Singapore regrets PM Abe's visit to Yasukuni shrine: MFA

 

SINGAPORE - Singapore regrets the visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the controversial Yasukuni war shrine, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) today.

 

"Singapore regrets the visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the Yasukuni Shrine," said MFA in a statement. "Our consistent position has been that such visits reopen old grievances, and are unhelpful to building trust and confidence in the region.

 

"Tensions in the region have been rising due to the recent series of events, actions and counter-actions, taken by a number of different parties.

 

"The visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, occurring against this backdrop and at this time, is likely to evoke further negative feelings and reactions in the region.

 

"It is in the interest of all parties to exercise restraint, avoid actions which might further raise tensions, and seek to create an environment of greater mutual trust and understanding."

 

 

good job

 

should express "disgust" instead of "regret"

 

really poor decision by the Japanese PM... now even USA also not happy liao

[ShepherdPie]

sibei bei tahan japan.. first the islands , now this.. Already the reaction from the China side was very violent when jap government bought the islands. I dun think they are doing this without understanding the damaged it will caused ..It's all within expectation.... i guess they trying to force China to war under public pressure...... to distract their ppl from the econ crisis in their country...

 

 

yes.. it sound abit how Hilter managed to convince the german to go to war.

he spent his own money to make a film "The rape of NanJing" rated the

best among others using simple home equipment at home.

He is persistently revealing the truths about

history to people

actually no wor

He actually said that he regret not visiting the shrine during his first term as PM.

anyway, his aim is to try to up his rating.

Abe Shinzo stay PM very long meh ? He was elected since Dec 2012 ? His previous term several years ago, wasn't very long either and was also quite controversial, as far as I recall.

 

 

 

 

 

not many Japan PM can stay in his post for this long.

[Scion]

i always compare Japan with Germany

 

if Germany can do it, why not Japan?

 

Germany doesn't worship Hitler and his cronies in a church or something, and they outlaw Nazi and all the offensive terms/symbols

 

this is what I call respecting history and moving on

China's move to draw the new air space has created quite a big stir in the region. This has created a arms race among the super powers!

Every year the same. They visit, we regret. Following year, visit again, regret again. Will they stop visiting first or we stop regretting first?

 

Please don't take the word "regret" so seriously, okay?

 

We were issued with a much stronger word "repent" in 2011 and there weren't that many bad side effects after all.

 

So why get so worked up over adjectives?

Um..."regret" and "repent" may be used as verbs,and the former also as a noun, but never have I seen them used as adjectives.

it's no adv for china go to war.. which it is growing economically...

 

Japan.. obviously, is in the opposite situation.. Don't think the Japanese public is happy to see a rising china and ,even worse, raising Korea.. add in some angry response from korea and china public..

 

he will succeed in diverting attention for a leaking furoshima.
