These are big, game changing moves that China is making. Singapore is not part of any OBOR plans. In this aspect, China has recently inked numerous cooperation with Malaysia, and the air defense and radar system mentioned in the article. There were also rumours of a Kra-Isthmus canal to be built in Thailand that will allow ships sailing between Straits of Malacca and South China Sea to by-pass Singapore. Seems like China is intent on securing its shipping network and thereby, removing an unfriendly Singapore which is viewed potential threat to this equation.
