Singapore security forces lauded..this article explains all the reasons why SG was chosen.

SINGAPORE: Singapore's diplomatic ties with North Korea and its relative proximity made the city-state a natural choice for the historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

 

Mr Trump announced in a tweet on Thursday the two leaders will meet in Singapore on June 12.

 

The city is "a great location'' for the summit, said Tom Plant, who specialises in nuclear and proliferation issues at London's Royal United Services Institute. "Kim will be on friendly territory, not hostile territory. But he wouldn't be on home turf.''

 

Among the factors: It's closer for Mr Kim than possible Europe venues, the experience of Singapore's security forces, and the fact that Pyongyang has had diplomatic relations with the country since 1975.

 

Singapore is familiar ground for the reclusive communist country, which has its embassy in Singapore's central business district.

 

Single-party rule since Singapore gained independence in 1965 has ensured stability and fostered a security state that is among the world's most efficient. Located between two Muslim majority nations -- Malaysia and Indonesia -- with Islamic State group sympathisers, it has effectively checked terrorist threats.

 

It's also a perfect venue for top security meetings -- protests are not allowed without permission, movement is strictly controlled and media are kept under control.

 

Singapore is sometimes decried by civil libertarians as repressive. Among the most common complaints: preventive detention without warrants or charges; monitoring of private electronic or telephone communications also without warrants; the use of defamation laws to discourage government criticism and strict laws limiting freedom of association, according to the annual US State Department human rights report.

 

North Korea's state companies have, in the past, conducted legal and illegal business dealings with Singaporean companies. The city-state, under pressure from the US and a leaked UN report, officially cut off trade relations with North Korea in 2017 to abide by sanctions.

Singapore also is welcome ground for the US.

 

It is a large trading partner, the second-largest Asian investor, and a longtime supporter of its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. It's also the regional headquarters of large US companies including Google, Facebook and Airbnb. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1966.

 

"The North Korean side will likely have a very large number of logistical and protocol issues it wants addressed by the summit venue, so having a [North Korean] embassy in the country where the summit is to be held is likely a requirement,'' said Malcolm Cook, a senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.

 

Located just over 4,800 kilometres from North Korea, Singapore is comfortably within the flying range of its aircraft. Flying to western Europe would require a stop or two to refuel.

 

"Singapore is neither too far away as European nations are, allowing Kim Jong Un's private jet to make it here without refuelling, nor too close that Mr Trump might be seen as 'giving way' to Kim by having to travel a longer distance than the latter,'' said Nah Liang Tuang, a research fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies.

 

Former US ambassador to Singapore David Adelman said Singapore was ideal because it has been "an honest broker between East and West".

 

"Singapore has been a great friend to the US but also Singapore has carefully worked to be a friend to all, which has earned it trust in capitals around the world,'' he said.

 

Its free enterprise philosophy welcomes trading partners from everywhere, regardless of politics.

"We hope this meeting will advance prospects for peace in the Korean Peninsula,'' Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

 

In 2015, Singapore was the site of another unprecedented summit between two leaders burdened with a legacy of mutual distrust: Chinese President Xi Jinping and rival Taiwan's then-President Ma Ying-jeou, the first such meeting since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

 

It also has hosted regional meetings, including the Asean summits in 2007 and 2018. Since 2002, an annual security conference has been held there, featuring defence chiefs and officials from countries including the US, China and South Korea.

 

For such gatherings, roadblocks are set up around the summit venues, where armed Nepalese Gurkhas stand guard.

 

In 2015, Gurkha officers fired at a car that breached four roadblocks and crashed into a concrete barrier. The driver was killed and two passengers arrested in what turned out to be a drug-related crash, rather than an attack.

 

Valued foreign guests won't be troubled by protesters, either. Demonstrations in Singapore can only be held in a designated area, the 0.9-hectare Hong Lim Park.

 

Amnesty International says amendments to the country's Public Order Act have given authorities more power to restrict public assembly, and participants in peaceful protests have been arrested.

i cant tell whether the article is praising or suaning us haha...

Donald trump thinking is very different from previous president Obama and also a lot president. His thinking is just want settle things chop chop, and no other thing. Now in his mind is only to settle the north Korea thing. I believe he will forget about what pm Lee asking him to come visit us in Nov after the north Korea thing is settled..

Rooms at likely venues, Shangri-La Hotel and Marina Bay Sands, sell out a day after Singapore venue confirmed.

 

Huat Ah! Shangri-La & Marina Bay Sands.

 

I guess the summit will be held at Shangri-La, as many high level meetings, conference were held here.  Xi met Ma Eng Jiu here,  the IISS Asia Security Summit which is attended by defence ministers, permanent heads of ministries and military chiefs of 28 Asia-Pacific states were held here annually.

Best is to avoid but I do not think they will extensively block off public access. We are not a communist country in this respect.

 

Many of my China friends quite shocked how is this possible, some even think it is "too dangerous" because it will never happen in China. But they can come and experience it for themselves. The world is quite big and free.

good showcase to the world on our security capabilities. next time everyone will choose SG as neutral venue for peace talks.
