Malaysia will always fight cause they said that the water is sold is too cheap for Singapore, and Singapore will always fight back cause it's within the agreement and they sell back the treated water to Malaysia in a cheaper price.
I believe if Malaysia insist to renegotiate, Singapore would love it, cause they can also increase the price of treated water, then I guess that Malaysia will threaten to stop water supply to Singapore. As for now, Singapore might still need the water from Malaysia, and if you are in Singapore you will know, Singapore aim to be self water reliance by the date of the contract ends. This is because Lee Kuan Yew has projected Malaysia will threaten Singapore with water agreement again sooner or later. Personally i think it's a political gimmick by Tun M, he's been there in the beginning and now suddenly raise up this issue, even other ministers just diam diam. It's not so easy to recontract the things, and he knows it. Just making some headlines to stir up some public perceptions. Anyway I would love to see how this issue proceeds, cause it's a new govt after all, dealing with Singapore govt. Looking at this video, you can see that how Singapore govt works, with facts and figures... you can say they are hiding something, but you can't deny that what they said is true. =) |

QUOTE(wanted111who @ Mar 4 2019, 10:44 AM) Respecting current contract which was drafted without exit clause, review terms in future and was 50 years old? I can imagine when they first signed it, malaysia thought they are getting themselves a deal to be selling something they have abundant and freely falling from the sky... and would have gone to waste (without monetizing) otherwise.Is it a fair contract? Blame it on short-sightedness. |

In the agreement they get both resources. hello genius, if we ask Singapore to pay market rate for our raw water now, they also have right to ask Johor to pay market rate for their treated water.Please, we don't have myr 320 million? Really? We can't afford it? We aren't talking about billions here. We get the facilities in 2061 for free? At what cost? Maintaining it. End of the day who is paying the maintainance? Ranhill? No, it will be Malaysian. 2061 we draft new agreement? Why not we draft new one now? Taking into consideration cost we need absorb to maintaining the world class treatment plant. as this guy already mentioned WAY WAY EARLIER in this tered: QUOTE(weissPC @ Mar 3 2019, 02:30 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Furthermore, as indicated in the video, if Malaysia increase the price of raw water, what is there to prevent Singapore to jack up the price of treated water to Malaysia?

QUOTE(Faidzal @ Mar 4 2019, 10:58 AM) yes, in fact johor and ranhill profit from all this water business. Tbh, it isn't hard to understand by buying 50 cent selling 3.20 without doing anything.as many others have even drawn it in nice infographic to you. Malaysians pay more to Malaysian company or govt.? why this is normal, where have you been? if you still cannot or would not understand this then mmg you bodo sombong Profiting on tongkat? End of the contract , who profiting? Why 2061? Why not forever? Because they are waiting for technology breakthrough of getting water from the sea at cheaper rate. Even as it is now, the water rate in Johor is high. Penang and Selangor also isn't as high as Johor. Can't imagine what the new rate will be after we absorbing the other plant in 2061. Profit now, don't care later. No wonder it's easy to take advantage. Just like loan, get money now, pay later. I prefer to see it long term. |

Open out the agreement details then only we can read and debate. Now it's only heresay.
1) Why wasn't Malaysia insist of review the new rate in 1987? 2) Does the agreement has a clause that both countries will have reserved the right to review the price in the future when it deem to be unfair to either one of them? And a lot of question marks. But agreement/contract is signed and must honored regardless. Like how Malaysia cancelled some project with China and need to compensate for the cancellation of the contract. That will apply the water deal as well. |

You are damn right. selling at 3cent per 1000gallon is like selling at loss. Like other MY public, I din know it is SG that pay for all these costs. On top of this, SG is selling treated water at a heavily subsidized price of 50 sen to Johor. Totally disgusted that Dr M and the media did not tell us this fact You can read the facts from the link below: https://www1.mfa.gov.sg/SINGAPORES-FOREIGN-...ater-Agreements |
