Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will state what stand will be taken by the Singapore Government on the question of sanctions against South Africa at the next Commonwealth meeting: whether the government will support the call for total sanctions now or it will support the stand taken by the British Prime Minister.

Mr S. Dhanabalan: Singapore supports the call for sanctions against South Africa.

We have supported the United Nation's resolutions calling for sanctions against South Africa. This has been our position at Commonwealth meetings.

We last made this call in a statement issued at the 19th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting in Manila in June 1986.
