Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Ang Wei Neng on Singapore's defence relations with US and China
The rivalry between the US and China has given rise to stiff competition between the two countries in the arenas of technology, innovation and defence, said MP Ang Wei Neng in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2). He pointed out that Singapore has been swept up in this current of geopolitical change. Mr Ang wanted to know how Singapore's ties with the US and China have affected the Five Power Defence Arrangements. He also wanted to know if Singapore will continue to welcome US nuclear submarines and host Australia’s nuclear submarines. He also asked if the Ukraine crisis has affected Singapore’s defence relationship with the US and China.
