In response to media queries on the Taiwanese administration's proposal to put its bid for UN membership under the title 'Taiwan' to a referendum, the MFA Spokesman said:
"Singapore opposes any unilateral move to alter the status of Taiwan. The proposal to put Taiwan's UN membership bid under the title 'Taiwan' to a referendum is provocative and irresponsible. It can only give false hope to the Taiwanese people, raise cross-straits tensions and reduce Taiwan's international space. There is no realistic prospect of Taiwan joining the UN. The vast majority of UN members adhere to a 'One China' policy and will not support Taiwan's membership of the UN under any appellation."
