If it was the other way round then Japan would have never agreed and would have given heaps of reasons for this... Singapore should stand firm on this decision as it has the right to protect its citizens from radiation tainted food!

Please check, from Japan side, if the labels on food are genuine and correct!

Japan has not done enough for these people to get their lives back. It should have been a priority from day one -instead they just keep dragging it on. So now you have people and politicians begging for their cause.

If the farmland could not be used then it should have been changed over to other production (manufacturing etc). You do see this with solar developments in the area.
