新加坡當地的說法

"Improper conduct" on the part of Taiwanese personnel stationed in Singapore is to blame for a brewing storm in the relations between Taiwan and the island state, the Chinese-language United Evening News (UEN) said yesterday.

Minister of Foreign Minister Timothy Yang also acknowledged recent communication glitches between the two sides, but was quick to add it was going well now.

The UEN, however, reported yesterday that Singapore had completely shut down the communication channel with senior Taiwan officials stationed in the country and recent Taiwanese attempts to resolve the dispute have all proven futile.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied reports of a diplomatic shutdown late yesterday.

The Singaporean authorities have accused the senior Taiwan officials posted there "improper conduct" considered seriously detrimental to the "long-standing friendship and interaction" between the two sides, the UEN said, citing "informed sources."

Singapore has no official ties with Taiwan. An unofficial Taipei Representative Office in Singapore handles the dealings between the two sides. It was not immediately clear what constitutes "improper conduct." Taiwanese and Singaporean officials have both declined to comment on the matter.

Despite the absence of official ties, Singapore announced on Aug. 5 last year that it was going to negotiate an economic cooperation agreement with Taiwan. Since then, bilateral talks have hit snags as relations between the two sides deteriorated, the paper said.

Taiwan has tried several times, through various channels, to express its willingness to try and resolve the crisis. Proposals raised included sending Presidential Adviser Ding Mou-shih to Singapore to try and "communicate" with Singaporean officials.
