Vietnam and Cambodia have rebutted Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s recent remarks describing the former’s “invasion” of the latter and how it was roundly opposed by five Asean countries, which refused to support the government that replaced the Khmer Rouge. Ong Keng Yong, an ambassador-at-large and executive chairman of RSIS, recounted that he was among the foreign service officers tasked to ensure that even if diplomats had to use the toilet, they would emerge in time to vote against Vietnam.
