Do you think Singapore will continue to have a close relationship with Israel? Let us know down below!
Yes.
Yes 👍👍👍
for sure Singapore is very open and independent society and has a strong relationship with Israel.
Yes!!! Singapore supports the good nations.
The Jews of the East and the Jews are money chosen.
Lee kuan yew wrote many letters to west countries for military help... Only Israel responds
Yes... and after they and the west neutralized the middle east, S.E Asia will be next where the majority of the muslims reside.... just look at their propaganda and agenda to break the muslims world for them to reach their goal... Anyone who agrees with them is a very much complicitor to their GENOCIDAL ACT...!!! FULL STOP...!!!
This is 100% true.
Its not as if Singapore chose between another country and Israel.
Israel was the only country that responded.
Egypt & India, not west countries
@@NewmaticKe
US, Australia, and of course Britain.
And several other countries, not named.
There was a certain degree of desperation.
It must be during confrontation with Indonesia
Thank you to Isreal despite all the people who hate you.
thank you for being a friend singapore!
Thank you for your companionship
Not many normal people hate Israel, Its just that 1/4 of the world is muslim and they have an obsession with it, so you see it on social media all the time. Not helping either that every neo-politicain in the world wants to debate on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Your welcome
Thank for the support we love you from Israel
Israel offered her help decades ago when the world casted us aside. We will forever be grateful to Israel.
Regardless of how inhuman Israel can be.right?
@@tafrihulislam9753🤭
Same for Hamas, inhuman.
WE? Speak for yourself. I do not want to be associated with Israel. Especially the ZIONISTS!

Singapore didn't select Israel to build its Armed Forces, Israel agreed to assist Singapore when the rest of the world refused to help, thinking this little red dot cannot make it.
sometimes you'll need help from others who have more expirence or power than you in a certian field, the same is true for israel itself in it's past
I'm not saying it to mock singapore but merley to mention it's needed something israel had an expirence with at the time
and I'm sure that if it was the other way around the singaporian people would hepl israel .
exactly
Israel not only helped Singapore, they were also honest in their dealings. They did not take advantage of the arrangement by pushing for us to buy their weapons for profit. They were sensitive to our limitations. We will always treasure their friendship because they were there when we were at our lowest. May god bless Israel and best wishes to her people.
What Israeli military weapons in the early 1960s? Their weapons were mostly foreign bought from Western countries so Singapore might as well purchase directly from those foreign countries. 🤣

Why do yoy think brazil sells FAL's around 15% chraper then nations like belgium do?
Thank you sir. As an Israeli, I can appreciate friendliness, as we get it in such low rations... especially now that we're really in a flood of Jihadi murderous assault - both physically, by Hamas and Hizbullah - Iran's proxies, but also from most of the western countries of the world. I wish I could understand why this is.
One shall not forget those who helped them when in difficult situation. .
yea tell that to turkey... Israel helped they most recently in 2023 when they were hit with earthquake...they are ungrateful
@@phyllisbarr4766what do you expect from them with ardogan?
nothing...exactly@@larryl164
While it’s true about Turkey’s current leadership, Turkey offered sanctuary to the Jews who reached their shores after the expulsion from Spain in 1492. Jews in Turkey were not forced to convert to Islam and lived relatively peaceful lives.
yes it has been a long and crazy ride with Turkey...depending on leadership@@davidbenjamin4798
As you can tell from what all the Singaporeans here - including myself - are saying, it's very obvious that the writers and producers of the video have no idea the lengths to which we ended up with this diplomatic relationship with Israel. Even the western world - including the UK which left a defence vacuum here - did not bother to build up a national defence strategy before leaving. Guess who stepped up? The only country that did has our gratitude for their assistance at a very crucial stage in our country's development. Perhaps if you other countries stepped up in place, things may be a lot more different. But you didn't, and I'll even bet you could not be bothered to read up on our history.
Not forgetting that Sinhapore had a Jewish PM David Marshall before LKYs time as PM!
Lived in Singapore. As a Jew I have never felt more welcome.

You're welcome. Happy to have you as our friend.
Oh no, Singapore will become Zionist country.
@@nightizzat4574 I don't see how that's a bad thing.
Thank you for your companionship
As a citizen of Singapore, forever more I am grateful to Israel because they came such a time when our country were so vulnerable. Countries not helping, they were eyeing and waiting for Singapore to sink to a stage that they come to take over effortlessly.
Do pray tell who is going to come take effortlessly?
MALAYSIA PROVIDE WATER. Can you survive by eating weapons? Vulnerable to what?
@@DivineIkariIndonesia or Malaysia, then Singapore chose Malaysia. That’s when Indonesia launched Konfrontasi against Singapore and Malaysia. One incident happened when Indonesian commandos attacked Singapore in the MacDonald House bombing. Not to mention Indonesia conquered East Timor, another small country in South East Asia, and no one said a thing except Singapore. Indonesia took over a smaller country 1975 and people don’t think that could have happened to Singapore if Singapore just did nothing to protect itself as a small country too?
I am an Israeli , and I am grateful for the help israel gave to Singapore. Our relationship should keep growing forever 😃
@@ErenYega747 After research, both Singapore and Malaysia were targeted by Indonesia after WW2 due to the impression that both SG/MY were under Imperial rule by the British which offended Indon as they were first colonized by the Dutch not wanting to repeat such events again close to their waters. Also, Indon had disputes with the territory in Sabah/Serawak and created another excuse to invade Malaysia.
Malaysian, Tengku Abdul Rahman gave and and negotiated Temasek away to LKY and thus was called Singapore/Singapura. Shouldn't treat our neighbor with the same bias as what Indon did. Malaysia has been better than those other countries around the world who are facing their neighbors.

We Singaporeans are forever grateful to Israel for helping us to set up and guide us to build our Army when no one else was willing during our crucial moment. Thank you, Israel!
Now you are so indebted to Israel that you are too scared to even condemn them, even if they commit genocide. The whole world now knows how wicked and cruel Israel is, and not a shred humanity expressed to palestinian who abused and starved to death by israel government. singapore government neck got tied by money now.
Taiwan also helped built the navy and air force
Surprisingly, people who are near not helping , and people from afar travel all the way in to help. This type of unconditional help, shall not be firgotten
@@charlestanch9360 The first Singapore Air Force Chief is from Taiwan.
Yes. Singapore is grateful to both Israel and Taiwan! ❤❤❤
No country wanted to help Singapore when we were in need of help. Only Israel willingly offers to help without any condition. We are really grateful to Israel for the help. Thank you Israel. God Bless you and you are a Real Friend.
What makes you think the vietnam get some help from when they fought the french, china, USA? What makes u think that indonisia get some help from after ww2 the dutch came back with their ww2 allies (brits, french, india)? ruined their economy to the ground with more and more people killed? The only thing they had was courage and they didn't cry for who will help them. U bring a laughable narative 😂
@@paranoya733 "U bring a laughable narative"
The only laughable narrative is you can't seems to see that Israel helped Singapore when in need.
@@ultimateedgelord3586 What need? Your freedom of independence even a free gift by the british.. while other nations have to fought it, even when they get their independence after a brutal war with their colonizers, it all started from poverty and nobody helps.. u still laughable 😂

So was yours. Your point is?
"while other nations have to fought it,"
Fight for all I care, if I could secure independence without firing a single shot, all the better for me.
" it all started from poverty and nobody helps"
Israel helped when Singapore was still poorer than Malaysia, suck it up. We are more successful than you now.
" u still laughable 😂"
I'm laughing at the fact that every jab that Malaysia tries to take against Israel is benefitting Singapore. Guess being laughable is good for me.

Look at the antisemitic south East Asian nations, like Malaysia and Indonesia. Do we need to ask why are they such backward nations compared with Singapore ?
Singapore is a wonderful country.
Yes, the reason why it is where it is today is because Singapore knows who to turn to for help when help is needed.
That's nothing but the Truth Hallelujah
Amen!
Correction - Singapore sought help from many countries to build up its army. It was mainly hopeful of the help from India. But only Isreal responded to Singapore's SOS.
Which is why Israel and Singapore have close ties
India? 😂
@@destructionswordspet save your condescending koktok. indonesia is one of the biggest countries in the world. who can attack them. in constrast, singapore is one of the smallest in terms of size and population. in fact, at that time one of the biggest threat to singapore was probably your country.

How about Balfour Decleration? how about sultan johor riau decleration. imagine that force migration of malay johor riau into singapore again and use the same excuse same as zionist. " why not, we are here since hudred years ago and we just comeback to our land." Zionism already manipulated. Read Albert Einstein letter to the New York Times why he is disagree with a jewish state of Israel? his POV about zionism is to blend with the existing population without displacement of other people already live there and not to have own armed force. He know this is the only solution because he is a genius. The false zionism will create problem in the region which is surrounded by arab nation. No need to guess there won't be peace in there.

You missed out an important fact. Singapore actually sought the help of India and Egypt initially, but neither responded, so they turned to Israel, which quickly responded. Israel was not the first country Singapore approached. This is an important fact that should not have been glossed over in your video.
Indeed. Thanks for pointing this out.
Israel can be trusted and reliable
Agreed. Thank you Israel. May The Lord Bless Israel & Singapore.
So why do you make this a big issue when it comes to Israel? Envy...
it’s not THAT important, what’s important is that israel helped and will always help, but other countries may not

May God Bless and Protect Singapore and it's people.
We Singapore are not ungrateful. We remember those who help us especially in our time of need. That's what gratitude is, we don't cast aside whoever after had helped us. Imagine you desperately require a huge sum of money for a lfe saving surgery for a family member and a stranger passed you the money, how will you feel?
Yup, other countries left Singapore for dead at its birth, esp the 2 neighbouring muslim countries. Only Israel came & help.

Indonesia here. Thanks to the late Lee kuan Yew. He was a great leader. Israel and Singapore are examples: Quality over quantity. Much love and respect.
Singapore is an independent country who can choose which country to have bilateral relationship with. Hence, do not make propaganda with suspicious when we have bilateral relationship with a particular nation. In fact, Singapore values friendly relationships with any like minded nations so as to establish mutual benefits in term of trade, economy, technology etc to benefit the people of the nation. Singapore is and always be a neutral country and its stance in the world today as a tiny nation in our foreign policy is not to take sides with any nations big or small but to work closely with any nations as partners to leverage on each other strengths to enable each country to benefit from each other to let its people live in peace, harmony and prosperity.
Because they love money just like sex workers no dignity
Singapore cannot afford to be neutral or play both sides anymore, nobody will like a two timer. Singapore must make a stand

Thank you Israel, God's People, for helping Singapore and Singapore thank you for loving Israel, God's "Apple of thine Eye", I love both of this two beautiful Countries ❤
Our ex-Prime Minister LKY had said all these in his books. These are not secrets. Singapore is friendly to all nations and our stand is always to respect race, language and religions. This is very dominant in our society. When Singapore got its independence, Singapore had asked Britain, US, India, Egypt and other non-communist countries to help build up an army but none responded until Israel come into the picture.
Yes our initial build-up were Israeli orientated as the army advisors came from there. Then the British stepped in to help train our air force and the US trained our navy. In the modern world today, Singapore will go to any country who offers training to our SAF. There is no peculiar country that Singapore is aligned to. The SAF sent officers world-wide to get the training required to build up the SAF - Sweden, Germany, France, US, Australia, Britain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei and many more countries.
Singapore had many friends and best friends not just one. So now you should understand the Singapore stance. Like our national motto and the significance of our flag, we respect all races, language and religion. We believe in justice, peace and equality.
th-cam.com/video/au-j4W0cc0c/w-d-xo.html
You forgot to mention Taiwan where the bulk of our army trained. Infantry in the South, Artillery in the Central and Arty Armour in the North. And that the early Air Force pilots were also trained by Taiwan.

Yes indeed our military friend
A true generous kind and unpretentious nation , that is Israel, one who help unconditionally...
Singapore appreciates and value the help offered in out hour of need, well endorsed by our renown late PM, Lee Kuan Yew.
As such we are forever grateful to Israel, a true friend in need.
🇦🇷🇸🇬 An unyielding bond not to be broken ..
May God bless israel and may israel continue to not only exist but to also prosper in their rightful land....be strong and courageous, do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go...long live Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱
The connection is so clear, two extremely small countries surrounded by hostile Islamic neighbors.
a friend in need is a friend indeed. Israel helped Singapore at its weakest time, and we will never forget Israel's kindness.
They have some similarities they are very small but very smart in fact they need to smart to survive
Who else to look to except Israel, being the prime example of a small new nation that successfully survived among very unfriendly muslim nations ?
Israel is kind enough to come all the way across the globe to help Sg because it sees a kindred spirit out of what it went through .... like an older brother looking after a younger one ....
Israel and Singapore are natural allies. Developed, innovative, strong civic institutions, surrounded by hostile countries.
Israeli and Singapore have a lot of similarities: multi ethnic democracies, open economy and high scientific output. Israel definitely will share with Singapore their experience in fighting terror and prevent massive invasion
1. Israel wasn't the first country Sg turned to for defence training. Egypt and India turned us down.
2. Israel's contribution to the building of our defence was significant and came at a critical time.
3. Sg's defence has since evolved independently of Israeli influence.
The geopolitical sensitivity in 1965 is more intense today. Hence caution should be exercised in the evaluation of views on Sg-Israel relations.
Singapore does not take sides, even though we remember the debt of gratitude.
We support a 2-state resolution to the current conflict in Gaza.
Any suggestion that we are wont to take sides is dangerous.
We maintain our sovereignty and insistence on compliance with international law, eschew terrorism and support humanitarian efforts.
This is our position in the present conflict. As citizens we also respect fellow Singaporeans who have more sympathy for Israelis or Palestinians.
It is normal India turn us down when we need help.. expected.
Singapore has close relationship with many countries including Israel. This was revealed by ex-PM LKY in his books. In today's world, many countries have close relationship with one another. This is global politics.
At early nation building stage of an impoverished and a tiny Singapore, no one is interested in lending a helping hand when first PM Mr.LKY requested for assistances except Israel. The willingness of Israel to extend a helping hand in secret had make it possible for Singapore to survive and continue to thrive in mid of a hostile geopolitical environment after British left. A lesson to learn here is that a real true friend would come to you in time of needs, not in time of rich. 🤫🤫
As a Singaporean, I am glad that Isreal helped boost Singapore’s military strength.
Wow, I did not know this. thanks. Singapore is the top country in the world! Israel knows and appreciates what it is to build a country in the midst of the enemies! Good luck to both great countries.
God blessed Israel. Praying for Israelis' lives to be able to return to the norm soon. Stay strong and stay safe! You are not alone! ❤❤❤
Stay safe and stay strong! God blessed Israel! Israel is not alone! ❤❤❤
Friend in need is a friend indeed. Singapore till now is still experiencing constants tensions among its neighbours .
Sukarno's Konfrontasi Campaign was a stark reminder.
The bible said if you bless me I bless you if you curse me i curse you. God bless Isreal and God bless Singapore. From Australia.
So happy to such close relationship between Israel and Singapore. Blessings to both countries❤❤
What I think is now I know why the countries around the world do not want have a problem nor to hate Israel. The answer is because there are a lot of contributions that Israel had built before what they've done these days in Gaza. And when I search Palestine's contributions in this world or at least to help another country is ZERO.
Good on Israel for helping Singapore.
I love israel 🇮🇱 ❤️ ♥️ 🇮🇱
Everybody with good heart and soul stand with Israel
Interesting news. May they continue to support each other as this world becomes more and more fragmented.
God bless Israel!
God bless Israel, from Singapore! 💪❤
The world loves Israel 🇮🇱 ❤
A root of co operation between the two countries could be attributed to the active Jewish community in Singapore.
Singapore's road to independence from the British in the 50s was championed by a Singapore Jew , David Marshall. As Chief Minister , he was active in Singapore Politics. He failed in getting the British to let go Singapore. After Mr.Lee replaced him , Mr.Lee succeeded. But the Jewish influences were strong.
1965 separation from Malaysia, with Malaysia boasting of Malaysian military control up and down Singapore, to the needs of setting up an independent Singapore military , excluded from Malaysian influences, Israel became the ready go to to help Singapore's needs.
The link has had to do with the Singapore Jewish Community and the active political nature.
Indoenshia 💕 PALESTINE ❓ a country in Middle East that's a thousand miles far way from Southeast Asia region 🤔💬
@@Booz2020 aha. Jews were never a country. You have the wrong view of Jewish existence.
Jews , after generations in their host countries are still not assimilate into host people. They are Jews first. This explains Jewish power in money. Their soul preoccupation representing Jews power.
You need to factor in the success of Mossad. Without Jewish community, Mossad won't be that effective.
Next , Palestine & Palestinians.
I have a haunting thought. Jews don't like Palestinians because they are descendants of the real Jews who have converted to Islam.
The present Jews with mixed European blood calling the shots are totally different from the biblical Jews. Palestinians have more ethic claims to the Jewish blood.
Hence, the bloodshed.

India only responded now. To work in Singapore.
That is why I patronize the Singapore Airlines when I travel home almost every yr. from Norway to Davao, Phil.
Israel is the most blessed country
You too are blessed for blessing Israel.
Israel helped Singapore to built into one of the most powerful military in Asia
Actually it seems like the F16s come from the USA. As for the nukes and bio war capabilities, I accept that I know nothing.
One country do not love another country. Singapore is grateful to israel for its help. Will repay in good faith. But not in a sinfull way.
Singapore did ask for help from India but India didn't response.
Finally someone got this fact right. We were hoping India would help but they were not interested in an insignificant new small nation like Singapore. Israel responded despite being so far away and had little connection with Singapore.
Indians are scared of China, Russia and neighbouring islamist countries, so it's everybody's 'friend'. If there was a war, India would run!
And now when sg is good, they want to sign ceca,,, skin so thick. Some India can yaya papaya in Singapore claiming they built Singapore and not Singapore is giving them a job to feed their family back home.. hopeless, sg can intake many migrant worker from other parts of the world.
PEOPLE OF INTELLIGENTS JOIN HANDS. THEY BECOME MIGHTY, THOUGH TINY. SINGAPORE HAS WORLD CLASS NAVY.
Nothing unusual for a vulnerable small Singapore island surrounded by mainly larger Muslim nations to seek the known expertise/Enterprise of an Israel similarly surrounded by Muslim majority nations.
Hopefully, that is not forgotten history because it s sad to see Singapore standing with UN in demanding for a cease fire in Israel s war against hamas.
Agree
Two countries with brains, enterprise and ability are likely to get on.
God bless both Singapore and Israel.Sujathan India
And God bless India too.
Singapore as a small venerable country want to make friends around the world. Don't understand why neighbouring countries want to object if they are not friends to these countries. Just like I am friends to my neighbours and you come and interfere saying NO. CANNOT .. WTF.
While I agree that the reaction from Singapore's neighbours were rather extreme, from their perspective, they are seeing their neighbour trying to befriend a terrorist, or someone they feel that is a 'bad person'. I'm sure you would say something if your friends started mixing with people whome you feel are bad company and bad influences as well. So while the reaction and outrage may be too much, it is not without good reason, at least from their perspective.
And one of them unfriended us first.
@@prinprin36 There is no good reason, only personal one. So I actually agree with you, it's only "from their perspective". Then, we had to find our own way to stay alive, that was and still is our perspective.
It’s a spiritual thing the hatred goes a long way 3500 bc years ago😢
@@peterpangras3508Nothing to do with religion, just thickheadedness and stupidity.
Debunked. Just recently Law minister just shot a warning to the Israel Embassy.
Much of Southeast Asia has become great friends to Israel. Singapore, the Philippines, and India to name a few. It is heartening to see that israel still has some good friends in the world.
many people world wide loves israel
not new
no es novedad
Yes, Israel is wonderful country. It dealt with Arab invasion and at same time, gave Singapore training of our SAF, and provide necessary aid
Now, we are number 30 in Global Power rating..
If Israel want to buy bigger ship, it can count on us..
We have frigates which just need only 80 men.
Yeah singapore is helping israel to kill palestinians. Shame on you genocidal singapore
God bless Singapore
When I was called up for NS, I was send to the School of Artillery.
I saw the CO was walking with a "foreign" guy that looked like a Scout Master (uniform).
I was wondering what the SM doing in the army camp.
Little did I knew that SM was the Israelis military advisor.
The CO was taking him out of the camp for lunch.
Then I realized later that the training was no fun.
though singapore love isreal that dosent meant singapore will always agree what isreal say
I agree
Nonsense
Nobody mentioned the iron dome system
