Kishore is a rare gem in Singapore and Asia. He offers a balanced view and in-depth analysis of current world affairs. He genuinely cares and concerns with the well-being of Singapore and world peace. Singaporeans call him a “big mouth” or “pro-China”, a symptom of being brainwashed by the pro-Western mass media. That is why his courage and views are so important and deserve to be respected and listened to to resist the expected danger of undermining world peace.

When Sumiko asked Prof Kishore for his response to the label of him being pro-China. I hear Prof Kishore's revelation about his motivation to speak for China, which was - the desire to tell the China story well in the face of the powerful Anglo-Saxon voices (that in his opinion has caused an imbalance in the global debate). To me, this bears some similarities to the narrative of Mr Philip Chan who was the first person designated a politically significant person under our FICA law earlier this year. In a Straits Times article titled "Who is Philip Chan, the man against whom S’pore has invoked its foreign interference law?" dated 2Feb2024, and also in a CNA article dated 28Feb2024 titled "Analysis: Why Philip Chan was deemed to have 'crossed a red line' under Singapore's foreign interference law": - it was reported that "Mr Philip Chan Man Ping....believed in uniting overseas Chinese to tell China’s story. “It is our duty as overseas Chinese to tell China’s story well....,” he told Chinese media outlet Chinese Headline New Media (Huaren Toutiao) in a March 2023 interview....." (extracted from ST) and "...In an interview with Chinese media outlet Huaren Toutiao, he said his influence remained “limited" despite publishing articles in Lianhe Zaobao. "Since we can only do little alone, we therefore need to be more united,” he wrote, adding that Western media had “smeared” China and discredited its Belt and Road initiative...." (extracted from CNA)

Listening to many talks and lectures, so repeatedly, I cannot but appreciate the depth of Mr Mahbubani's views and understanding of geopolitics; particularly that of the US-China relationship. And I concur with 99.5% of them. My top pique with his proposition that the US regime's persistent attempts to discredit, if not destroy China's decades of progress, is that the US regime has no great strategy to achieve that goal. So the question that disturb me is, Is he supporting the US regime's actions of hampering China's development and progress? If not, why is he educating the US regime how it could do so successfully?

The views of many sgporeans today are are not trully neutral. There is a slight lean towards the West. This is all understandable and predictable after decades of western investments and western media exposure. Its also been part of the social engineering by the Gov, and no doubt its been beneficial overall since Merdeka. AND now, the world order is changing as we enter the Asian century. And im sure what we are starting to see today, including this episiode on ST, is also part of the social engineering to slowly lead a mindset change in the society to follow the tide. In 10 to 15 years time, the views of most sgporean will be leaning slightly to the East.

I’ve seen his speeches and debates with Western academics; Mr Mabuhbani is eloquent and doesn’t shy away from stating the facts and realities on China and U.S. - China, EU - China relations. He makes some excellent points about China and why it is misunderstood. Also, why is being pro-China in Singapore a negative thing? Does one have to then be pro-American in Singapore to be viewed favourable? As a Singaporean, I’ve become pro-China in recently years. That’s because I’ve seen the Americans become increasingly belligerent and aggressive towards China and many other countries around the world. The U.S. has gotten arrogant and giddy with its hegemonic power. I support China’s rise because as Mr Mabuhbani said; it is in Singapore’s interest and ASEAN’s too.

Kishore exposes facts. It so happens those fact reveal the true nature of the Chinese, whose fundamental nature is to extract the most of out of everything for the benefit of those in need and it is not just for the Chinese. He seems to understand those salient characteristics of the Chinese which appear esoteric to Westerners. In highlighting and expounding those Chinese characteristics, he is aiding better understanding, even if it doesn’t allay Western fears of their impending loss of hegemony.
