🧵#Thailand's foreign minister has invited his fellow #ASEAN counterparts to an "informal" dialogue to discuss ways to help resolve #Myanmar #coup crisis, into its 3rd year. Invite also extended to Myanmar #military irrawaddy.com/news/the-world… #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #เมียนมา #พม่า
I understand that a few @ASEAN foreign ministers from nations like #Malaysia #Singapore & current @asean_ri chair #Indonesia will not participate in the talks mooted by #Thailand to take place in #Bangkok June 18-19. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
In the #Thai invite letter to @ASEAN foreign ministers, which I've also seen, @MFAThai minister Don says the "meeting is intended to be an informal dialogue that could be part of the initial steps of the #Myanmar peace process" #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
3 June: 🇨🇳#China has a fleet of at least 15 🐟fishing ships working both sides of 🇧🇳#Brunei’s & 🇲🇾#Malaysia’s exclusive economic zones, while all 3 countries’ defense officials are gathered at the @IISS_org #ShangriLa talks in #Singapore. [🧵1/3]

2/In addition, two probable 🇨🇳#China maritime militia ships—Qiong Lin Yu 11016 & 11587—are at the SE edge of the fishing fleet, providing security on 🇲🇾#Malaysia’s side of the boundary, together with a 75m cargo ship, Qiong Lin 11011 (possible 🐟fish carrier?). [🧵2/3]
3/Per @AsiaMTI & @C4ADS’ 2021 report “Pulling Back the Curtain on 🇨🇳#China’s Maritime Militia”, Qiong Lin Yu 11587 is identified with “high confidence” as militia. QLY 11016’s activity here seems to implicate it as well. [🧵3/3]

Some day I will make up for not having visited the temples of Goa.
But this time, when visiting family in Singapore, I took the initiative to visit a few amazing temples.
I will cover one temple at a time to do justice to them.
Hope you enjoy.

Sri Thendayuthapani Temple:
Prior to 1859 Nagarathars worshipped a Vel (spear), a representation of Lord Muruga, under a tree. The Vel was kept under a Pipal tree (Arasa maram) at the bank of a tank (pond). Fresh water from the hill emerged as a waterfall and filled the tank.

The temple was built on 04.04.1859. Chettiars community bought the land, from the estate of Mr Oxley, the first Surgeon General of Singapore.
The temple in its original form was of a simple structure. In 1878, two separate sanctums were built for Lord Sundareswarar and

I’ve had my #Sunday #coffee so let’s address this q about environmental impact of #cultivatedmeat. Skeptics’ arguments are based on 2 flawed assumptions: cell food will be pharma grade & large-scale plants that don’t exist yet(!) will be powered by non-renewable energy…
Commercial #cultivatedmeat will be more sustainable, efficient & healthier for the planet. Why? We won’t raise & slaughter billions of animals or use 1/3 of the world’s ice-free land to grow food for them. But this vision depends on several factors. Read: goodmeat.co/faq
News outlets like @newscientist should be embarrassed after covering a recent non-peer-reviewed & frankly fictional assessment of the industry. Until we scale up, it’s all based on hypotheticals about future production. Hold off on the criticism & give us the time to grow…

After his official visit to #Japan, president @KlausIohannis is paying a visit to #Singapore, where earlier today he held talks with his counterpart, Halimah Yacob. The president highlighted Romania's goal to step up bilateral relations with Singapore. (1/5)
@KlausIohannis spoke of a set of common goals, such as inclusion policies, economic&social development. The officials examined the results of actions conducted with a view 2 promoting information society, cyber-security, education, gender equality, green transition. (2/5)
Iohannis expressed RO's interest to tap into the full potential of bilateral relations, specifically in terms of economic cooperation. He underscored Bucharest's objective 2 attract investment, arguing that RO is the 3rd-largest EU provider of IT services to Singapore. (3/5)
To the @SECGov staff who know that crypto assets and services, by their very nature, can’t comply w/ existing securities regs, but feel they have no choice but to bring enforcement actions under existing law: there is a better way.
In the ‘90s, Congress gave the SEC broad authority to exempt entire classes of securities from the federal securities laws. And the SEC has used it. In 2004, asset-backed securities – securities backed by things like mortgages – were new, but had quickly grown to a $416B market.
After years of ABS no-action letters and feedback to ABS issuers on their registration applications, the SEC finally recognized that a new set of rules was needed - the existing ones simply didn't work given ABS' unique features.

Prenons donc les chiffres bas (en nombre de décès).

In case you were wondering about that tweet which couldn't be loaded, I found it quite amusing as Chancellor Scholz went straight past his flag and to the #Ukraine lectern before being corrected by Zelenskyy!
President @ZelenskyyUa is now arriving in #Brussels to meet EU officials as he continues his mission to get fighter aircraft for #Ukraine.
We've had almost a year now and it really angers me that no-one foresaw this. We never truly protected Ukraine as Russia controls the skies.

(1/8) Scam 1992 Explained Simply:-

(2/8)A ready forward refers to a short term, typically 15 day, secured interbank lending. In reality, the borrowing bank actually sells securities to the lending bank & then buys them back at the end of the loan period at a slightly higher price. #stockmarketcrash #banknifty #BBC
(3/8) A typical ready forward deal involves 2 banks brought together by a broker in a lieu of commission. As a part of the settlement process, the buyer & the seller need not even know eachother. #stockmarketcrash #StockMarket #Budget2023 #Adani #optiontrading #Wealth #singapore
The NPCSC interpretation goes well beyond just the relatively narrow (but already worrying) issue of whether foreign lawyers can represent parties in #HongKong NatSec cases. A THREAD. (1/8)
A1. In any #HongKong NatSec litigation, the court must now get a certificate from the Chief Executive on whether any act or piece of evidence involves NatSec and what to do in relation to the same. And if the court does not ask CE, then NatSec Commission can intervene. (2/8)
A2. What this means is that both the #HongKong CE and the NatSec Commission can now intervene and override the HK court at any time, and their decisions and acts would not be subject to any judicial review or any other form of legal challenge or oversight. (3/8)
