@rimu From the analysis I've read (skimmed, TBF) Singapore only needs to "give it their best shot" in terms of ensuring our supply of refined products. When push comes to shove, there are no enforceable requirements and they could very well curtail deliveries.

Nathan Surendran wrote a piece a couple of weeks back (https://archive.is/DXahq) about the really bad optics of our govt doing SFA in terms of cutting demand in comparison with our trading partners in the fuel supply chains. In short, they notice, and when things get tight the ants aren't going to make sacrifices to carry the grasshopper.

This particular FTA puts a chirpy veneer over that ideological cesspool, but the unresolved asymmetry of the state responses is getting rather glaring.
