As Singaporean is a small little red dot, we cannot be complacent and must strive for excellence because such a small country can be abandoned and left out by major countries such as the United States of America. We will have to remain competitive and develop faster than any nation so that we can survive in this competitive world and not cease to exist. Furthermore, there are many issues that can only be addressed with the cooperation of other countries to solve the issue. One such issue is terrorism. As the threat terrorism is close to home but the country who is developing the terror is further away from home, and Singapore have limited resources to fight against terrorist, we are dependent on more developed countries to help us. Hence, Singapore must remain humble and build strong relationships with other countries so that Singapore can remain in a safe position for peace and harmony and we can tackle issues with other countries, increasing support for Singapore and at the same time decreasing the burden of Singapore to tackle issues. Many Singapore criminals have been successfully captured in other countries due to the strong inter-relationship with neighbouring countries such as the famous capture of Mas Selamat Kastari in Sudaki, Malaysia.
Why is the relationship with China important?
As you can see from the graph, Singapore economy is largely dependent on China on GDP. With us knowing that China is one of our largest influence on Singapore's economy, we must ensure we maintain the strong relationship with one of our largest trading partners. If China dies, Singapore dies. Hence, the relationship with China is important as we rely a lot on China.
