Singapore opposition knocks Burma
SINGAPORE, May 22 (UPI) _ A Singapore opposition party leader cheered
President Clinton's actions against Burma, and called on the Singapore
government to follow suit. In a statement released (Thursday), Workers Party
secretary-general J.B. Jeyaretnam applauded the economic sanctions imposed by
the U.S. against Burma following the arrest of more than 50 Burmese dissidents
earlier this week. Singapore has more than $1.2 billion worth of investments
in Burma.
