Singapore paid for the infra (dams, piping, water treatment plants, the land required, etc), not to say I prefer this arrangement but Singapore follow the agreement and even went beyond the agreement to supply extra treated water to Johor. And when Johor cannot supply enough water as per the agreement, Singapore built extra infra for Malaysia which will be given to Malaysia once the contract period expires.

I'd say we better wise up to what Tun M is doing, and make our own conclusions.

We can say we kena conned by building a causeway that prevented ships to bypass Singapore port but that could be moot if China's belt and road initiative works (China is planning multiple infra to bypass Straits of Melacca, from Myanmar, or Isthmus of Kra in Thailand, or Port Klang to Kuantan Port, or even from Europe straight to China by rail).

Building the stupid crooked bridge won't help and arguing over the water agreement won't help in the big scheme of things.

Why need to compete when you can complement and strive for win-win? Up our game, focus on our strengths and let Singapore focus on theirs. Tun M is letting old wounds cloud his judgement or divert from what's really urgent, and saying things that rakyat don't want to hear.

Furthermore, spending money on military hardware upgrades to show to your neighbours is also not the best use of resources when you can make peace and divert the money to better use.

All this emo emo and political posturing is not really helping the day to day struggles that Malaysians are facing.
