SINGAPORE, Aug 26 (The Straits Times/ANN): External parties are trying to influence Singapore to suit their own agendas, and its people should be on guard against such attempts, Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan (pic) said on Friday (Aug 26).

The minister called on Singaporeans to avoid being gullible and turn to credible sources of information, so as to immunise themselves from being misled by others.
