Teleprompter? Without a doubt, he's an eloquent speaker. But how do you know he's not reading a teleprompter?

Congratulation, Sir. Well done, a very brilliant Speech well spoken and delivered. Feeling so proud that our beloved Country, Singapore had such a good & capable Foreign Minister. JiaYou !

[@martycrow]

I'm not Singaporean nor paid by them. Singapore's Foreign Minister's speech should set a bar to small nations around the world, as well as to those fighting for equitable sustainable development in a tough environment. So many countries come to UNGA to grandstand and play to their base back home. So much of Balakrishnan is focused on the global state of play and not bragging about Singapore. In this, I am increasingly convinced that despite concerns about freedom in Singapore, that country is truly a world leader in how to deliver for the majority of its people.

[@tttan1843]

The funny thing about western values about freedom. Freedom to carry guns, but no freedom to go out at night. Freedom of speech (lies, tales, anything) No freedom of peace, cause one party hurt by untrue, will find another untruth to share about the other party. Freedom to have drugs, but no freedom to those that do not take drugs, just look at NYC and SF druggies on the road sidewalk, used needles thrown everywhere.

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

@martycrow What Rubbish! It seemed that you are overly impressed by theatrical window dressings. A government that sues it financially weaker citizens to bankruptcy over simply expressing an opposing opinion or sharing a Facebook post is outright OPPRESSIVE!

[@ninglu1636]

Everyone should recite this speech word by word. So true and so well put

Here's a quick summary: -The 77th session of the General Assembly is taking place in the shadow of multiple crises, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, superpower rivalry, and the COVID-19 pandemic. -The multilateral system is being severely tested, and the prospects for international cooperation have weakened considerably. -The climate crisis, deterioration of global commons, and food, fuel, and finance crises are all happening concurrently, compounding each other in a vicious circle. -Singapore believes that the only way forward is to uphold the inclusive and rules-based multilateral system that has underwritten peace and progress since World War II. -Small states, like Singapore, must uphold the fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity to ensure the security and existence of their countries. -While the rules-based multilateral system is not perfect, it is by far the best option in addressing transnational challenges and managing the global commons. -Multilateral cooperation is the only way forward, as ultimately we share one planet and our destinies are interwoven.

[@pepperoni-prepper]

The UN rules have been twisted, to allow over 200 interventions by USA, yet, Russia abides by the UN rules and is labeled illegal, because USA refuses to recognize the status of the separatist states in Ukraine. Despite two agreements, involving USA and others, recognizing independence for the separatist states, when Russia goes to their aid , after being begged to do so (stopping continued human rights violations, well documented in the UN), The USA lead statement from the UN, is that it is illegal to invade "Ukraine".

[@pepperoni-prepper]

almost half the permanent security council are USA minions, thus the loudest voice yells.....boot Russia. many nations of the UN have complained about USA pressure, and threats of sanctions if those nations did not comply with the USA narrative, yet the voice yells....Boot Russia maybe, it is USA that should be expelled, and its minions given the option to either stop following the failing hegemony, or also leave the UN. the UN can not function as a multipolar and truely universal entity, when it constantly bows and bends to the USA hegemony.

Don't invent gears, but build gears to create value and avoid the need to ensure social justice, thus avoiding the huge disparity between the rich and the poor. Cultivating best practice skills with diverse sustainability perspectives ultimately becomes a reality of leadership and quality education for true Singaporeans.

Straightway tearing into Russia! Surprisingly, every global leader is speaking of UN Charter and Preamble including those who are responsible for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Where was the Rule based order or UN Charter rhetoric when West and EU tore apart Middle East ? Do the equation, West and EU is as much responsible for Russia-Ukraine conflict as much as Russia is but most of the global leaders are giving them lee way.
