"Little Red Dot" Singapore

In an exclusive interview with Asean journalists on the occassion of 45th National Day of Singapore, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, admits to us that it is accurate to describe Singapore as "little red dot". He also insists that Singapore is not a superpower, not even an economic power in the world. He appears very modest with the fact that h Singapore has achieved highest economic growth rate in the world in the first half of 2010. Mr George Yeo, Foreign Minister, seems equally humble with the growth of Singapore. Why do they say so, though Singapore has all the reasons to enjoy its economic prosperity at the world level?
