Fearless response to external intervention is a top priority
![作者说,在国际事务中,各国都会设法对其他国家施加影响,以促进其国家利益和外交政策议程。真正问题是用什么方式来实现这些目标。诉诸隐蔽和欺骗性手段干涉别国内政,是不可接受的。(法新社)](/sites/news.smu.edu.sg/files/styles/max_325x325/public/smu/news/SINGAPORE-ECONOMY-LIFESTYLE-063658.v2.jpg?itok=RbXt9EOh)
In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan discussed Singapore's move to designate businessman Philip Chan as a Politically Significant Person under the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act (FICA). He noted that not much has been revealed about the purpose and nature of Mr Chan's activities conducted or planned on behalf of foreign principals, nor the covert manner in which these activities were conducted. Assoc Prof Tan opined that at present, the authorities are unlikely to release more information about his political activities. Doing so might reveal the source of the information and how the authorities had responded.
