will allow young people from Singapore and New Zealand to live and work in each other countries, for up to a year.

💬 How do you feel about the reopening of New Zealand and Singapore borders for quarantine free travels in May? What are your views on the Government's move to strengthen our digital economy partnership agreement with other countries? How will the Working Holiday Scheme affect/not affect you?

[10:10 am, 20/04/2022] +Uncle Law: Is a step fwd to open up our market to visitors. As our economy depends on tourism quite a bit, we need to step up our effort to open the market safely and surely

[10:33 am, 20/04/2022] +Gcml: Definitely a positive move for our young to have the option of going to live and work overseas. Exposure to foreign culture and international experience is beneficial for growing our next generation.

When this initiative succeeds, hopefully more countries embrace it and it becomes a trend in the long run.

[11:50 am, 20/04/2022] +BL: This is great:  "a reciprocal Working Holiday Scheme, which will allow young people from Singapore and New Zealand to live and work in each other countries, for up to a year." - I really appreciate the opportunity to enable learning and travel and cooperation between countries, especially those with similar interests.

[0:13 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: Can’t think of many friends who are keen to work as a sheep farmer for a year in NZ … but can see how a NZer farmhand will look forward to coming to SG for a chance to be a white collar PMET/Expat in future

[1:26 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

Reconnecting the Southern Continent - and jumpstart our seaport and airport

1. Singapore is a natural transit sea hub and air hub - and New Zealand as well as Australia in a far fetch Southern Continent - will naturally transit in Singapore sea port and airport for many services eg:-

a. Singapore can provide bunkering services and fuel refueling for container ships in transit to New Zealand and Australia and vice versa.

b. Singapore has transit fleet cargo to many regional ports.

c. Singapore has transit air flight to regional and international air ports.

2. Hence reconnecting to New Zealand and Australia - will jumpstart our vibrant sea port and air port - as New Zealand and Australia are more ready to open up their Economies after their abilities to subdue the covid pandemic like Singapore - and more open to trade and traveling.

[1:31 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

3. New Zealand is a big agricultural, dairy products and meat producer (Australia is likewise). 

In lieu of global supply disruption that disrupt food supplies - reconnecting to our Southern Continent trade partners like New Zealand and Australia --- is all the more important to secure our food supplies - as we face food supply disruption in some parts of the World eg. Ukraine war, China port disruption due to lockdown from pandemic etc.

[1:39 pm, 20/04/2022] +65 9876 5095: Lol cheap labour when work and travel… and chance of integration much higher.. if they married people there and have kids

[1:56 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

2 more important areas for discussion :-

Build new areas of cooperation to expand trade and capabilities- Digital Economy, Cyber Security cooperation, Green Economy

Ukraine war - impact on US-China relationship - both our 2 Big Economic partners

A. Currency decoupulation

B. Technology decoupulation

C. Trade decoupulation

D. Supply chain decoupluation

E. Self sufficiency resiliency - less trade

F. Segmentation into Economic, Security Blocs

[2:03 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: Do you mean decoupling? Because I don't think there is such a term as "decoupulation" .. and googling that word, turned up results for "decopulation" ... which I just found out refers to something completely unrelated and totally disgusting 😳

[2:04 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

Oh... I mean decoupling...

[2:06 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

Decoupling - will be very detrimental to globalisation and national security (more chances of conflict - back to WW1 and WW2 scenarios).

[2:42 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

Ukraine war - impact on US-China relationship - both our 2 Big Economic partners

A. Currency decoupling

B. Technology decoupling

C. Trade decoupling

D. Supply chain decoupling

E. Self sufficiency resiliency - less trade

F. Segmentation into Economic, Security Blocs

1. The purpose of Globalisation and World trade - is to embrace all Countries to trade, do business, investment, travel, studies etc --- to ensure everyone has a mutual stake in the World Economy --- hence there is less incentive to confront over political matters that lead to conflict, fight and war.

2. Hence we have many decades of peace from Regional big wars - except some wars confined to some regions - as many Countries have mutual stakes in the Economy - and less likely to make rash move.

3. Decoupling of all the above - is a recipe for trouble ahead - as it unravel mutual stakes that require cooperation and collaboration - but instead promote competition among Economic and Security Blocs to wrestle material, goods, services, food, currency, supply chain, political interest, economic interest --- that can easily degenerate into confrontation, conflict and war --- the same scenarios as in WW1 and WW2.

4. WTO, UN, WHO, IMF, World Bank etc - are erected and institutionalise to promote business cooperation, currency cooperation, arbitration of conflict to ensure world peace - after World War 2

But decoupling will dismantle the noble intention of promoting World peace and World prosperity - and make all the World institution redundant - as major Countries form Blocs - to push out Countries outside their close circles --- and a recipie for confrontation.

A. Currency decoupling

1. China are increasingly make bilateral arrangement with many Countries to pay in yuan over bilateral trade eg. Saudi Arabia with oil, Russia trade etc.

2. Russia being sanction over its invasion into Ukraine are kick out of SWIFT currency system - and dictate "unfriendly nations" to pay oil with roubles.

3. Overtimes, this has the effect  of eroding the use of US currency as more and more Countries will use bilateral swap currency arrangement for trade.

4. This will impact Singapore as a financial hub - as we have big US currency transaction though we are also a yuan offshore exchange. We also hold US dollars as our reserves. But bilateral currency swap between Countries will impact our financial hub - as it bypass our financial exchange.

B. Technology and Trade decoupling

1. US has sanctions many exports of high tech products to China such as semicondutor chips, engines, software etc as well as stop imports of China tech products.

2. US also similarly sanctions Russia and stop exports of goods and services to Russia due to Russia invasion of Ukraine.

3. As a result, China is trying to build its tech capabilities such as semiconductors, engines as well as advances in many other high tech areas like hypersonic missiles, AI, quantum computing, space exploration, satellites etc.

4. Technology sanctions will bring about technology decoupling - and increase self reliance among the big powers and reduce trade.

5. Singapore being reliance on Global trade - 3 times our size of our GDP will definitely be impacted - as we can't export sensitive high-tech products to China and Russia - impacting our trade.

C. Supply chain decoupling

1. With sanctions against China and Russia - many products cannot be manufactured in China and Singapore cannot supply materials, semi-finished goods or finished goods to China and Russia or import the same from both Countries.

2. Hence Singapore will have to look for new suppy chain and new trade source - that will disrupt our supply chain - and impacting our trade with the 2 Countries.

E. Self sufficiency resiliency - less trade

1. China and Russia may turn inwards and become self-sufficient - though economically it is more costly and less efficient and products will not be of the most cutting edge due to the biting sanctions impose by US and the West - but nevertheess it will impact Singapore trade with the 2 big Countries.

F. Segmentation into Economic, Security Blocs

1. As a result, chances that China and Russia will form their own Economic and Security Blocs while US and the West will form their own Economic and Security Blocs. 

2. Both Blocs will recruit smaller Countries into their armbit - and Segmentation of Global Economy will happen. 

Security interest that develop between the Blocs will also happen.

3. This become the recipe for WW3 and Cold War (the same scenarios of WW1 and WW2) - where Economy and Security interest are segmented - as Blocs compete and confront one another for resources and benefits.

The challenge is how Singapore can make the World - wake up to this imminent danger - that are set on by Trump and his Administration - and further extended by Biden Administration - with the support of US bipartisan lawmakers.

[2:45 pm, 20/04/2022] +Patrick Loke: This was since 26 Mar. sigh

[2:58 pm, 20/04/2022] +BL: Good point - we should avoid using age-gender-race-religion bias related language when possible. This is about people, simple as that.

[3:15 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: This is not just about anybody/everybody. 

It is targeted at attracting YOUNG, PRODUCTIVE people...the kind that we are not producing enough of. The demographics of a segment of our population that we need to increase because our population is aging quickly.

This is NOT just about people, but a particular segment of people. I doubt many in this forum will be smiling if we end up with Wealthy NZer retirees coming to SG and buying up all the choice properties at prices that make our eyes water 😜

[3:19 pm, 20/04/2022] +Rama: Exactly

[3:30 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: Wake up .. don't just appear "Woke" 😉

[4:05 pm, 20/04/2022] +BL: It's really about managing immigration for both countries. By setting an age limit there is an automatic restriction on numbers. Make sense really.

[4:06 pm, 20/04/2022] +BL: SG people can go buy property in NZ anyway, nothing has changed there.

[4:06 pm, 20/04/2022] +BL: SG is one of the very few countries in the world whose population can buy property in NZ.

[4:07 pm, 20/04/2022] +Smiley face: https://youtu.be/0GVx_a1CLNY

[4:10 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: i am really curious about the kind of job opportunities/prospects a young Singaporean has in NZ  😉

[4:13 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: Reminds me a bit of the last similar arrangement we signed with another friendly Nation .. think it was called CECA or something like that  ...  similar in the sense that the benefits seem very "unidirectional" and not so obvious to me as an average Singaporean

[4:25 pm, 20/04/2022] +Smiley face: https://youtu.be/zfToZ1XNdfI

[4:26 pm, 20/04/2022] +Gcml: Hence the devil is in the details. Hopefully something that is symbiotic for both countries.

[4:34 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: the key detail being "hopefully" 😂

[4:50 pm, 20/04/2022] +65 9876 5095: It’s amazing bankrupt that has no signs at all till it’s too late..

Change government can change anything I wonder

[4:53 pm, 20/04/2022] ☸️  Danny 心: 

1. My stand against the topic is "Might does not equate to right". 

"Mutual respect and respect for International Law is right".

2. Hence I support Singapore Government stand in the UN - against Russia invasion of Ukraine - to make our voice heard - so that like-minded politicians will not emulate the mindset of "might is right".

By promoting more such voices in the UN - will consolidate and pull more Countries to buy our views to deter mighter and stronger Countries from exerting their whim and fancy against smaller or weaker Countries - quoting historical justifications to invade other Countries and violating sovereignty and territorial lands.

3. Though economically, we may have suffer some collateral damages in our business with Russia, disruption of supply chain, imported inflation as food, good and services may be impacted by the sanctions against Russia as well as declaration of "unfriendly nation" by Russia - that may politically, diplomatically and economically put us in an uncomfortable position when dealing with Russia.

But I think this are some sacrifice we must be willing to take - to put forth a principle front - that UN charter - the right of existence as a Country must not be violated - else the World will become the law of a jungle - where the mightier survive at the expense of the smaller and weaker Countries.

The sum of the rest of the World against an aggressive aggressor - will win in terms of might, determination and the right values in the long run - so that the World will be a safer and prosperous place.

Lessons learn from Ukraine war

1. We must remain strong and united on the following grounds :-

a. We must be economically strong and must focus on STEM, R&D - so that we are technologically advance and capable.

b. We must build a strong and credible armed forces based on National Service - so that numerically and qualitatively we are well trained, and our soldiers must be united and willing to fight and defend our Countries like the brave Ukranians.

c. Our population irregardless or race, languages or religions or political affilations must be united as One Singapore to defend our Countries and determine to fight any aggressor like the brave Ukranians.

2. The MRT network of tunnels and MRT underground stations - will serve as a good air-shelter, and allow our troops to survive from bombardment and then re-strike - just like Ukraine experience with network of underground metros.

3. Diplomatically, 

a. We must strive to maintain good relationship with our neighors like Malaysia, Indonesia - to safeguard our border security.

The close economic relationship, mutual economic and business benefits, people-to-people relationship, close political ties - spell good for Singapore that will help to safeguard our National Security.

b. At the same time, we must strive to maintain good relationship with major powers, global political influencers, regional Countries and UN - so that in the event where a crisis arises - we will have many supports and assistance from the global world.

c. Our strategically place armed forces training bases with many overseas Countries will put us in good stead - as it provide us realistic training, safeguard some of our vital military assets and allow us to do a second strike to retake or regain our military initiatives as well as gaining military assistance from overseas Countries.

4. In retrospect, the Power geopolitical dynamics do play a part in Russia invasion against Ukraine.

a. US hasty and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and US domestic aversion to military intervention in 2 successive Administration - embolden Russia invasion into Ukraine - banking on US unwillingness to intervene.

b. EU unwillingness to accept Ukraine membership and fearfulness of facing up to Russia.

Should US adopt similar stance as in the "Cuban crisis" - by treating Ukraine as Cuba - the doorstep into EU - then Russia will be more hesitant to strike.

Psychological posture - is the key to prevent Russia invasion into Ukraine.

US and EU "scary bird" posture - embolden Russia to take on adventurism - the window opportunity that Russia have been waiting for to strike.

Thus to prevent future such conflict, balance of powers is important - to make the other side wary and do all the calculation - economically, politically, military capabbilities and achievement - as well as the willingness to intervene when the crutch comes.

5. As for whether will Russia invasion into Ukraine - turn into a larger Russia-Europe/US war or a larger WW3 or into a nuclear war?

My take is :-

a. As NATO intervene more actively in the war front - cannot dismiss the possibility of turning Russia conflict with Ukraine - into a larger Russia-NATO war.

b. As for whether will a nuclear war erupted - as long as NATO does not threaten the existence of Russia - but help to chase Russia forces out of Ukraine - then a nuclear war may not happen ---- as Russia is equally fearful of NATO directing the nuclear weapons at it in retaliation if Russia strike with nuclear.

[4:56 pm, 20/04/2022] +Joseph: Only 2 ways to bankruptcy .... "Gradually, then suddenly" 😜

Decoupling is the recipe for Humanity confrontation, conflict and destruction.

Digital Economy and Cyber Security cooperation

1. To expand our traditional trade arrangement - we should build new areas of trade cooperation and capabilities - notably Digital Economy.

2. Trade can be done remotely via eCommerce, eTransaction and ePayment with the click of a few button at the desktop. 

In addition, filling up trade documents, shipping document, letter of credits etc to complete the trade transaction can be done easily and speedily via electronically means.

By removing barriers to Digital transaction, trade cost can even be lowered - and will boost earnings to businesses on both sides while reducing product prices to consumers which will help to fuel more consumptions and hence higher trade volume.

3. Thus Digitalising trade will help to promote more trade, shipping, air freight and hence contribute to higher Economic growth.

4. But digitalisation comes the challenge of securing digital transaction. New Zealand and Singapore being advanced economies - have expertise in cyber security and collaboration in securing digital trade both ways - will help to ensure trade transaction integrity and boost confidence in using digital means to do eCommerce and eTrade.

5. Collaboration in developing Green Economy - and ensure both sides doing business taking into consideration and giving the impetus to develop Green Business and Trade - will help to safeguard against Global Climate and at the same time fuel the development of another Economic Sector - Green Economic Sector - that will contribute to both sides Economic Growth.
