Bad idea, short term gain but long term bad, especially if the ah tiong allowed to come and buy up everything.
Imho finance this type of thing is double edge sword, needs to be tightly regulated.

1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR!
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

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.
I thought this to be quite a serious matter. Will this be the start of a long-term decline for Singapore?

For one, Thailand was also mentioned as 1 of the other 3 ASEAN countries with their highest leader not invited. If it is not the Chinese not liking the junta, then one should be "slightly" assured that the isthmus of kra route isnt part of the OBOR (for now)

a lot of things are needed to ensure the success of OBOR infrastructure projects, a high risk high gain plan, still singapore needs to find a way to make itself relevant and useful to this changing world, otherwise the only consolation is the huge reserves that could help to slow down the long-term decline of singapore.

well i think eventually, the US or Japan will make approaches to counter China's balance in this region, not in a war type way, but through economic pressures or by trade..
