Singapore signed a new water agreement with the Malaysian state of Johor on 24 November 1990. The agreement was a supplement to the 1962 Johor River water agreement; both agreements would expire in 2061. The 1990 agreement allowed Singapore to build a dam across Sungei Linggiu (a tributary of the Johor River) to facilitate the extraction of water from the Johor River.[1] This was an important arrangement as Singapore was unable to draw the 250 million gallons (approximately 1.14 billion L) per day of water it was entitled to under the 1962 water agreement unless dams were built over certain parts of the river.[2] In exchange for the Linggiu Dam, Singapore would compensate Johor RM$320 million for the land needed to build the dam and its surrounding facilities. This was in addition to a premium of RM18,000 per ha (per 10,000 sq m) and an annual rent of RM30 for every 1,000 sq ft (per 92.9 sq m) of the land.[3] Singapore would also bear the cost of constructing and maintaining the dam, which would be transferred to Johor at a later date.[4]In addition to the construction of the Linggiu Dam, the 1990 water agreement also allowed Singapore to draw beyond the daily limit of 250 million gallons of untreated water from Johor provided in the 1962 agreement.[5] The additional water would be processed in Johor, and its price would be determined by a formula based on the price of water sold in Singapore and the price of water sold in Johor.[6] Together with the water agreement signed, there was also another agreement signed with Malaysian oil company Petronas that secured the supply of 150 million cu ft (about 4.2 million cu m) of natural gas from Terengganu to Singapore.[7]Talks leading up to the 1990 water agreement had begun as far back as August 1982 when Singapore and Malaysia agreed to study ways, including the joint development of new water facilities, to enable both Singapore and Johor to draw more water from the Johor River to meet their future needs.[8] However, progress was slow as negotiations were hampered by several obstacles, including the premium for the gas and additional water to be paid by Singapore. It required the prime ministers of both Singapore and Malaysia to step in on numerous occasions between August 1986 and January 1988 before a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) – covering the future sales of water and gas to Singapore and two proposed transport links between Singapore and Johor – was concluded on 28 June 1988.[9] Following the signing of the1990 water agreement, Singapore proceeded to build the Linggiu Dam. The dam, together with other saddle embankments and ancillary works to create the Linggiu Reservoir, was completed in April 1993 at a cost of S$310 million.[10] The facility enabled Singapore to draw up to 250 million gallons of water per day from the Johor River.[11]References1.

You tell that to the court of arbitration that you ignore the cost of treating water, can ah?
Like a Singaporean said, make a win-win agreement, we're complimentary economies, we need each other to win, and you're thinking about maintenance cost when the bigger picture is China, and potentially all the sea trade bypassing us thru Myanmar direct to China.
Above article sure is a win to sg. Because got stupid people who see 310 million sgd owai.. Its myr, can feed us forever.
Cancelling 1 hsr project already cost us double or triple of 310 million myr.

Vivian Balakrishnan remarks that Malaysia-, -Singapore water deal is "morally wrong" 
Mar 3 2019, 10:09 PM
and an agreement without exit clause, without price increments/adjustment due inflation, without clause to renegotiate, is it still applicable in today's agreement standard? Is it morally right? What so if one of the direct party is not happy with the agreement.
