Depriving people of water is morally wrong
On the other hand, I can understand that people look at Singapore's prosperity and think that it's time they pay more for water
In fact I would say that a rate hike is a must, to account for inflation

(in case ppl think johor ppl drink Singapore's newater, do understand and realise that all of the water Singapore sold to johor came from johor and never ever left johor)
Most people don't even know Newater is not drank except in times of emergency such as war, normally it's used for lesser industrial purposesand invented by ex-Malaysian Chinese

A lot of the raw water of Johor already diverted to Singapore in the first place so how to produce enough treated water? This agreement, just like the building of the Causeway, was another trick by the British. On the surface, it looked as if both the building of the Causeway and the water agreement would benefit Malaysia but in fact we kena conned left, right and center.
We can moan endlessly that we kena conOr we can learn not to kena con
Guess which Msians have been doing for literal centuries
But going back to 1962 - well at the time we were so happy that we booted out all the undesirables to a little island, for a long time there was much rejoicing that we had kicked them out
But as we basked in our hubris and lenggang lenggok, people were working hard. Now we dengki and we say we kena con, they steal our land, bla bla
In my life I've watched the island's fortunes grow, from 2.2 to 2.3 to 3.0... in the meantime we are still stuck where we are
How much longer are we going to bitch and moan? When will we get down to business?
